i find it funny that sprout [the kid's channel] is doing a segment on mr. mailman going to spain because they won, haha. i'd like to say that i am ecstatic that my little one is finally eating three square meals a day, and not just that, she also has her snacks and gets excited about them too! right now she is munching down on some broccoli, which she calls "broc"- so damn cute! i find it funny

AHHHHHHHH!!!! i cannot believe she is almost two...it is just around the corner. current thoughts: ~kindergarten is but a breath away...i have SOME time, but not all. i have begun homeschooling her

this weekend was HECTIC. between shopping for anaïs' birthday outfit and getting the preparations for today ready, i am EXHAUSTED. the party was adorable though, and she really had a lot of fun. not to mention she looked so delicious and sweet in her strawberry outfit <3 ugh, i could just eat her up! i will definitely be posting pictures of this! she got to be with all her cousins and aunts

i can now relate to what my mother must have felt that one day. i was nine months old, and she irreverently sat me on her lap in the front seat as my dad and she drove me "a short distance". i always asked myself what the hell they were thinking. luckily, well, obviously, i did not die when that car impacted my dad's old jalopy. my proof of the war i fought? a big, ole' shiner! the pictures are

...is this a taste of separation anxiety? weekend is here! hooray! god knows the week has been quite slow :3 missing the hubby terribly during the day [i dismiss the fact he's usually shooting zombies, hehe]. anaïs can say cat, that, this, papa, and boca [that's mouth in spanish], nana [grandma to her, hehe] ^_^ oh, of course, mama and dada. molars coming in ;\ her appetite went down the drain

anaïs turned 11 months yesterday, and i cannot repeat this enough : the time passes by so quickly, so be greedy and keep them all to yourself as much as possible. every waking moment for me is like heaven with my little one. i am both happy and sad that she is slowly, yet surely, becoming more and more self sufficient each day :*) to celebrate her eleven months, she got a bunch of new toys to

nini had hew first taste of whole milk today in the form of cream of wheat. wasn't too fond of it. i made a homemade pizza [and i mean the homemade part -- all but the cheese was prepared from scratch]. it is very healthy and delicious with whole wheat dough and veggies! anaïs LOVED it. <3 my pretty girl. she was very hissy fittish today! she threw some tantrums here and there! she's been

i'm a bit behind on my posts, so i have a bit of catching up to do! for starters, i have been keeping up with my fertility charting pretty well. i have two more cycles of tracking before i start planning furthermore! anaïs has been eating better. as a matter of fact, she had a ton of baked christmas ham on sunday for dinner with the rest of the family. she kept raking it into her little

new updates on the crumpet: -weighing in at 19 lbs and measuring 28", she is simply irresistible! -has been "talking" ALOT! -spends her days giving people things and waiting for a "thank you!" makes her smile toothily! -will be turning one year old in the blink of an eye o.o time FLIES -has been on a food and crib strike...out of the blue! it's a bit frustrating ._.

today was quite pleasant out, so we took the brussels sprout out for a while. since it was chilly, we went to the mall, and there she rode her first carousel!!!! it was very nice because at first i wanted to take her, but had no cash on me, so i stood by the arousel and we watched as it went 'round. well, this family must've seen the excitement on her face and he gave me an extra token he had :D

greatness!!! hubby got the job :D he will either start mid-month or next!!!! hurrah!!!! little one is still stuffed up. she is so needy right now. it took me almost half an hour to put her down into her bed. she would be fast asleep and all of a sudden she'd start complaining. i have put a pillow for inclination for any secretions to come out easier. today hubby has a champagne tasting. we'll

hubby went to the interview today. he said it went very well. it's all a matter of patience and waiting till the call tomorrow. i am praying to all those entities i believe in ;_; i have a good feeling! little one feels better today. she is taking her long nap right now :3 i am doing laundry with my organic pumpkin soap, mmmm! she wore her new tights, jean skirt, turtleneck and peasant blouse

today i realized just how short a time they stay so little. holding my angel in my arms as she slept, i started crying, i mostly blame my hormonal imbalances at this time of the month, but i was truly sad that she is going to be walking on her own in a few weeks, and eventually running off to get married years down the road. oh god, i am a mess, haha, but i have enjoyed my little sprout in all

2009-11-29T15:26:00.003-06:00

dear anaïs, i love you and hope you feel better soon. mommy needs hugs and kisses too, but nobody but you seems to realize that :( love, mumma

had a GREAT day today with the sprout and hubby! we spent the afternoon out and about, strolling and enjoying the last days of fall! went to gordon biersch, had delicious nomnoms and beer! we were supposed to go out with leanna but i canceled :( i wanted to see the dickens of a christmas inauguration! oh well, maybe next time?

today we went to downtown mckinney for the first time. it is quite charming and quaint. there are a lot of mom & pop stores [including an awesome candystore!], and the buildings are ancient. it is simply beautiful. they are having a dicken's xmas there and we are totally going! we had a bite to eat at churchill's [not the one in miami, haha]. it was reasonably priced and alright pub fare! as

the common man - you are awesome.

my morning ritual: 1. anaïs wakes up, to which i try 100 ways to get her back to sleep. 2. she finally falls asleep...no, just kidding, there she goes again. 3. diaper change - wake up daddy to watch her while i stumble blindly around room gathering necessities. 4. diaper changed after five minutes of quelling the unruly little angel, hehe. 5. she sits, talks, slaps mommy, climbs mommy, plays

a bit of an absence, i know, i know. this week was pretty busy for me. idk why :\ a lot happened in the last few days! for one, we finally went on our playdate with zach and his parents! we stopped by at a local park and took a walk around the lake. it was quite enjoyable out, and the babes loved it! hopefully it will be repeated! teeto is finally here! he is BEAUTIFUL and HUGE! almost as long

crib built, bedding laid out, baby asleep ;) this is a test run to see if she can at least stay there for, oh, two hours ^_^ tomorrow will be the day she begins to sleep her naps in her bitty bed. i plan on transitioning her to sleep the night gradually. for the record: I AM NOT GOING TO LET HER CRY IT OUT. that is cruel and unnecessary. i know i will be losing sleep, but that's fine. i don't

last night anaïs went to her first soccer game :) it was the inferno team playing, which is a local peewee league. we lost, but it was a lot of fun. we saw our cousins and the kids, which played a whole lot with my little bub. she was really excited to be sorrounded by so many children! she would dance and scream and clap because of all the joy! i'll have to post pictures once they are available!

2009-11-13T16:23:00.000-06:00

little one has been on a kiss blowing spree these last few days. she wakes up blowing kisses and goes to sleep blowing kisses, hehe. it's adorable and i'm in love with that babyhead <3 had my first tastes of the coming months today when nahleen went to an appointment and mami and i were watching the twins ^_^ it's gunna be fun being a nanny, lol. i am a little sad because i've come to realize

today was a day full of excitement for us! to start, baby stood up three times in a row right after waking up! it was quite the feat! then in the afternoon dada, mumma, and anaïs all went to a new park close by! we had a wonderful walk and saw a lot of birds and trees! the little one got to see her first dandelion and it made her crack up :3 she stayed up late tonight because she was all riled

happy first month to the little cousins! yay!!!! spent the afternoon at the local mall [bad idea on a sunday]. did not buy anything for myself, hubby got a much-needed phone case, and anaïs got some new kicks, which i will post a picture of later! oh joy!!!!

a glorious day was had! the hubby, resigning from that slaveduty he served for long enough, spent the whole day with his two girls! the l.o. was in such a happy mood to be with her favourite person in the world! surprisingly enough, she did not cry once while we were out! ho-ho! as a reward she got a basket of meat [yes, it's true, but it's all plastic, haha. she likes the hotdog! lol] on baby

hubby claims that i sleep way too much, to which i shrug and turn around to continue my snooze. i LOVE to sleep, just like 99.99% of people i know, and if i have a chance, i will take it. who knows if tonight i will not get any at all! at least i am prepared for any possibility! if you mummy and daddys do not know, there is a series of music called rock a bye baby, and it features a lot of great

as a breastfed baby, my little dumpling is quite attached to me [no pun intended] and has been giving me quite a run for my money as far as food goes. part of the reason, i know, is because of her dentition [bka teeeeething], which, sadly, inhibits her from enjoying chewing because of the incredulous pain [remember your wisdom teeth?]. some days [rarely] she'll eat, but most of the time, it never

greetings readers, this will be another documentation of a stay-at-home-mom with a bit of time on her hands during baby's nap-time. i will attempt to make this enjoyable for both parents and non-parents; not focusing on silly little details and documenting everything, so you're safe. i will begin by boring you with details so this blog-reader-meet-author will be most simplest for you.<*
