*sigh* help me lord

Freezing rain, sleet and freezing temperatures are not a good mix, especially when your house sits on a hill and your driveway is steep as hell. I had to catch a cab to work yesterday because we were pretty much stuck on the hill with the cars. I went outside yesterday to do a dry run with out the baby and car seat to determine the best way to get down our hill. There is no best way down our hill. I tried to go down the grass, which was icy as hell and ended up slididng down mY neighbors driveway. -Accident #1- On my way back up the drive way I musta hit a slippery piece of ice (as if there is a such thing as a non slippery piece of ice) and I slid down the hill, lost my balance and rolled down the hill.  So by this time im serious contemplating how im going to get myself, 3 bags, Jr and the carseat down this hill with out breaking bones, busting asses or killing us. Thank god I found this little shovel in the garage, I used that to make a small path down the drive that I can walk down safely. Thank God I had a nice cab driver, he offered to carry the carseat down while I carried jr down. He was really nice for offering, but I feel bad because he kinda slid down my driveway. I giggled. Lol My chld has been in more adventures in his 7 months of living. Bug he takes it all in stride and smiles. I love him.

hes a good investment!

So apparently Jr does not like peas. When we try to feed it to him, we have more peas on his face, bib and high chair tray than we do in his mouth. So what i do to get him to eat it is toast some bread and smear it on there, cut em up into pieces and let him gnaw away. Its so funny because anytime Jr is in his highchair, Pachino is close by. Pachino is starting to understand that when Jr is in the highchair he does benifit from it also. When Jr is done with the piece of bread he was sucking on, he just opens his hands and lets it fall to the floor. Pachino probably thinks that he is a good investment since he doesnt get to eat table scraps. Now that we have the baby he gets baby scraps and baby food. lol Pachino has eaten squash, peas, carrots or whatever  the baby is eating. lol its great

its now time to baby proof my home.

Jr is now  7 months, he isnt crawling because he hates being on his stomach. I put  him in his walker and over the past two days hes realized how to get moving in that thing. He scoots to the tv and the christmas tree. I am constantly getting up and telling him no when hes in that tree. its crazy. he walked around his bedroom today and was instantly drawn to the tall dresser in his room. he was pullin like crazy at the drawers. Then he wandered to his changing table. I had to push everything back against the wall so he couldnt grab anything. I didnt realize i was going to be in constant motion with him, but it only makes sense. Its exciting watching him grow. Hell he's 7 months now and i STILL have those: OMG this is my child moments. That still blows my mind.

7 months and counting, Jr is learning to walk in his walker. He can scoot backwards on the ground, along with rolling over both ways. He is drooling on EVERYTHING and EVERTHING is going in his mouth. He can sit up for long periods of time before falling back   He blows plenty of spit bubbles and is a babbling mess. lol He is truly my heart.<3 p.e.a.c.e

perfect time of year for some firsts..

To me this is the best time of year. Its a time when family get together, the seasons change and we start to get snow, Christmas lights go up on peoples houses (including ours) :) This is the first year that we have put lights up on our house, i think they came out great. I think im most excited about the lights and our tree. lol I cant help it christmas lights make my soul smile. 

 

When jr saw our tree for the first time, he was like wtf is this? looked at it and went on about his business. lol The first time he saw it was during day light so i didnt expect him to be too excited about it, but when he saw it at night his eyes got big! it was too cute. i wish our lights blinked so that they could be more entertaining, but it is what it is and he still enjoys it. 

The most important first that weve had here recently is Jr holding his bottle now!! i still have to prop his hands up on it, but after that we are good to go! I cant believe how big he has gotten. he had a great thanksgiving hanging out with his granny and other family members. From what im told he ate very good that day (i was at work.) His first holidays are going great, i just cant wait until he understands it foreal! 

just a moment in my mind..

 This is our babysitter. lol just playin. this boy loves him some pachino. My computer is finally working again, so now i can post my pictures again. right now jr is sleeping, so i figured id take a moment to blog a little bit. 

I made some white chicken chili tonight, and mel loved it. yay! its getting cold out so its soup and stew type weather to me. So im just glad that i made one that he likes. now to make stew. 

i think jr is hitting another growing spurt. hes been doing alot of sleeping when were just hanging out at home. its like he eats and hangs out for like an hour then he just starts getting cranky and  finally passes out. if he is in   a growing spurt, im ready. ive already washed his 6-9 month clothes and hes actually been wearing some. i need to get him some more socks. i dont really know where to find any at. I cant recall ever seeing any when i worked at target. All i know is that my little fat foot baby needs some more socks.

Sr is watching the game and im getting sleepy so this is where this blog ends. lol 

peace 

da-da

Its funny how jr is 6 months now and im still having these "omg this is really my child" moments. Hes hit the stage now to where all he does is blow spit bubbles. its so funny. he babbles alot too. my grandma said he said da-da today. sr and i had a bet as to who he would say first. when she told me that i was crushed!! lol we ma-ma-ma-ma-ma in the car, and when we hang out and he went ahead and said da-da first! aint that a blip! i would have been ok with him sayin pa-pa first, but da-da? youve got to be serious! lol sr is too crunk about it. hes also figuring out those legs of his and turning over more. hes been kicking his legs alot and kinda scooting along. hes growing so fast its crazy.

there was a question game going on facebook the other day. if someone asked you a question you had to answer it in your status. someone asked me what the best part about being a mom. my answer was the toothless grin that he gives me. especially when i pick him up from my grandmas or when i go to get him in the morning. i just am so greatful for him and amazed that this small person is mine. omg this is really my child. oh man. i love my life. but im out, gotta get to work by 7.

take time to count your blessings.

I can say that when it comes to my son, i am truly truly blessed. im not trying to brag, i simply just want to share how god is so good, and how he will always provide the things that you need. I have a walker, swing, jumperoo, exersaucer, bumbo and now a high chair. Thank you Lord for those blessings. All of the clothes that i have for jr have been given to me. i havent had to buy anything for him even with the season change. i have been blessed for real with him. <3 thats all. Peace
