to err is human

well,
I said I was going to blog everyday. I said I was going to write in her journal everyday. hmm... I'm only human.

Her dad keeps bugging me about writing in her journal. I'm doing the best I can.

Bella really is a good girl. Her cries for food are almost non-existent. Don't get me wrong, she does cry, just not alot or loud. I can see her signs that mean she is hungry so she doesn't ever really get to the crying part. Being wet, having a wet diaper doesn't really bug her that much so, no crying about that.

This past Friday May 26th was a great day. Its the day she started sleeping through the night. She was sleeping REALLY well before, but now she goes to bed at 10:00 then is up at 6:00! We are so blessed!

I truly believe in giving your children routines, so our bedtime routine is bath, boob, bed. It seems to be working well. I sometime soon want to include book in there, but not yet.

I have my stroller now, and it is wonderful. We just went for a walk this morning. (7 am) The weather is good, the sunlight is just right, and its a good mommy/Bella time. It is 8:30 am and she is back to sleep. The stroller is so new she doesn't fall asleep in it yet. So, she was awake for our walk and talking to the trees the whole time.

Our vegetable plants are doing well. So far everything has sprouted. Beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, peppers.

I hope today will be a good day, so far its wonderful just to be with my little girl.

is anybody out there?

Is anybody out there? IS there anyone alive here?
Sometimes I wonder.
Busy. hmmm.. I used to think I was busy..

I used to think I had a lot to do.

now..

anyway.. as you all know.. time flies. what a stupid cliche. NO shit time flies.

Job front.. not so good.. SO.. we are trying to earn money every little way we can. I am selling everything we own on ebay and amazon.. well not really.. just trying to sell the things we don't need.
I am also making scrapbooks for people on the side, and have become an "affililate" for anatural products catalog. I hate those kind of things, but I have been spending so much money on the same exact products the catalog has elsewhere, I thought it would be nice to try to make some money back. Diaper covers are terribly expensive.. and our little beansprout has grown out of the newborn sizes we have already. So back to buy more.

Our Bella beansprout has grown to about 13 lbs. She's over 2 months old now. We still haven't mastered laughing, but smiling sure is great fun!

My birthday went well. I am 30 now. SO many people fret over turning 30. I thought yeah, it sucked. But no one noticed, so that was perfect! Bella and her dad got me "a day out" Spa, shopping, lunch, etc. I can't wait.

Super dad and I figured out we are definately going to have to move. whether or not it is for a job. This house cannot hold a 6 mo. to a 1 year old and us. We will have to look for a bigger place to rent.

So many changes. But, we can handle it.
