I turned around and she was asleep. Anma's a cutie!

Every morning

2009-10-13T18:41:00.000-07:00

This happens every morning.

I get up before her so she climbs to me while I'm on the computer.
That's her good morning to me. It also includes kisses and a huge smile.
I love seeing her wake up everyday!

Happy 10 months baby!

Im famous

2009-09-29T22:57:00.000-07:00

OK so not really, but I will come out on t.v. My cousin and I went to the taping of the Martha Stewarts show today. It was a high tech show. Everyone in the audience had either a laptop, blackberry or IPhone. Apparently we weren't as tech savvy as we thought we were. When some man shouted to log on as guest and type in the password he gave us, we didn't understand. I'm guessing it was for Twitter. I don't have a Twitter account so I don't anything about it. The show is going to air this friday.

--------------------------

My night out was TOO FUN! It felt good to not have to worry about cleaning a diaper for a few hours. I knew she was in good hands so I wasn't worried. The best part was that she was still up when I got home so we all slept in late.

--------------------------

We moved!! FINALLY!!!

We are now in a 2 bedroom, new building, elevator, dryer and washer downstairs, closer to the train, closer to my mom, park in the back and the list goes on.

Really this is a 1,000 times better! Isla has space to do what ever she pleases. Shes perfected her crawling, picks her self up on anything. She couldn't do these thing before because I wouldn't put her on the floor.

Islas first time in her room.

Things are really getting better around here. GOD IS GOOD!

Out

2009-09-19T20:04:00.000-07:00

I love my little lady, but I need to get out!! And tonight I am doing just that. Hopefully I don't get to much separation anxiety. Who am I kidding, give me an hour and I'll be showing pictures of her from my camera to everyone in the club.

We shall see.

Just because I cant make a post with out a picture here is the little lady that is waiting for me at her grandmothers house.

AnnMarie

2009-09-14T18:41:00.000-07:00

This is AnnMarie

Isla's oldest cousin, my first niece.

I swear she is one of the funniest kids I know!

(she was hugging the balloon)

Cutest too!

Her an Isla have an amazing relationship!

Soon(like really soon, any day now) she is going to be an older sister. The first boy!!!!!! PB&J as I will call him!!

Isla and Silvia. Both look pregnant, but only one is.

Me feeding Anma when she was a wee 5 months old.

Hopefully next family post will be about my Pb&j..Whenever he decides to come.

9 months

2009-09-13T07:15:00.000-07:00

9 months ago I gave birth to this beauty!

WTH why is time going by so quickly?!

My baby is turning into a big girl.

She eats just about everything. Honestly she never says no to anything.

She does this shy thing when someone else comes around, she will lay her head on my chest or what ever is closer to her. Can I just say CUTEST THING EVER!!

She says papa, dada, tata anything that has to do with daddy. No mama!!

She crawls/drags herself. Sometimes shes lazy doesn't want to pick her head up that's when she drags herself.

Her favorite shows are Yo Gabba Gabba, Blues clues, and Jacks big music show.

She has a temper. OH BOY does she have one!! She was once this quiet baby that didn't cry much. Now I dare you to take what she has in her hands or refuse to give her what you're eating, it will not be a pretty sight!

She waves and claps.

She loves AnnMarie, all little kids in fact. She screech's when they're around.

Isla likes to play this "game" where she throws what ever she has in her hands off the bed and waits for you to pick it up and if you take to long she will try to go get it. She is the only one that like to play this game. Bee and I do not!

She plays this other game where she crawls away from you laughing because she wants you to chase her. Can I say it again CUTEST THING EVER!

She wants to be with her mama 98% of the time. I cant blame her we are best friends. Shes my everything. I may want a break here and there but I always come running back.

My Bella in a Bee

Look at that stinger!

Something is missing

2009-09-05T21:46:00.000-07:00

Something is missing

About 3 inches from Isla's PJ's.

This was Isla at 3 months with the PJ's on for the first time.

Nice and long.

It was too cute to not take a picture!

Oreos

2009-08-29T10:34:00.000-07:00

I have an addiction.
It is Oreo's.
I cant eat them with milk, in my ice cream, in a shake, with fudge, fried, in my cereal, or straight out the bag.
They were there for me after I gave birth to Isla..
All 280 of them.
I ate them for breakfast, dinner and lunch.
I blame them for my weight gain!

I have to admit I think Isla is addicted to them too..

Why the long break

2009-08-26T10:33:00.000-07:00

We wont be seeing anymore of this around here!

Not with Islas name on it at least!

-----------------------------

A few weeks ago we can tell that Isla wasn't feeling well. Her eyes were droopy, she didn't want to eat her food. She had a bad cold, would tug on her ear, and was really hot. So we decided to take her to the emergency room. She had a Fever of over 100 degrees and a double ear infection.

So the doctor prescribed her amoxicillin and some saline drops here and there. Then it happened.....

3 days later after her first dose of the medicine she broke out in hives all over her body. Red itchy bumps that looked so painful!

(pictures do no justice...It looked really bad)

Back to the E.R. we went and 3 out of the 4 doctors that looked at her said she was allergic to the medicine(the one that didn't was crazy!).

They took her off of the medicine, gave me lots of creams for the itch and put her on benadryl.

It hurt me so much to see her feel this way. I would help her scratch when I saw she was itchy. There wasn't much I could do I felt helpless. People would see her in the streets and say "aw she has a heat rash"..If it was only so simple. Although I do thank God it was only a rash, I read some really bad stories about other babies that were allergic to the medicine.

My baby is all better now. We have our happy playful baby back!!

More cakes

2009-08-12T10:23:00.000-07:00

A couple of weeks ago I did two cakes. One was a Mario themed cake and the other was The Little Mermaid. The Little Mermaid had no Ariel or Flounder on it but it had the cutest octopus(of course with a bow) and the cake was made to look like it was under water.

I'm sorry the pictures are horrible.

The back of the cake. I was so happy with the way this cake came out. Especially since I did both on the same day and the Mario cake didn't quite come out the way I wanted it to.

Since the Mario cake didn't come out all that nice I will only show the top.

In my defense my mother rushed me because she had to leave and needed the cake.

My cheerleaders. They were so tired!! We had a long day.

This was my baby when we got home. She was all pooped out!

Likes and dislikes

2009-08-05T12:34:00.000-07:00

We went to the park last week...

She hated the swing..

Can you see the tears?

But she loved the sprinklers!

Look at those pearly whites!

Shes mobile

2009-07-30T20:09:00.000-07:00

Isla cannot stay still! This is why I havent blogged in so long. She rolls,climbs, drags(its not really a crawl yet) all over the place. We try to barracate her with pillows but she climbs right over them. Seriously I cant even use the bathroom without thinking that shes going to break her head with the corner of the bed before she slams on the floor. Its that serious!!

We really need to get her a playpen, crib or cage because this is getting out of hand. Let me leave you with pictures of my monkey when she was not so mobile.

2 days old.

We called this her robbers hat.

My hairs stand up when I look at these pictures.

Ps. I really wont put her in a cage, Bee wont let me! :)

Wepa

2009-07-22T16:56:00.000-07:00

look closely

2009-07-20T09:50:00.000-07:00

Beautiful pictures right?

But look closely....

we were at the cemetery visiting Isla and AnnMaries great grand mother Mama who passed away 5 months ago.

She was a beautiful women. I never met anyone who had something bad to say about her.

She LOVED all babies!! Especially her grandchildren. When Isla was born she resembled Mama allot.

That was the first time she saw Isla. Isla was 4 days old.

------------------------------------------------------
And just because its a funny picture, this was Isla that same day.

Diego cake

2009-07-08T18:35:00.000-07:00

This is the Diego cake I did for my friends son. This is by far the most difficult cake I have done! But good things come from hard work...more work! :) Allot of people have asked me to make them cakes. So WOO WHO to starting my own cake business. Now to get my hair bow business up! lol

Cakes a la Isa!! :)

Pay back!

For the record....Isla was feed up with Kaylin taking her toys away and picking on her. So she defended herself! :)

Early

2009-06-26T05:49:00.000-07:00

Its 8:50am. I am almost never up this early, unless I have something to do. And today I do!! Isla is at her aunts house and my friend Elizabeth is coming over. Her sons birthday party is tomorrow and I have the pleasure of decorating his cake. The cake is a 3 tiered Dominican cake with a fruity filling covered in color full fondant. The theme of the party is Diego so there will be lots of animal print.

I learned how to make my own fondant on YouTube. You can learn wonders on google. :) Ive done a few cakes some for friends and also my baby shower cake(I did everything for my baby shower, I'm way to picky!!).

Before I did my baby shower cake I did a practice cakes.

And this is the cake I did for the baby shower. Its hard to tell but the smaller cake is pink with green stripes, the medium one is green with pink stripes and the big one is white with black stripes.

I also did a ladybug cake for my Isla aunt.

So if anyone needs a cake and lives in or near New York call me!! ;)

P.S. Still cant believe that M.J died. R.I.P

Good girl

2009-06-24T10:43:00.000-07:00

Not for nothing but after the "incident" that happened last week she has been on a roll!! Literally on a roll. She wont stop rolling. The minute you lay her down shes off! She was turning over before but only from her belly to her back. Now she turns over from her back onto her belly then over to her back then over and over and over until we pull her foot back over to the middle of the bed. It funny because she always gets her arm stuck when she gets on her belly and you see her wiggle it out.

(can you see the stuck arm?)

She also says PAPA!! That trader!! It started as "papa" but now turned into "Dada" and sometime "TaTa". Its the cutest thing when she says it! She looks like a frog.

She also CUT A TOOTH!!!!!!!

So that's rolling over, saying "papa", and a tooth all in one week!! Take your time baby girl. Your growing up to fast! I promise not to drop you again, if you promise not to grow to quickly!

Poor baby

2009-06-16T21:30:00.000-07:00

What a day we had yesterday!

Isla met some family that came up from Florida. Her older cousins Jayden and Anthony are the absolute cutest little boys ever!! They immediately fell in love with each other. Lets not forget Titi Kim, Isla couldn't stop smiling with her.

20 minutes after we got there it all went down hill. I placed Isla on a bench with Anthony, while someone ran after Jayden, and my cousin prepared the camera. I turned my back for 2 seconds to put my water in her stroller...then it happened! I heard my family screaming "Ahi ahi ahi" I go to look at the bench and Anthony is sitting there alone. I look at the hard floor and Isla is laying. I quickly pick her up and begin to sooth her. I can not believe that happened!!

I felt and still do feel horrible! How could I leave her there unattended!! and "Oh shit!! Bradley is going to kill me!!"

OK so long story short...We took her to the doctors and everything was fine! Bradley didn't kill me! :)

She got a bump on her forehead, a scrap on her nose and a small cut on her lip. She took it like a big girl!!

Back to Jay and Anthony. When we got back they played together and took some of the pictures we were originally trying to take.

Before the craziness. My cousins Rochelle and Kim.

Do you see how much Anthony was interested in her.

Way before me I had Isla, I told Bee that if we did have any kids I thought they would look like Anthony. Ant has long lashes and so do we, Anthony's skin color resembles ours, the droopiness of the eyes, Bees drop like that just not as much. Now I knew I wasn't crazy because Kim told me that Isla looks like Ant did when he was that age. And they kind of do in this picture.

Check them out looking at each other

I can totally see them looking after Isla the way their dad did for me.

This is the only decent picture I could get of the two of them. They are so active!!

And just to show I'm not crazy..a picture of Anthony when he was younger. Can you see it??

Its WAR

2009-06-16T10:40:00.001-07:00

Bradley's brother thinks its hilarious that I want to feed Isla organically..so this is what he did...

Baby wearing stash

2009-06-12T10:48:00.000-07:00

Its time to show off your stash!! That is your baby wearing stash!! Stephanie over at http://www.adventuresinbabywearing.com/ started it and I decided to play along.
My "stash" is quiet small. I only have 3 carriers but use 2.
I have a Maya wrap. I used it allot when she was smaller. She liked the cradle position now she refuses to be like that unless shes breastfeeding.

Now I mainly use my Ergo. Before it made my back hurt but then some people told me to wear it further down on my hips and I swear I can wear her all day!

I won a Meeup from another blog I ~~stalk~~ read all the time http://4littlemen.blogspot.com/. It has a beautiful flower print. I don't have any pictures of it yet.

I think this picture is hilarious. When I was 38 weeks pregnant with Isla I tried to make a Moby wrap. Didn't go to well!! lol I put my niece Kaylin in it but have yet to put Isla and probably never will.

Bag lady

2009-06-10T10:35:00.000-07:00

My little bag lady Isla.

That's what we got when we tried putting her back in for some more pictures.

-------------------------------------------------------------

(If Isla and AnnMarie could talk)

**Don't mind the 1940's sewing machine in the back I borrowed it from my mom, or the ~~safe~~ dangerous cords hanging from the TV***

I:Look at the camera AnnMarie

A:Okay enough get off of me.

I:What ever

A:Tickle tickle Isla

A and I:HAHAHAHAHA

A:Alright I'm done now.

BIG NEWS

2009-06-09T10:37:00.000-07:00

Isla got her first bra!! Its a little big on her but she'll grow into it! :)

First tag

2009-06-05T20:07:00.000-07:00

How cool is that!!! :) I was tagged by Heather at http://livingthegoodlifeinbklyn.blogspot.com/ (not good at the html here yet..myspace is much easier!)

ok the rules are.....
1. go to your photo files
2. open the sixth folder
3. open and upload the sixth picture
4. write a story about that picture
5. tag six people

(took the rules from Heathers page)

So here it is

I think its funny that after my last post about laundry this picture was the one I had to choose. This was a few months back(probably the last time I did laundry :D). Isla was asleep on her boppy with mountains of folded laundry behind her waiting to be put away.

I tag EVERYONE!! Have fun!!!

Laudry night

2009-06-02T14:59:00.000-07:00

We finally did laundry last night! At 11pm, 8 huge bags and a baby in tow! FUN FUN FUN!!! We tend to always do our laundry at night because except a few crazy people we're the only ones there. I think the best part was ~~bringging~~dragging all of the bag 3 flights up. We finished everything at 3:30am. The baby stayed up the whole night making it much more difficult to get things done.

All that matters is that we finally got it done. Hopefully we will learn to do laundry every 2 weeks atleast.

Isla in the laundromats carts...

This made me think back when I was younger I got stiches under my eye for riding one of these carts. I was on the cart and one of the other little kids at the laundromat pushed me so hard I flew off the cart landing on glass. I remember rinsing my eye out in one of the sinks, then rushing off to the emergency room. That was the first time I got a stiches. Iwore a patch under my eye for some time.

Now you cant tell that I have stiches, they blend in perfectly with the wrinkles under my left eye. :)

Birthday

2009-05-26T20:14:00.000-07:00

I find nothing wrong with planing Islas birthday....even though shes only 5 months old. :) If I'm not online buying hair bows, or reading blogs I'm looking for things to get for her 1st birthday. Its weird even typing it. As excited I am planning for the day, I want it to take its time getting here(if that makes any sense). I really don't want her to get any bigger.

I was going to write a post about how much I need her, how she is a piece of me and without her things don't seem right, but Stephanie over at Adventures in Baby wearing beat me to it. Honestly that is exactly how I feel!

Here's the link to her post..

Headbands, a leak, and mothers day

2009-05-11T17:31:00.000-07:00

I'm the type of person that if I want something I'm going to get it. And if it cost to much, Ill just make my own. :) Some people on Etsy sell the most adorable headbands. I noticed how easy it looked to make them, so I bought a mess of flowers from a seller and made them. I spent $5 to make a headband that cost $18. Ive made one for just about every outfit she has!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In other news...This is what we woke up to at 4am.

There was a leak. May I mention that our bed is under the light. AHHHH to live in New York City!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh my gummy bear. The reason I now celebrate this holiday. My very first mothers day! I still cant believe it!

Our family on mothers day. This is the only picture I have of all 3 of us this day, that is why Isla is crying, and my camera strap is in the way.

And just because it was mother day, a picture of my mom, Isla, Kaylin, and I. Can you see the resemblance between my mom and I.

I hope all mothers enjoyed their mothers day!

Baby baby baby. Seems like I never have anything else to write about if its not about her. When you spend so much time with someone its hard not to only speak about them.
Isla in her monkey stance. lol Shes trying! Hopefully soon enough she will be able to sit up. If not she will have to monkey it out. : )
--------------------------------------------------

Someone please tell her that crack is whack!--------------------------------------------------------

Poor girl she cried right before this picture. See that hair bow was hanging on by a strand of hair, and I did just about anything to get it on. I cant get enough of girly things. Hair bows, headbands and tights! The longer the hair the bigger the bow. I cant wait for her hair to get a little longer. Etsy Is going to leave me broke. I just finished buying a mess of girly things like these. They are Itty bitty baby clippies hopefully these will hold on. Until then headbands it is!

Long week

2009-04-27T20:00:00.000-07:00

This past week was so busy! Heres a list of things that happened.

-"Clean" the house(more like push my mess over to a side)

-Wait for our long awaited sofas.

-Celebrate our aniversary.

-Trade babies.

-Go to the gym, scratch that. Play with the baby.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Like I said we finally recieved our sofas. We had to wait 5 weeks for them, even though they were already paid in full. At last our guest dont have to sit on our bed.

--------------------------------------------

The weather here is beautiful!!! I know I said that already, but it was so hot the weekend that I had to repeat it. We spent our sunday afternoon at the park. Isla was her daddys cheerleader. Poor baby she was so hot we had to take all her clothes off. I like to see her in her pamper anyways. lol

--------------------------------------------------

My sister in law and I decided(mainly me) to trade babies for a day. A friend of mine and I went to the childrens mueseum I took Anma with me, while Silvia stayed home with Isla.

The slide was a hit she loved it! Besides the plastic balls it was one of the only things she really knew how to play with.Anma and Christiann on the slide together.We had some moments like this.

We ended everything like this. Can you believe that I did not get ONE picture of this little girl smiling or looking at the camera. It as if she has a reflex to turn her head the minute she sees a camera.

The mueseum was a lot of fun, but it was at the children stores near the mueseum where I had the most fun. Left me broke, but I'd do it all over again. With more money ofcourse! :)
------------------------

When you leave baby with daddy because you want a few minutes alon, these things happen.

Spring

2009-04-17T21:40:00.000-07:00

As Moose A. Moose says "Spring has definitely sprung". Today the weather was beautiful. Our family enjoyed it. Daddy and Isla. Sadly there isnt to many mommy and Isla moments being that I'm the one behind the camera.Islas dolly. Don't they look alike? Minus the long hair. She came for the ride.Isnt this cute when Bee came home Isla jumped on him. Okay so not exactly but it excites me to know that she will one day. She has a fatty, its mainly her diaper but its still big! She takes after her mom. ;)She tried out one of her toys today. That damn thing almost chocked her. That smile you see there was a lie!At the end of the day Isla shared her stroller with her cousin Anma. We thought it would be cute to put them in together, and no one wanted to carry either one of them.

Is it just me

2009-04-16T17:34:00.000-07:00

Is it just me or does Islas arm look like a fat carrot?

Thank God

2009-04-15T18:01:00.000-07:00

Updated**

Everyone knows I’m not to religious, I really don’t go to church anymore, I don’t know any scripts from the bible, heck I barely know the story of Adam and eve but I do speak to him on my own time. The past few days I could not stop thanking him for the baby sleeping right next to me. Baby stellan has been in the hospital for the past four weeks, baby Maddie just past**Baby Thalon has also passed away (these are babies from other blogs that I read). You cant help but wonder why was I blessed with this baby girl?

Before I became pregnant with Isla I was pregnant with another child (Jr. as we called it). My mind could not come to terms with the fact that in 9 month I was going to become a mother. I was too young, I had just began going to the clubs, I didn’t want responsibilities. This was coming from the girl that LOVES babies, worked with kids and always hoped to be a mom. Eventually I started to accept it and looked forward to becoming a mother.

And then it all too soon came to an end. I went in for my 3 month check up and saw this lifeless baby floating in the sonogram. I felt as if I had failed the baby and God. I couldn’t believe how selfish I was. And now I had NOTHING!

I thought I was being punished. I thought He didn’t think I was ready to be a mother and took it away from me. And then I became pregnant with Isla two months later. I figured He was giving me another chance. Never in my life was I more grateful than the day she was born. He and I spoke like never before. I couldn’t stop thanking him for the gift He had given me. I promised Him I wasn’t going to let Him down.

I understand now that it wasn’t the baby’s time, for that matter mine either. He knows what he does and why He does it. I don’t know why the baby isn’t with me now. But I’ve learned now that you don’t question those things. He is my father there for He knows what’s best.

I do not know why I was chosen to be her mother but I know not to take it for granted. I have learned from my mistakes, He has forgaven me. I know now to never underapprecitate what is given to you for He know what he does.

My life has changed since the day she was born. Yes I don’t sleep anymore and I barely shower(If you know me, you know I’m not to fond of it anyway) but I’d loose a lifetime of sleep to have her by my side. Thank you God!

As for the babies, please pray for them and their families.

Ps. she’s four month as of Monday.

Liquid gold isn't the only thing she eats.

First was the oatmeal. She didn't like it to much.

*note to self do not feed solids after bathing the baby, and absolutely do not feed the baby when she is sleepy.

Then the carrots. She loved the carrots.

*another note to self take caution when the baby is going to sneeze, do not have food in her mouth. Make sure you clean the inside her nose after each feeding or she will have dry pieces of carrot in her nose!

sweet potatoes next.

My computer is done for. so lets recap this week before it shuts off.

When did my baby get so big?

She's 16 lbs 14 oz and 25.3 in in length.

The doctor typed it in, looked at me and said "you know that babies are supposed to double their birth weight at 6 months and triple it at 12" I swear its all breast milk with very few bottles of formula! :)

(a week later when she went in for her secound dose of shots, we chose to spread them out)

-----------------
Isla got some bling!! On her ears that is. My baby girl is getting so big, yesterday we pierced her ears after chickening out the other day. I think is hurt me more than it hurt her. If it was up to me I would've left her with one earring. Poor thing! But I must admit she looks so cute with earrings. Maybe now people will stop asking me "is it a boy or a girl"!!

Oh and she found her thumb and I think its the cutest thing in the world!

But back to my question..Where did my hairy armed, small belly, skinny legged baby go? I swear it felt like just yesterday she drowned in her coat and now I have to open the bottom so her legs can stretch(I refuse to buy another coat, its spring!!). I knew time would go by fast but never had I imagined that I would be sad to see it go just because I will never be able to go back to this. It is bitter sweet because I make new memories as time goes by, but you cant help but miss the old ones. That is why every chance I get I take pictures. So that I can go back to them and feel those moments all over again. As I do now.

Wheres Isla, bobo thief, and my weight.

Time to play..Where's Waldo (Isla edition)..

Did you find her yet?
Here's a better look..

Oh there she is! Inside of a Home Depot shopping cart.

She was a tad bit offended by the picture taking.

*******

Ladies and gentlemen we have found the bobo thief!

She attempted giving her the bobo..

She contemplated..

She took it!

Off of the baby subject for a bit, I officially joined Weight Watcher and Lucille Robert with a friend today. For breastfeeding a newborn does not make you lose the baby weight(DO NOT BELIEVE THE HYPE), there's a long awaited trip in the summer with too many skinny bitch's, and I need to not lose all my breath before I reach the front door of my building to then go up 3 more flights of stairs! I will try to keep everyone posted as for I know there are family member reading that would like to see if the family tradition will keep on or will my child bearing hips actually stop growing. Stay tuned.

Daddy and Isla

Our bed stold all her hair!

Islas cousins

2009-03-22T21:01:00.000-07:00

Isla has many cousins but shes closest to two of them. One from my side, another from Bee's side. Kaylin whos Isla's cousin from my side is 2 months older than her. AnnMarie from Bee's side is a whole year older.

It took her about two months to warm up to Isla, but its the cutest thing to see. Its a love and hate thing between them two. Anma will secretly pull Islas hair then rest her head on hers and say "AHII". When shes not being mean to her she truly does treats her like a doll. The minute she sees her she bombards her car seat. Anma loves to "carry" her and give her kisses with a big "WAH" at the end. All day she screams her name. Its funny because she says it better than other adults I know. Even though at times she throws in some Islo's instead of Isla.

One of their first pictures together.

She didn't love her yet.

These are too cute to not put them all up...

She was crying because they were taking Isla away from her.

AnnMarie and her looked allot alike when she was born. Not too much now but they do have some resemblances.

Anma on the left and Isla on the right

Kaylin on the other hand is still to young to even notice there is someone else around. Although the other day they did have somewhat of a conversation. It consisted of "agough", spit bubbles and smiles, but it sure was something to see. So for now we will dress them up alike in cute little outfits that they can look back on in the future and laugh about how corny we were.

Outfits courtesy of grandma Esther.She crocheted both dresses for the girls(had to throw in some free advertisement for her there)

They both fit in my arms, I wonder how long.

so maybe there is a love and hate relationship here as well.

If this picture can talk it would say-

Isla-"get out of my boppy Kaylin or ill hit you"

Kaylin-"oh no don't hit me, titi get me out "

Don't mind the fabulous background.

Cant wait to see what we have in store for our family as they grown older.

3 months

2009-03-13T13:43:00.000-07:00

3 months ago..

I slept 8 hour nights
I wore clean clothes
I wasn't afraid of anything
I was able to get up and go
I didn't smell like breast milk all the time
Noggin wasn't my favorite channel
I didn't know using the bathroom would become my only alone time
I didn't know soon enough I was going to alter my whole wardrobe
I didn't dread washing bottles
I didn't look forward to trips to Babies R Us and Target
I didn't look forward to monthly sessions at JcP and Sears portrait studios
Dry cheeks wasn't my main concern
Long fingernail's didn't worry me
I didn't take pictures daily that weren't of me
I didn't have long lashes batting at me
Tiny Bright dresses and tights didn't fill my closet
I didn't wake up to a smiling baby
and
I didn't have my Isla.

Isla is 3 months today. Time has definitely gone by to quickly.
