hey guys. it's been a while hasn't it? i bet you're surprised im blogging. heck, i'm even surprised. but it's a new year and i have the urge to do a recap. not that anyone cares since i havnt been updating for quite some time. but everyone knows that this year i had my son. he's 9 months now. yeah WOW. how time flies. he looks like a toddler already..big and long...Nowadays, he's exibiting personality..his very own. i even have a word for it. Devo. masculine form of Diva. oh yeah. if he doesn't like something, he'll let you know. slap at the spoon, kick when he wants to get out and then there's the fake cry. recently he's been going through separation anxiety. while most cry or whine when they're spearated from mommy, my son howls when daddy leaves, even if it's for a second. i find it amusing while daddy finds it weird and tiring. haha i really didnt know if i had it in me to be a good mom. i was never really a patient person. i drive fast, get annoyed when i have to wait in a slow moving line and i dont react well when i have to show someone something over and over. but im a bit surprised at myself. im a lot more patient than i thought. even when eli took a dump on my hand one time or when he smeared his doo all over himself and me, i gasped but find enjoyment in his shananigans. maybe im a glutton for punishment? hahah but i have been blessed. he's turned out to be a pleasant baby. he does well with routine and eats/sleeps well. even his cries aren't as loud as other babies but his poop is. for 2008, i will continue to be a good mom. i want to show him the world. allow him to take delight in the little things and help him to learn how to cherish all things big and small. take a lot of pictures and continue to be patient. but you know behind every good woman is a great man. i have to say i have been blessed in that aspect also. it's like Eli has 2 moms b/c his daddy is hands on and seems to have even more patience than me. he even seems to enjoy all daddy duties and does well to balance both daddy and husband duties. Eli is truly blessed. so am i. Happy New Year everyone! |
