wherein i'm a "bad mommy" again

Only in that I accidently let the batteries in my camera die. So no picture today (I have one or two, but I have to wait for the battery to be charged to upload them).

Another day of Lil Miss not wanting to take her naps, but being sleepy, so therefore being fussy. It wasn't a horrible day though -- Jimmy only worked half of the day, so he was around this afternoon to help with her. He decided he wanted lasagna for dinner, so he watched her while I went to the grocery store and cooked. Then she and I watched Night at the Museum (one of my favorite movies!) tonight. Mommy is sleepy, cause she woke up so early today and was up for awhile last night, but I'm alright. I'm just going to go to bed early (like as soon as I'm done here).

Lil Miss did the cutest thing tonight and I don't now if it was on purpose or not. In Night at the Museum, there is a T-Rex. That roars a time or two. The first time he roared, we were laying on Mommy and Daddy's bed watching the movie. She was staring right at the screen. When he roared, she did her little "roar" right after it. I don't know if it was a coincidence (I'm sure it was) or if it was a response to the dinosaur (doubt it) but it was cool and very cute.

Also, and I forgot to mention it this morning, she did something last night that she's never done. When she woke up at like one am, she didn't cry. I heard her grumping and grumbling and woke up to get her, figuring she was hungry. So I stand up and lean over to get her out of the bassinet and, as soon as she sees me, she grins this really big grin and then lets out this coo. It was the cutest thing ever and it melted my heart. Even today, when there were a few time she was screaming at me and, as soon as her Daddy touched her, she calmed down, I just had to let myself picture that.

It took away the "she doesn't love me" or "I'm a bad Mommy" thoughts. So I just need to keep running that image through my head.

Also, in that vertical bar to the right, there are videos (if you haven't noticed yet). I have created a channel on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/angelynnsmommy) that had random videos of her, just so y'all can see her and hear her "talk". Just so you know. (c:

Now? Fold laundry and sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

"i'm a rockstar!!"

April 29, 2009

Yes, Lil Miss has a mohawk. Yes, Mommy and Daddy are dorks. Our daughter is a rockstar and I love it. (c:

So, Lil Miss had her first bath in the new apartment tonight, in the bathtub. She seemed to like it. We filled it enough that there was some water above the very bottom of the seat so she was sitting in warm water. She liked that a good bit. But, she's a little wiggle worm so we have to be really careful. Cause she tries to wiggle her way out of the seat (not good!) or down in the seat (again, not good). Not good cause I don't want her getting her down in the water and, you know, going INTO the water. Bad bad bad, of course. So you have to keep one hand on her at all times.

Not a bad thing, not hard, it's just something we have to remember to do cause she's my little wiggle worm. But she likes the warm and the water and the feeling of being bathed. She doesn't even fuss when you pour water over he head. She just doesn't like the cold world once she's taken OUT of the water. (c:

Hence the fussiness in her cute little mohawk picture.

Pictures of her "faces". Clockwise from the top left: her "confused" face, her "grumpy" face, her "sleepy" face, her "happy" face, her "my-parents-are-crazy" face, her "yuck" face (the face she makes when she spits out her binky or pushes away a bottle cause she's done) and her "suprised" face.

Lil Miss makes some of the cutest faces. The above is compiled from just taking pictures rapidly over and over for about five minutes this afternoon at work. I have a video of her too; I'll try to get it up soon cause it's very cute. Her making her little faces and noises. They're awfully cute.

So we finished moving completely today. Everything is in the new apartment and the old apartment is clean. Almost everything is unpacked. I cleaned this morning while Daddy watched the baby (it was his day off again) and then Lil Miss and I went to work. She was actually awake most of the morning and a good bit of the afternoon. She's started staying awake a good bit. It's very cute and fun cause it means I actually get to play with her, which is cool.

She's also started being able to get herself back to sleep when she starts to wake up if she's not hungry or wet. That's nice too.

She's the cutest, sweetest little baby. She's so good and doesn't really have fits unless there's a really good reason. I know I've said this before, but we are very lucky and very very spoiled by this munchkin.

Also, I want to try and do a blessing for Lil Miss at some point this summer. I was talking to Anj about it because I was thinking of doing a baptism, but that's not exactly our thing, you know? That really wasn't what I wanted to do, but I couldn't think of what to call it. She suggested doing a "blessing" instead, that we can create how we want to.

So I want to try and do it. I'm not sure when or where, but I want as much of the family to be able to be there as possible, so my guess it, well, not here, but somewhere between the two families. Maybe this summer? I don't know, we'll see. Mainly it's just a heads up and I'll keep everyone in the loop. (c:

Now, I go watch Yes Man with Jimmy and then sleep. Love you all!

Lil Miss being her cute, adorable little self. HOW can you not just adore that baby?
