♥Whats New...
posted on Tuesday, March 27, 2007.
I finished the pants with the flames on them this morning..... they fit nice, i like them.  I haven't really blogged about Vincent lately.... then this morning he did something so awesome and new. I woke up to him crying and talking like i do every morning... i crawled out of bed like i always do and stumbled to the bathroom then walked slowly to his room wondering why he always wakes up before i want to. I opened the door, and Vincent is standing..... i put my hand over my mouth and laughed.... this is the first time he was actually really for real pulled himself up. He had this huge grin on his face like "look what i did mom" I was so proud i ran and grabbed my camera to take a few photos for his daddy to see when he gets home today from work.
We will lower his crib mattress tonight.  Here is his "look what i did mom" grin. Labels: flames, happy, pants, smile, standing

♥More Pants
posted on Monday, March 26, 2007.
..... they are pretty much all i know how to sew right now. but they are cute. i made him the black pair this after noon... the image on the bottom of the pant leg says circus sideshow, and you can see my dark blue thread.... i didn't have black. i think i did an OK job. Then the flame pair i made about an hour ago,they are crisp because i ironed them, and i still need to add the elastic around the waist... but my little model is asleep right now so it will have to wait. 
I am really enjoying sewing, the more stuff i make, the better i am getting.... this makes me happy!

I cant stop sewing!!! I'm addicted. Check out these Bad Ass Pants i made Vincent. I LOVE them!!!!!! cant wait to let him wear them.  The Scull images came from a favorite t-shirt my boyfriend had it was worn out and years and years old. I think its cool that now his son is wearing a pair of pants with the image on them.
and these....

Easter is almost here! Yay. I went Easter shopping today and picked up a few things for Vincent. I cant wait. This is his First Easter. Mostly though, i am excited because i made him a bunny. I bought a sewing machine, a bunny pattern, and fabric 2 days ago and i have never sewen with a pattern before so this was a first. I was so excited to do it that i spend most of the night on it, until i forced myself to go to bed.... because i had to work the next day. I came home today and finished him up. Hes brown with light blue thread.... i embroidered his nose and he has buttons for eyes. complete with Vincents initials over his heart. Hes a little gimp, but like i said i have never used a pattern before, so i am a little proud of him... even his lopsided ears. check him out. 
I hope Vincent loves him.

♥Spaghetti Incident
posted on Tuesday, March 20, 2007.
I make spaghetti. No i don't make it from "scratch" and no i don't make it from a "jar", but i make spaghetti -and its damn good spaghetti too! Today Vincent has his mommy's spaghetti for the first time. I put some in his little bowl set it on his highchair trey, and he dove right in. It made me so happy to see that he liked it so much. He was covered from his chin up to his hair line in red sauce, noodles hanging out of his mouth and all. I gave him a bath when he was finished, because a few wipes wouldn't do the job. Now hes a fresh clean happy baby, who loves his mommy's spaghetti.  Spaghetti Baby  Happy Clean Baby Labels: clean, food, happy, messy, spaghetti

♥Get Your Own Baby, This Ones Mine!
posted on Saturday, March 17, 2007.
 Vincent has a small bruise where his shot was givin yesterday. Tomarrow he will go visit his Aunt Cindy for a little while while daddy and i go pick up our new car. I'm sure he will have fun, and I'm sure i will miss him. He has been really cranky the past two or three days and i cant figure out why. He seems frustrated, he screams when either joey or i leave the room and he cant see us. He screams when we're not on the floor playing with him, and he screams for no reason at all. He is not spoiled and its annoying when people say that, he is 10 months old--- a baby..... not spoiled. Some people say i mother him to much... why? Because i surf the Internet and read articles in magazines and books for information on my best choices to make for him, instead of just winging it and hoping everything turns out all right. I mean really, how do you over mother a 10 month old? No he can not have cows milk, no he can not have peanuts or peanut butter, no he can not have that chocolate cookie, no he can not have egg whites. NO i don't care about how you fed all your children all of those things daily from the time you brought them home from the hospital. Good for you for giving your baby an upset stomach and subjecting him to possible allergies. This is my child, if you want to raise another one, have one of your own, until then follow my rules and don't question my reasons unless you are just curious, and not going to tell me my decisions are over mothering him. My reasons are justified.

Yesterday, Vincent fell for the first time and actually bled. Poor baby. i felt so bad. I was getting him out of the car and i stood him up in the grass and he was holding on to the car, for some reason he let go and fell, bumping his head on the open door and bumping his lip/face on the door jam. It was like slow motion, i could see him falling and the whole time he was looking me right in the eyes with this sad look like "you're letting me fall?" of course i gasp and he starts crying, so i pick him up and start loving on him and telling him 'I'm sorry' and that 'hes a goofy' and 'why did he let go.' He cried all of two minutes and then he was over it. When i looked at his face he had a little bit of blood on his lips, then when i looked in his mouth i realized he had a small cut on his top gums. Poor baby. I felt so bad. I gave him some baby Motrin to keep the lip from swelling and help with the soreness. Honestly though, i don't even think he cares or even remembers. I give him kisses all the time, and now he makes kissy lips. Its so cute. We walked to the park yesterday with his daddy and while joey was pushing him in the swing i happened to catch a picture of him doing his kissy lips. here ya go.....  I think he really enjoyed being at the park with his daddy. Joey works so much its very rare we get to do stuff involving all three of us at once. He really really loves his daddy.
Vincent had his 9 month check-up at the doctors today. He had to get his shot that he gets each month for his lungs. Today was his last shot. Thank god. He cries every time, and every time i feel bad for him and have to hold my own tears back. I guess its so hard because he doesn't understand, all he knows is that someone is hurting him and I'm just standing there watching. Doc said hes healthy and happy. Yay!

♥Its peanut butta jelly time. Fo real.
posted on Wednesday, March 14, 2007.
 I work at my Step Fathers doing desk work for him because he owns his own business. Sometimes i get hungry so i go inside and try to find something to eat. Usually, because they are never home, there isn't much to eat. They did though have Peanut butter and jelly. And that's when i discovered this peanut butter- Smuckers Natural Peanut Butter. It is by far the best peanut butter i have ever had. And I mean that with all honesty. Since then i have went and bought my own Smuckers Natural Peanut Butter in the biggest jar they have for sell. I have eaten PB&J sandwiches almost everyday for the past two and a half weeks. I love this stuff. It is Amazing. ***** I went to work today...... and worked for a bit before i started getting hungry. I was like "hell ya. Gonna go make me a PB&J sandwich" I went inside and opened the refridge (because that's where you have to keep this really cool peanut butter, otherwise the oils will separate) and there was no peanut butter. Dang it. Then i notice on the counter that they had peanut butter, but it was a different kind. My first thought was "what is this crap", but i made me a sandwich anyway... and let me tell you it was nothing like the Smuckers o natural. when my step dad got back to the office i said "whats with that peanut butter you bought. its gross". Hopefully next time i go to work he will have the good stuff. You to should go buy yourself some. You wont be disappointed, I promise. Labels: Peanut Butter

♥Motherly Instincts
I was thinking last night about the craziness when Vincent was born (7 wks early) and how he had to stay at the hospital, and how it was so hard for us to leave him each night. Mostly though, i remember how i kinda felt like he wasnt my baby, like he was just a baby that someone was going to give me, and we had to go visit him each day before we could bring him home. I mean i loved him, alot. I cried when i thought about how much it hurt to not have him home with me, and he was always on my mind. I guess it felt more like i loved him so freakin much, and he didn't care about me at all. Then one night at the hospital when he was about a week old, we were saying our good byes and our i love yous for the night before we were going to leave, i put him in his little bassinet thing and started tucking him in and he started to cry. All of a sudden i felt this feeling like a wave washing over me, and before i knew it i had Vincent in my arms and was lightly bouncing him while telling him "shhh, shhh,shh its okay shhh" in a hushed voice. He stopped crying and just layed in my arms all quiet until he fell back asleep. I think that was the moment we bonded. The moment that i think he realized how much i loved him and that i was the one that was his mommy. I am so glad i remember, and its not a memory lost.

♥baby Proof Fool. Or Get Worn Out
posted on Monday, March 12, 2007.
Big thing Vincents crawling.... everywhere and any where. He crawls up and down and around every corner that i could possibly not be able to see him. I'm having to get up every 2 seconds to retrieve him from where ever it is he has gone to and bring him back to where i am at. Finally this morning i had enough. **** My best friend has a son that is 6 months older than Vincent, they are going to be best friends when they get older, but that's another story. Anyway. Her son started crawling at like what? 7 months. I went to her house and she had the awesomest idea. Instead of putting Alex in a play pen, she just bought this from Babies R Us and sectioned off her whole living room for him to have. So its like one huge play pen. and best of all the babies don't even realize it. Yay. I went today and bought one brought it home and set it up and Vincent loves it. Well, maybe saying loves it is a bit of an exaggeration, but he definitely doesn't seem to mind. Now my living room looks like a baby play yard. I don't have to worry about Vincent getting into anything and hes always where i can see him. I would suggest buying one of the Super Yards to any parent. its so cool. Thanks Kristal good idea.

♥Get Around Round, I Get Around...Yeah!
posted on Saturday, March 10, 2007.
So Vincent definitely gets around now. He does this half crawl/ half drag your back legs thing... but its working for him. He has a fascination with the kitchen and keeps trying to crawl in there, and i have to keep bringing him back into the living room where i can watch him. Its pretty cool. We do things like put him on the other side of the room and then show him my cell phone or the remote control to the T.V. and watch how fast he can crawl to get it. He can crawl pretty fast.
We bought him that night light for his bedroom and now he is falling back asleep like normal. He just didn't like waking up and not being able to see and i don't blame him, i like to be able to see when i wake up in the middle of the night.  Labels: asleep, cell phone, crawl, nightlight

♥My Baby Rocks Out With His Socks Inside Out
posted on Tuesday, March 6, 2007.
Vincent is sleeping right now, thank god. He has had a long day. We were out most of the day... and he was such a good baby that when we went to Walmart i bought him this awesome toy. Its the V-Tech Story Book, he loves it, which makes me love it.  I also bought him some really awesome Cd's. What, doesn't your baby like to rock out? Mine does. Especially when its Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin. These Cd's are Lullaby Renditions of different bands. They are really good. I am pretty picky when it comes to children's music, but i popped one these in the CD player and was blown away. They even redid Stairway to Heaven by Zeppelin. Nice! I think these CD's are a must for any cool parent that has a cool kid that likes to rock..... to sleep. Right now i have the Pink Floyd one and the Led Zeppelin one, and definitely plan to getting more. Vincent seems to like them too, he rode the whole way home quietly. Yay!  We also picked up a night light for Vincent. Last night he kept me up until almost 3 in the morning. Normally it isn't a problem but i had to wake up early this morning. Hopefully the night light will make him more willing to go to bed. I think he is just more aware now and doesn't like the pitch black, who would when you are that young?

♥Standing is Tough Work
posted on Friday, March 2, 2007.
Today i was playing with Vincent in his room, well he was playing and i was putting away his clothes. He scooted over to his dresser drawer and played with it for a while, pushing it in and out about a million times.Then the next thing i know, he has himself pulled up and standing. I mean, hes no pro at it yet, but he was definitely off the floor supported by his feet. I'll tell ya it looked like really hard work. I ran and grabbed my camera and snapped a picture and then it immediately went dead, then later when i went to upload it there was no picture, just an error. That really sucks, but regardless i am still super happy for him. He is growing up so fast.  When Vincent was younger, he use to hate riding in his car seat he would cry and cry the whole entire trip, it really sucked in fact it made me want to avoid long trips at any expense. Then he got to were he was okay with riding in the car seat, but only if you had the windows rolled down and if you tried to trick him when he fell asleep and roll the windows up, he would immediately wake up and start crying and you'd have to roll the windows back down. I remember thinking 'my god it is soooo hot, and i have this perfect A/C that blows perfect cool air, and i cant even use it because my perfect three month old hates his car seat'. When really he might have just liked cruising with the windows down. I will say, he doesn't mind his car seat as much as he use to, and he lets me roll the windows up and down as i please now, but when they are down ... i look back at him and the little bit of hair he has is flapping in the wind, he looks so happy..... just chillin and cruising with the windows down.

 The last couple of days, Vincent hasn't wanted to go to bed at night. During the day he sleeps just fine, but at night when i put him in his crib and then go to leave the room he lets out this ear piercing scream. Maybe he is scared of the dark now. I should probably get him a night light. Instead i just get him back out of bed and stay up with him until he is so tired he doesn't care anymore if i put him in the bed. Maybe it would be easier for him to go to sleep if he had this extra cool blanket that his mommy wants him to have, or mabe this cute ass night light {{ ::cough. cough:: you know... his birthday is soon. I am sure he would love to have either of those }}.

♥Its Official Barbie Now Picks Up Shit..
Earlier today i was cooking dinner and i over heard a commercial and when i glanced at the TV... to my horror it showed Barbie picking up her dogs shit. Yes, that is right Barbie now owns a dog {{named Tanner}} who eats biscuits and then has to go to the bathroom in which case even comes with a pile of poop and a pooper scooper check it out here. What are these toy makers thinking. These children are going to grow up thinking its fun to clean up shit. They will probably over feed their dogs and then stalk them until they poop just so they can have the joy of cleaning it up. Poor dogs of the future. I will leave this bit with a ---- thank god i have a son instead of a daughter who will grow up to stalk her dog.

♥Cry Baby Likes to Roll Around Naked
Today Vincent was a handful, crying constantly. I'm sure its because he doesn't feel good, and I'm sure it annoys the hell out of me too. Tisk Tisk you say... don't lie, it annoys you to when your baby wont stop crying for two minutes so you can just go to the bathroom. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if he didn't do his squeal/scream he does. i hope he gets to feeling better. soon!  He likes to try and feed himself. i think he thinks he can do it on his own. He scoots around the living room floor like a little worm, making pathes through all the toys on the floor {{i'm not sure yet but i think the pathes are probably so he can find his way back}}. Earlier today i was putting dishes away and he comes scooting around the corner to look at me, along with the dog. They just stare. I ask them if they'd like to give me a hand and they politely decline my invitation by turning around and scooting the other way. Fine, I'll do it myself, you just remember this the next time you want to play with the remote control or my cell phone. I would like to give Vincent a hair cut. Hopefully soon, maybe tomarrow. I'm kind of scared to, but he has these little hairs that hang over his ears now that look a little funny. I don't want to take him to the park and all the other babies with there baby talk make fun of him. since his learning to roll over from his back to his stomach, changing his diaper is a war. He wants to roll over butt naked and i just want to get the diaper on. We seriously fight over it, he usually starts crying because i wont let him roll over, which makes the dog come over to inspect whats going on, then she sits there staring at me fighting with Vincent.
