♥Zoo Time
posted on Thursday, May 31, 2007.
 We went to the zoo today with Kristal, Alex and Aaron. They have this really cool water park thingy for the little kids, so we dressed our boys up in their finest swim diapers and let em go. Vincent really had alot of fun, It was nice. Alex was a little scared of the water that sprayed up and splashed, so he hung out by the sting ray, but Vincent was all over the place. I think the boys really like each other, they have been hanging out alot lately, i like it. I like Vincent playing with other babies close to his age, I think its good for him, good social skills.  I took alot of pictures, and Aaron video taped the boys playing in the water. Later when we stopped to eat Kristal and i watched the video, there we were Kristal and I with our two babies. Its so weird. We have been friends since eighth grade, never in a million years did i assume that only eight years later we would be chasing our sons around the zoo. Its funny the way things work out. We are so different now eight years later, but at the same time we are the same best friends that were were then, only with two little munchkins. Hopefully one day Alex and Vincent will be chasing their two munchkins around together.  Labels: bestfriends, zoo

Vincent, May 30th, 2007 Today was a very important day, it was your first birthday. the very first one of your life. I believe, the most important. You are such a big boy now, we went and got your pictures taken, when i got the pictures done and they showed them to me, only then did i realize how much you really have grown, you no longer look like a little baby, you look like a little boy. I remember the day you were born like it was yesterday, you were so incredibly tiny, only weighing in at 4 lbs 12 oz. i was so impatient to get to know you, wondering what kind of personality you would have. At some point in this past year, you morphed into someone i call My Son, My Boogie, My Brat, My baby, My Vincent, and now... My Little Boy. You have, by far the best personality a mommy could ask her child to have.You have a slick way of charming everyone who meets you. I'm sure those cute dimples you get when you smile is your secret weapon, or maybe its that cute laugh you do, when you scrunch up your nose and squint your eyes. I know you wont remember this day, but i want you to know i tried my very best to make it a great and fun day for you, all i wanted was for you to be happy. If keeping you happy meant i had to sing the birthday song to you over and over again while driving on the way to the restaurant , i did it, and you probably wont even remember smiling at me through my visor mirror as i was driving, singing you the birthday song for the hundredth time while you were sitting in your car seat clapping your tiny hands together. Yesterday you learned to clap for the first time, so its your new favorite thing to do. anything to make you laugh. i promise i will never ever forget this day, i will remember it forever, just like i will always remember the day you were born. i love you so much. Happy happy birthday little boy! love, Your Mommie Labels: a letter

♥Happy First Birthday.
I believe Vincent had a great birthday. first thing when we woke up we got ready and went to his pictures taken with his birthday outfit that his mommy made him. the pictures turned out wonderful and Vincent enjoyed his time there.   Then we went to show his Nano his new pictures and his outfit, he went swinging for a little while  Then we went home for a nap before going to dinner at Shoguns dinner.   While we waited for a table Vincent checked out the wrapping paper on his present, pointing out the puppies on the paper.
When dinner was over, Vincent took a picture with our cook he was checking out his really big hat. 
Then he opened his present.....
We came home, and mommy danced around the house singing happy birthday over and over again while Vincent clapped.. then we played with his dinosaur toy he got for his birthday and chased Stella around the house before going to bed, still in a really happy mood. I think this was a good first birthday. The party is Saturday, ill update you with pictures and all on how the party goes. to be continued......... Labels: happy birthday vincent

♥Sad? or Excited?
posted on Tuesday, May 29, 2007.
We had been trying to get Vincent to clap for a good two months , he wouldnt do it. If you take your hands and clap and then stop, he would pick your hands back up and clap them for you, but he refused to do it on his own and today... he did it for the first time. Now he is a clapping machine. He can also... as of Saturday stand all on his own, he hasn't tried to take a step yet, but will stand there for a while, smiling. Tomorrow is his first birthday. I am sooo freaking excited, but so sad at the same time. He is growing up so fast. he is no longer a baby, he is a toddler. I have been sewing for the past 2 hours to make him a birthday outfit to wear, usually i would be done with this simple pattern in about 30 minutes, but i wanted this one to be perfect. I am very proud, and i will say i did a good job. here are the pictures of my birthday boy (note that he is clapping in the pictures). i made the pants out of fabric with birthday candle print, and i sewed the number one on the shirt to create a set. I love it, and plan on taking him tomorrow to get pictures done. 
He is perfect, perfect and one years old. Labels: birthday

♥Some things are just meant to be
posted on Wednesday, May 23, 2007.
I remember the day we brought Vincent home from the hospital, it was a very hot day, and nothing could take away my excitement. i waited ever so patiently for the car to pull around front which felt like an eternity, when it did we all crammed in the little Honda, me and Vincent in the back seat and daddy driving. I remember telling joey to 'drive carefully' -meaning, in the slow lane and 20 miles under the speed limit using the hazard blinkers, i had been waiting three weeks for this day, and nothing was going to mess it up. We pull away from the hospital... free at last. Vincent is finally all ours, we don't have to share him with the hospital staff. The whole way home, i am thinking of all the things i want to do with him i will feed him first, change him, and then sleep with him in our own bed forever. The whole ride Vincent was awake. He must have sensed my excitement. I barely knew this baby, but at the same time i felt like i had known him forever. He was mine. I will admit the first couple months was hard, Vincent was colicky and cried almost constantly, a couple of times i thought to myself 'what have i gotten myself into' it felt like the crying would never stop, there would never be an end to all this. But nothing could take away my love for him, the months went by and he got better, he became my best friend. My purpose. i remember when i was younger, i always heard other mothers say "i love my child more than anything" and sure, yeah, you love your child, of course you do, your their mom. I can say now, that you will never understand what it means when a mother says those words, until you become a mom yourself. I believe i was meant to be a mom, I'm good at it. sure i lose my patience and yell sometimes. But still, its what I'm good at. I'm good at being Vincents mom. He was meant for me. And i was meant for him.  Labels: my purpose

 They actually play together now, its awesome. Vincent cant walk yet though, so he goes to where Alex is and it takes him all of like three minutes to crawl there and when he gets there, Alex goes somewhere else, so Vincent follows him everywhere. They fought over toys, which was cute. Best friends!

Today we went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant, Vince was very well behaved and i was proud. My Mom watches him while i am at work. I think he really likes going over there. There are no baby gates holding him in and he runs free all around the house. My mom called me Friday and told me that she "thinks Vincent is saying hello" and i said "really?" he's never said that before. She told me that she was playing with his phone and she was pretending to talk to me and his daddy and was saying 'oh the mommy? OK, you want to talk to Vincent?' and she would give Vincent the phone and say 'say hello' and he said hello. She said she tried it about ten times and every time he said the same thing, and that it really sounds like hello. She did it again with me on the phone to hear, and sure enough the midget now says hello. Later that night i was telling the daddy about it and i told him to get his cell phone and try it. Joey got his cell phone and said 'oh, you want to talk to Vincent? here he is' and he gave the phone to Vincent, and said 'say hello' -and ill be damned, Vincent, clear as day said "hello, DA" . We both started laughing. He said it again at walmart today, and again it was clear and perfect. I am a proud mommy!

♥2 weeks left
 2 weeks left until Vincents First Birthday. Vincent is getting so big so fast.New things happen everyday. He now says Mama, Uh Oh, Dada, Gives kisses, waves bye and hi, understands the word No, tried saying Bye Bye for the first time yesterday, can walk while pushing something for support, understands how to use a spoon to feed himself, will eat out of a bowl without dumping it and its contents to the floor, will hand you something when you ask him to 'give it to you' and points at things. I cant believe he is so big now, when he was born he was only 4 lbs and i thought he would never turn one, it seemed so far away, and now that its here, it seems like it came so quick.

♥Is He Really?
posted on Wednesday, May 9, 2007.
I know most parents think their child is wild. I certainly think Vincent is wild. On Monday night we decided to go out to dinner before the Daddy went to get his tattoo. We got ready and left the house in direction towards restaurants, not sure where we were going to eat we ended up at the Japanese Steak house (you know they cook your food right in front of you) of course they sit us at a table with other people... my very first thought was 'please please Vincent behave. Please!' not that he is bad or anything, but come one, he's eleven months old, he gets bored real easy. There we are at a table with four other people, two women who by there conversations i could tell they were friends, and then the other two people a man and a woman were a couple. We sat Vincent in the highchair between joey and i so that neither of us could actually get full blame for any kind of behavior Vincent displays that my annoy the other guests. I get out some snacks for Vincent to keep him occupied while we wait to place our orders and all that jazz. after about 20 minutes and a plate of sushi later the man sitting next to joey, out of nowhere says "your baby is really good. how old is he?" and we reply "almost one" and again he tells us that Vincent is being so well behaved. Wow. Thanks. Sorry i ever doubted you Vincent.  Vince and his aunt lauren Labels: behave

 i know you are probably tired of hearing about he Fuzzi Bunz cloth diapers, but i really like them. they are amazing. its been two weeks now that i have been using them and i still love them. No leaks and no nasty stuff. its super easy, a breeze. I have started letting Vincent take naps with them on, i just add an extra insert for more absorbency. i have yet to let him go over night with one, but i am getting more and more confident with them. i now leave the house with them on with no worry. I never put disposable diapers on him while we are home anymore. I never realized how much those things stink. He pees once and it smell horrible. With the Fuzzi Bunz i never smell oder unless he poops. I wash them every night to get ready for the next day. I love them. I cant say it enough. I love them, and would recommend them to any parent who is curious about cloth diapers. Once you start using them you will never go back. If you are interested, here is a site that sells them with a 30 day money back guarantee. Try them out. Labels: Amazing cloth diaper

♥Woo Freaking Hoo
The count down begins now. There is approximately three weeks, add or take a little, until Vincents birthday. I am so freaking excited. It feels like i am a child again waiting on my own birthday... except this time it will be my sons birthday. Is this what motherhood feels like, intense excitement all over again for each and every holiday that i get to buy my son gifts? We plan on taking Vincent to the beach and then to a Japanese Steak House for dinner on the big day. He has never been to the beach and i really think he will enjoy watching the cooks that cook your food in front of you at the restaurant. We cleaned out our garage yesterday, i literally threw almost everything away aside from Vincents things and Christmas stuff. I was just tired of it being in the garage, i mean we haven't touched any of the boxes since we moved here almost 2 years ago. If it wasn't sentimental .. it went to the side of the road for the trash man or anyone who drives by and digs through it. Update- that puppy that i was complaining about was stolen from my backyard last week. Who ever stole him doesn't know what they are in for and all i have to say is " Labels: countdown, puppy stolen, trashman come get the trash
