Vanity & Sin

She's a Big-un!

Miss Monkey is 26" long and weighs 14.8lbs!! My 4mo old mini-giant..lol.

Yes...I am a proud mommy. Who knew I'd be the super-goober mom? LOL Well, considering I never thought I'd be a mom at all? I think I'm doing alright.

The winds are changing...a few things I needed some closure are may come to pass here in the near future..updates on that scenario to come.

Hoo-Rah for Rice!

A 7hr solid night's sleep occurred last night - FINALLY!! Turns out my *Monkey* is allergic to oatmeal. WTF? Although the red cheeks & nose were cute - she is a much happier baby, and I'm a much happier mommy. No allergic reaction (knock on wood!!) - and a well slept night. In fact, I pumped up her amount of rice (I've been doing it gradual since she doesn't like it too thick yet) AND she devoured 4oz of rice/formula mix in...less than 5 minutes. Oh, it's almost too good to be true!!

I am a happy camper - talk about a freaking milestone MUCH needed.

Now..if I could just get her to hold her own bottle? LOL

15 days...

Until I find out just how much MORE my monkey has grown. I can't wait!!

And damn, I can't wait until she sleeps the whole night!! This is killing me!

Single moms everywhere - PROPS to you for maintaining momminess & excellence through too many sleepless nights. I think a man somewhere should start up his own business providing supplemental 'help' to single moms.. I wonder if Johnny Depp would be interested? Fuck that...gimme Ryan Gosling.. lmao

Yeah, that's lack of sleep and catching my daughter's cold talking... ah well. I'll make it. I'll just curl up with her and The Notebook with a box of Kleenex...get my girly fix over and done with.

Hey! I have moments too!!

Teething...

Aliyah is pushing 4 months old this month...and I've read about teething, the signs, the drool... blah blah blah.

But the part that they left out was the blood-curdling screaming that also accompanies the pain that tears right through your skull and into your heart!!! MY POOR BABY!! Luckily I caught it as I did - super drool and a fever, so I was able to give her some Tylenol right before she went ballistic.

How is this odd, Mom?

Well, you see...my daughter doesn't cry. She never has. MAYBE if I test her to see if she can by not feeding her at the appropriate time? But even then it's more of me getting bitched at, and damn she can be loud! But no real tears in the past several months except for: 4hrs and not eating OR these damn teeth coming in...

It's going to get interesting I see. Joy oh joy...
