    "…There are certain people who come into your life, and leave a mark… Their place in your heart is tender; a bruise of longing, a pulse of unfinished business. Just hearing their names pushes and pulls at you in a hundred ways, and when you try to define those hundred ways, describe them even to yourself, words are useless."

    tummy time fail

    today has been a rough day for baby k. she’s been fighting sleep all day and just hasn’t been getting good naps in today.

    so what made me think that today was a great day to introduce tummy time? I have no idea… I was getting ready to do some pilates so I can get my MILF status in full effect and I laid her down on her tummy time mat.

    FAIL!!!

    and she was quick to let me know… she is now having tummy time on my chest…

    is it too early for her to start tummy time or was today just a bad day? when does tummy time typically start?

    baby k's first night out

    well, not out really but out of the bed.

    i swaddled her and put her in her crib tonight. i’m sitting here listening to her fidget and breathe and suck her pacifier and i wonder who it’s harder for to have her in the crib. to be honest, i think it’s harder for me to have her out of the bed. baby k is a huge snuggler (like her dad) and i miss her little head snuggling up on me.

    today i learned just how she got up under me when she would snuggle. i pushed her all the way to the opposite of the bed during our nap and watched her roll and scoot so she was right back where she started—up under me.

    the sad thing is that it’s hard for me to concentrate on what i’m supposed to be doing (work that is) even though she’s over there snoring and sleeping happily.

    i know i gotta let go sometimes buuuut i don’t know if the start of me letting go is going to be tonight.

    notesonascandal asks: What did you program into BabyBelle's "Pal Violet"? What's her favorite food & all that? I LOVE that toy! If I had another baby, I'd buy it. Your sweet little muffin is close enough! I shall shower her w/quirky baby gifts!


    Answer:

    well, since baby k’s name isn’t popular, i programmed it in as “munchkin”.

    her favorite food is apples (lol).

    her favorite color is purple (like pal violet)

    her favorite animal is monkey!

    I LOVE IT!!! she is amazed by the blinking red light and both of us love the lullabies. you are the greatest!!!

    Our Life: I Have a Bubble Child →

    If anyone knows me, I’m a HUGE fan of UPPAbaby. Jay and I got the Bubble during peak FLU season and it was certainly a lifesaver! We initially got it because the sun was always in Annika’s face in the car. What we found out was Annika (who normally hated being in the car seat) loves her…

    i’m thinking i may need to get this!
