Growing UP!

My little Ry's room shows signs of a toddler, we now have a little table with chairs, a little rubber puzzle rug, and a castle that he recently got for his birthday in his room... My little man is growing up. The only thing in his room that still resembles a baby is the fact that he still has a crib instead of a toddler bed, which he will have for a bit longer I hope. I have resolved when he decides to be a little acrobat and climb out and over the side rail of his crib his bed will turn into a big boys bed.

His newest word is MINE! That is all I hear all day long... Mine, mine, mine! If I have a toy of his it's MINE! Goodness I can't say that I am super excited about this faze lol. He is also starting to throw a few temper tantrums hmmmm not sure this is a good thing. He gets in trouble when he throws them. Tell me, what are some of the things you have done to curb the throwing of the tantrums?

We just came back from week long vacation in South Carolina, it was great fun! I loved it, but I missed home so much. I am a home body, home is where I belong, even when I go to work somedays I long for my home. Oh just to be home!

My son is growing SO fast, it is so sad to watch, although I am enjoying every minute of it, I hate to see it happen... Where is the little baby I once held so close? He is growing into a big boy TO FAST!

Birthday Girl!

So if some of you did not know today was my birthday, and has been the most amazing birthday yet... Almost everyone I love was here it was an amazing day, I'm just tellin' ya lol. When I went to work I got a birthday cake :-) I work with some amazing people... Then I get home and had a present from my dad :-) that was nice... My son and I took a short nap, however when my son woke up he took off his diaper and went tee tee all in his bed :-( guess its time to potty train... The biggest down side to this was that I don't have a washer and dryer so I had to take his bedding to my mom's lol. Then we went out to dinner for my birthday... My momma surprised me with my traditional lemon cake that she makes for me every year, however most years I have to ask for it, this year she just surprised me with it, I didn't even have to ask for it. I opened my birthday presents, one of which my sister-in-law made me a book of my sons first year, I about cried lol. Then my momma told me my big birthday present was in her car so we went outside and to my surprise my mother-in-law sent me her CAR for my birthday :-) I feel absolutely loved today. I knew they were sending a car however it was going to be a two door 93 nissan sentra, what I got in its place was a 02 mazda tribute.... AMAZING DAY! Then to top it all of, I get home and my hubby bought me an espresso machine to make lattes with! Then I got to talk to one of my best friends...

Ok so now that i have told you about my amazing birthday, do any of my readers have any thoughts on how to potty train, my baby boy is only 14 months old... But it is evident with how many times he has taken off his diapers he is about ready to be trained so any help would be great thanks :-)

Eating...!

So anyone that has children knows that babies go through the stage where EVERYTHING goes in their mouth... They could stick the most nasty thing in there mouth and not have a problem with it at all. I have heard SOOOOO many stories of little ones putting some crazy things in their mouths, or even eating it lol. So today I went over to my mom's house to look for a few things, and it was just my son and I there. I was walking around looking for the things I was there to find, while my son played around. He reached up on the table and got a box with Santa on it, so my original thought was the box was harmless... So I went on about my business, a few seconds later I hear my son gagging... So naturally I turned to look at him and his little face was red and his eyes were all teary from gagging. So I stuck my finger in his mouth and tried to get whatever it was out. However in the process of doing that my son swallowed it... I later learned that he had stuck in his mouth a crayon and swallowed it :-( I felt so bad... This is the FIRST thing that my son has eaten like that, that I know of. He seemed happy and normal the whole day, so my guess is it didn't hurt him!

It's DONE!

Thanks to my sister-in-law she has done an amazing job... I love it! I hope you guys enjoy my new layout as much as I do... There are plenty of pictures of my little family up here so take a look, since I know a few of you have been asking about them. So in conclusion to my little post here THANK YOU SISTER FOR TAKING CARE OF ME ;-)

Enjoy all!

Construction!

Forgive me, my blog is under MAJOR construction, my sister is making it B-E-A-Utiful for me! She is absolutely amazing at this kind of stuff... She is in the middle of personalizing the layout you see on my page now! Thank you for you patience, it will be pretty soon enough...

Mosquito Bite

My son and hubby went out to a friends house last night while I was at work... They came to see me at work later and my baby boy comes in with 3 HUGE Mosquito bites... I felt so bad for him, he had one on his eye, one on his cheek, and one on his leg. This morning we woke up and the little bite on his cheek got bigger. Since we moved I don't have any rubbing alcohol to put on it...

What are your suggestions? How do you handle mosquito bites? They were not out long so I'm shocked he got so many!

Rewards!

I ALWAYS try to reward my boy when he does something right. Example: Every day it is a constant battle to get my son to sit down when he is in a chair or on the couch, mind you he is only 13 months.We have a special chair for him that he can crawl into, I think that when he is in it he feels like a BIG boy, he loves it.

First Time

A few days ago, I had a friend tell me I should start a blog, wondering what I should write about I simply asked her... "And what would I write about?" At this point she told me I should write about being a first time mom, and so that is what I have set out to do. I will write about all the cute, silly, funny little things he does, and all the dumb, stupid things his momma does... Hopefully in all of my writings I will not bore you...
