doing laundry.

Little S is going through a phase where she doesn't want to be put down. i'm not too upset about it though. i know one day i will wish i could still pick her up, or that she would still let me.

so this is how we do laundry these days. whatever works, right?

lips.

 february 12, 2013

little s has my lips. i love how they curl when she is "talking" to me. i want to remember everything about this first year. one thing i know i will never forget are those sweet little lips. 

she is getting so big so fast, and i don't know where the time is going. everyone tells you that, but you don't really comprehend it until you personally experience it for yourself. 

one thing is for sure, i am crazy about that little girl. 

mesmerized.

i never knew that a child would be so mesmerized at such a young age by something. before having a child, husband and i would always look at other kids out in public watching tv on ipads and iphones and vowed that we would not be those parents. 

who was i to judge? 

when your baby is screaming and will stop in an instant if you put on mickey mouse clubhouse, how do you say no. as a first time parent and a stay at home mom, i was unaware of just how much time i would have to accomplish things. baby girl doesn't always nap + at times she wants to constantly be held. mickey mouse is my savior. i can put on a 20 minutes episode and make my breakfast or lunch, put a load a clothes in and maybe have time to make my bed. 

i'm not saying that when she gets older we will let our kids constantly have to be entertained by electronics, but for now, i will let her watch mickey for 20 minutes.
