Cried Her Heart Out

Published by texas_sweetie under , motherhood

...you probably think that I am a bad mother if I tell you that I let my baby cry for maybe 30 minutes or more.I was trying to put her to sleep but she insisted.I did what I have to do and still she wouldn't sleep.

I am getting pissed as I only have very low tolerance for crying babies(don't get me wrong,my baby is such a good baby,we only fight during sleeping time,she gives me a hard time for that) when I am sleepy.I gave her milk,put her beside me in our bed but she kept getting up and crawl.

I finally put her back in the crib,at first she had fun playing then moments later,she started crying and crying and crying.I was there listening to her the whole time she cried.I was pretending I did not hear her until her dad returned from grocery shopping and she was still crying...oh boy! Who cares? I just ignored her until she cried her heart out!

Now,she is quietly sleeping and I hope she'll slumber longer so I can take a break of her.SIGH!

Sitting Pretty

Published by texas_sweetie under , Personal, baby, motherhood

August 25,2008 has marked the calendar of my baby's another milestone.Sitting alone by herself with out any props.She just sat with the help of her hands.I put her on the bathroom floor for a while to prepare for her stuff in bathing...

And she just stayed there,looking around,crawling a little bit and waited when mommy is done with what I was doing...

...cute back of hers..I will treasure this photo of her 'coz she just looked so cute turning her back away from the camera.

Tired Baby

Published by texas_sweetie under , motherhood

Huh! Despite of the hot temperature today,it didn't stop us from wandering around the shopping center.It was so freaking hot and the baby was with us today.Mga laagan way gisanto! Poor baby for she had to suffer,nothing else she could do but suffer the very heat sun while mommy and titas gakaimat nawng pasulod sa mall.

Baby Deden must be tired because she slept on the way home tonight from Rose's house and even when we got home she was still sleeping until now 1:11 am already and not a single cry I can hear from my baby in the bedroom.Duh tagam naka mommy ug laagan anak!

I hope her exhaustion will put her to sleep all night without waking a bit so I can get the rest I deserve for I am tired too.I am signing off now bloggy and see you again tomorrow! CIAO EVERYONE!

Every Dog Differs

Published by texas_sweetie under , Personal, motherhood

I can tell the big difference of each dog's behaviour or how they behave towards their owners.Like for instance,our once very good girl dog named Giza(deceased) wouldn't grab or take food from us if we hold it by mouth.She would sit there in front of you and wait until when you're ready giving it to her. On the other hand,with Chichai,the naughty biatch little dog(the new one),she is so greedy that she would grab the food(treat for example) you're holding and can't wait to behave herself.

I did an experiment yesterday about how this little dog would behave if I put the chewstick in my mouth.I bend down and called her,she came and got crazy,grabbing the stick from me even if I did not give it to her yet.As in very "matakaw" and trying to fight with me only to get the treat the hell outta my mouth.

Look at attached photos how we fought each other,how she struggled to take the chewstick from me..huh! Way batasan iroa hakog ug hangol! haha

Gloomy Monday

Published by texas_sweetie under , Personal, motherhood

It's the second time in summer we got rain.I like it.I don't mind having a gloomy and wet day as long as I'm comfortable.It's already 3 in the afternoon but feels like it's still early morning for it's dark outside.

My mood flows with the weather.I am not up for anything,when I chat I only choose people whom I feel like chatting.Aside from taking care of the baby there is nothing else I wanna do but rest...rest..rest..rest. I am feeling a little bit nauseous right now but trying my best to entertain myself while waiting for the rice porridge to be done so baby can have something to eat when she wakes up later.

Living away from my own family ain't easy at all.When you are sick,you'll have to force yourself to get up and feed yourself.Unlike in the Philippines,you are well taken cared of,everything is ready including food because Mama is always there ready to be of service to you.

Brand Name Diaper VS Cheaper Diaper


We all know that brand names stuff are alot higher than ordinary ones.So as diapers.You buy Pampers brand,you'll pay a few bucks extra for it compared to ordinary diapers like LUVS or mommy's best. Knowing that babies gonna wear diaper until they're ready to use the toilet,we don't know how long or how many years is that to happen,using branded name diapers can be a burden to the pocket.

So what I do is, use Pampers for my baby at night time or during long travel for it lasts long and won't leak all night.When we're at home and during day time, I use the ordinary ones.This is to save us some money for diapers.Don't you think it's a waste buying for branded ones and would just throw it away after it gets dirty? Come to think of it.

When She Wakes Up

Our baby is not just a typical baby you normally see around.She is one of a kind,I should say.How many babies you know of who is happy and smiling almost all the time?
Do you know babies who would give her sweetest and biggest smile when she wakes up?

As far as I know,most babies if not all upon waking up would normally cry when mom and dad are not around or just because they just feel like doing it.Our baby is the opposite one.Whether she sees me or not after sleeping,she would just stay in her crib,make those panting sounds,baby mumble and wait for mommy to come pick her up.Attached photos are solid proof of her mood gikan tulog.

She Knows Where To Put Herself

Smart dog we have.I have no regret of keeping her here and treat her as one of our family.Yeah she is absolutely one of us.My husband spend his time with our daughter after arriving home from work every night.He would pick up his daughter from the crib and bring her with him in the computer room while he does his internet.

Chichai on the other hand is also with him but she would just stay on the floor and wait for Jadyn to come back to me before he goes back to her dad's lap.She normally sits there in front of the computer you know? Good girl and smart!

Sleeping Longer Now

Published by texas_sweetie under , Personal, motherhood

Since we bought our baby a crib,we noticed the big difference now when it comes to sleeping at night.Though I can't sleep deeply at night time because I have to check my baby every couple of hours but I am getting the sleep I need.

Baby too can sleep longer than before.She used to wake up at 8 in the morning but since she's sleeping in her crib,she could sleep until 10:30 a.m.How cool is that? Or maybe she's a big girl now that is why she's changing her sleeping pattern?

A Scene of A Happy Family

Both the girls,Jadyn-the human baby and Chichai-the animal baby had fun last night when I played with them.Jadyn was in the walker and chichai just runnin freely.We played "dakop dakop"..chasing after Chichai.How I do it? By pushing Jadyn's walker to wherever the dog is gonna go.

The baby would giggle so hard so as Chichai wiggling her tail as if she knows that we're in a game.Hayyy..while we do that,the dad just sitting on his chair listening to us as we were playing in the small computer room.

Rice Porridge (Pospas)

Published by texas_sweetie under , Food, baby, motherhood


In our native language,we call rice porridge as "Pospas" which is made of the basic ingredients rice and water.Today,I made some rice porridge for my baby.I make it into chicken savory flavor so she will have the appetite to eat it and slurp it just like her oatmeal cereal.

My ingredients are:chicken strips(I recycled the roasted chicken we have),green onions,rice,water and garlic.I sauteed the garlic and chicken first then pour some water into it and add the rice.Boil for 30 minutes or if desired consistency is meet and add the onions afterwards.

It sure taste so good that my baby likes it very much.I think I'm going to switch from oatmeal cereal to just porridge for her.

Beautiful Soothing Music for Her

Published by texas_sweetie under , baby, motherhood

Aha,I just disocvered that baby Deden has no trouble going to sleep if she has a beautiful soothing music.I am playing those old classical love songs that I recorded in a cd and play it while I am putting her to sleep.

Guess,she just behave,stopped moving and finally close her eyes and sleep.She is normally an easy baby but I can see the difference when music is being played.

Passion For Computers

Published by texas_sweetie under , Personal, motherhood

At young age,my baby has shown her sign for passion of computers.Each time I put her on my lap she would grab my hand and she'll be the one touching the typepad or touch pad as if she knows what she is doing.

My chatmates will asked me what am I typing for they cannot understand and I told them,no it's not me it's my baby trying to tell them something lolz..

She Is Crazy

I had so much fun playing with our two kids in this house,Deden-the human baby and Chichai-our dog.Playful Chichai started it all.She looked at us-I was carrying my baby at that time when she started to be playful with me.She looked at me and run.I tried chasing her but she run in a different direction wanting me to chase after her.But no.I stomped my feet acting as if I scare her and she would run so fast back fourth.

We were so noisy that distracted my husband while on the computer.He got up,watching us with fondness on his face.Then he uttered.."she's crazy! she's crazy!".And I replied,yes she is crazy-I meant Chichai. But crazy she he meant was ME!

What? I know it was just a joke and I burst out to laugh.Yeah I am crazy for entertaining two little creatures.Hayy life..

Giggle

Published by texas_sweetie under , Personal, motherhood

Greatest achievement of my baby so far is her giggle.She learned how to smile at 3 months.She is almost 6 months and she now giggles alot.An actress too.She would bring her fist in the mouth and choke herself,acting that she is coughing.

When I turn my head towards her,that is when she stop coughing and smiles alot.I did not teach her that,no idea where she get that from.One thing is for sure,I am loving my baby more and more each day.

Milk Coupons

Published by texas_sweetie under , Personal, motherhood

I smiled when I check our mailbox today and found 2 new milk coupons from Similac Advance with 5 bucks each discount when we buy milk for my baby next time.Milk is not cheap at all.It cost us 27 bucks the medium size can of it and oh it hurts the pocket.

Looks like we are gonna be buying Similac for the whole year or when our baby stops sucking milk.Keep all those coupons coming please so we can save a bit of it.Deden drink alot of milk that a med.size can will last only for a week.

Making Cute Sounds

Published by texas_sweetie under , Personal, motherhood

NOthing is more soothing to my bones except hearing my baby's cute sounds that she make.When she is well entertained she makes these cute cooing sounds like when she is pooping that is so good to my ears.

This house used to be so lonely because I was the only one who always left alone at home.Now that baby is here and is older to make sounds,I am loving life as a mother.I smile when she produce sounds only herself can make.

Not Feeling Good

Published by texas_sweetie under , Personal, motherhood

..I don't know why I have been feeling tired and lousy lately.As if my body is back to the days where I just had my baby,so tiring during daytime and couldn't get ample sleep at night. I tried taking a nap each free time I have but I couldn't lay down more than 30 minutes because I have so many things to think about that linger in my mind..

Haayyy life has changed drastically since I have my baby.No regret though because the price is so precious.She's so pretty and is so fond to be around.

Almost Run Out Of Milk

I didn't know what to do when I realized that Inday's powdered formula is gone.As in simot hurot ang lata.Though I have 2 bottles of ready to drink milk formula but it won't be enough until my husband can come home on Saturday. Its only enough for 4 feedings argsss...I can't dare thinking that my baby gonna get starved if that's the case.

When I went to the stock room,I was relieved for I found 2 cans of sample milk from Enfamil Lipil.Thanks goodness they save my baby.I was gonna throw them away long time ago for I had no plan of feeding my baby in the bottle..but I made a good decision to let them stay there..

I guess I don't have problems raising my child because at this early age,I can tell she is a smart baby.Look at the photo,she is now able to hold her bottle exactly as I want it to be positioned.The bottle will stay like that until she falls asleep.I am busy blogging so I need to teach my child atleast hold her bottle,that way she can help me earn money.

folded ears

Published by texas_sweetie under , Personal, motherhood

My baby's ears are like that of a rabbit for they are kinda big and sticking out.When she was born I remember they were so cute and sticking to her head that they create a mark to her head.And now? Oh real big but it's ok,still looking perfect for her.She is my baby and everything in her looks perfect to me.

I love her tan color too.Unlike other babies that are very pale like a piece of bondpaper.Our baby is a combination of morena and white colors so the result is perfect!

Little Blogger

Published by texas_sweetie under , motherhood

I can see the fondness of my baby's face when she is on my lap at the same time I'm doing something in the computer.She would get excited,happy and grabbing my hand when I start typing.She knows when I turn on my webcam too,she would look at it and smile.

I wouldn't be surprised at age 2 she will be using my computer for she's been exposed to it since she was a newborn.If that is the case I would let her do her own blog by then.

telling me to shh mom..

Published by texas_sweetie under , Personal, motherhood

Baby was acting weird.She was sleeping when I sat beside her and do my computer.Yes,I am noisy typing but is it enough reason to wake my baby up? Or perhaps she was just dreaming,she was sleeping then suddenly turn over.


She looked at me,not blinking her eyes once,she gave me the look as if I owe her a thousand bucks for seconds.It was kind of weird for her to do that and later on she changed her facial expression into "shhh mom you are too noisy". Shame on me! hehehe..then I laughed out loud!

My Goal

My goal is to atleast walk in the neighborhood or in the park once a week.I would be a complete jerk if I wouldn't do this simple goal of mine.I must help myself to lose this belly or I will be the one keep carrying this unwanted fats around my waist.

I would just drag the baby Jadyn and chichai doggy with me then it's fine to walk a couple of blocks in this neighborhood.I like it when we walk because I can get some fresh air and enjoy the lovely flowers planted along the pathway.

Can’t Force Her

Published by texas_sweetie under , motherhood

Ok,I give up.My baby knows what she wants now and what she likes is eating her baby food and drinking milk from the bottle. I can't force her to suck milk from my breasts.She just suddenly stopped to be fed from me since I gave her the solid food.

Sometimes I can't help it but to tease her.I know how she hates being forced to be fed from my milk and she cries so loud.As if I am giving her a big poop for she really is resisting.

Not Long From Now

Published by texas_sweetie under , Personal, motherhood

...not long from now my baby is gonna be holding her own bottle.Each time I give her milk,she would try to grasp the bottle in both hands though she won't hold it steadily at this time but she has a big potential of holding her bottle in few weeks.

I taught her doing the bottle thing since she was only a week old because I am into blogging and holding the bottle for her all the time simply don't work for me.I need to do other things too aside from feeding her you know?
