This week was pretty laid back. My goal was to start doing daily vlogs but I didn't meet that goal. I'm not doing a lot everyday to vlog everyday. Plus it is hard to remember to bust out the camera when something is happening. Sometimes I am just so wrapped up in my own life and what is going on that I forgot to film it. I'm trying to do better though. I like the vlogging idea because I love to look back on old videos and reminisce. Its really nice to capture the memories that are flying by so quickly. I remember when BabyRose was born and we were in the hospital room together side by side, learning how to nurse and take care of her. Now she will be 1 year old in just a few weeks. So crazy how time is flying by. I wish it would slow down but I just have to make each day as memorable, bright, and happy as I can.
(BabyRose playing in her pretend car. She loves the music on this toy and dances to the music all the time. She loves to dance now :D)
BabyRose took her first steps last week and now she is trying to walk all the time. She is taking more and more steps and trying to find her balance and strength. So proud of her! I mean I know all babies walk, but it is so cool and special to see your own do it. She is also wanting to feed herself more too. She grabs the spoon from my hand and puts it in her mouth and says "mmmmm" now. lol.
(BabyRose seen here walking more and more each day)
Check out my new YouTube video of BabyRose exploring and enjoying her week and feeding herself with the spoon. More videos will be up soon. Thank you for visiting.
Hey All! I started my own Vlogging channel this weekend! I'm so excited to start vlogging. I watch a lot of vlogs on Youtube and thought "why don't I try this out?". I have probably thought about this for a very long time and tried to talk myself out of it. But yesterday I said "you know what, it won't hurt to just try". So I did and here I am now. I'm excited about this and sharing my story and my journey as a young new mom and my everyday life.
Seen here is BabyRose enjoying her Sunday with mommy and daddy. I stayed in the house because I wasn't in the mood to go out. But daddy and baby took a nice walk to the 99 cents store and back. And daddy enjoyed watching football all day. It was a lovely lazy Sunday.

Sorry I haven't blogged in a few months! Last few months have been crazy... well not that crazy but I just haven't had the time nor did I know what to write. I am such a perfectionist and I want my blog post to be perfect. But nothing can be perfect if you don't start and try. So that is my plan now. Just to try as best as I can to write at least once a day. Maybe at least once a week first then build myself up to once a day. I look at other mom blogs and they are so put together nice with nice banners and pictures and they write them like articles. I'm thinking "maybe they are all journalist majors" cause they are written so well. And I don't write to well, yet, I guess.
Anyway life has been really stressful. We have been struggling financially and just getting by. I have been trying to find a job but no one has called me back yet. I'm thinking maybe it is my resume or its something with me. I just want to work so I can bring in some income to my family and I just can't get a break.
Plus we are beyond frustrated with our baby's sleep schedule. She is currently still sleeping in bed with us because she wants no parts of her crib. She also nurses herself to sleep and wakes up every 4 hours or so to sleep eat (eating while sleeping, not opening her eyes just her mouth so she can soothe herself back to sleep). Its very frustrating. We tried the sleep sense, a sleep training program I heard about from some YouTubers. We tried it and it was working but its hard to get a system going because you literally can't go anywhere til the schedule is solid. And I just can't do that. It's hard for me to tell my grandparents "hey I can't visit today with the baby because she has to get this sleeping thing down". They don't understand or care. So I would have the sleep training down and then she visit great grandparents house and everything would be set back again and we have to start all over again. So we took a month off. I was like "you know what she is just the type of baby that only wants to co-sleep and I just have to accept that". But I can't and I know my fiance can't. We are tired and its frustrating and tiring trying to put her to sleep in the bed and nurse all the time. Yes I know she is only a baby and this is a short period of time but at a point it just becomes ridiculous. So we are going to try the sleep sense program again tonight.
Other than that, that is all that is going on. I really want to reach an audience and get some views. Any advice on what I could do to reach more moms and other people, let me know in the comments. I also want to start YouTube too but I'm shy and I get nervous and I don't want people to be mean to me on there because I'm so awkward and strange sometimes. Anyway that is it guys. Thanks for reading.
