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.

Hey Guys! Wanted to write this blog post as an update. Pretty much the same from last week. James and I are still looking for a new place to move to. That has been pretty frustrating, but you have to have trials in life to grow and appreciate what you do have. Its just very hard when we want to move so badly and no one will give us a chance. We are fixing our credit right now but not fast enough :\. But we need more space very fast because Ava is getting bigger and needs more room to roam and explore. We just have to keep looking and someone will give us a chance. Just have to keep the faith and stay positive.
The sleep sense program has been working really well. I hate that she had to do the cry it out method but I honestly didn't know any other way to get her to sleep through the night. I tried to do some non cry it out methods but she would not give in unless I put her back in bed with me, which was not going to work out. I enjoyed co-sleeping but after a while it became hard to do. She would want to eat (nurse) ALL NIGHT LONG. Like every 3 hrs. Plus she would take up the whole bed with her little arms all stretched out and James and I would be sleeping on the edge of the bed. It just wasn't cool anymore. We needed her to sleep in her crib so we could have enough energy for the next day keeping up with her. But it has been working really well for bedtime. Naps are another story and i'm sure in time she will get use to it better. But right now she only naps for 30-40min at a time when I need her to get at least an hour nap. Just have to work with her and be patient. Let me know if you have tried the sleep sense program or some type of sleep training or what did you do to get your baby to sleep in their crib during bedtime and naps.
Nowadays at 9 months almost 10 months old she is all over the place now. She loves to crawl back and forth like 10 times. Loves to climb her playpen gate and hold on to it walking. She is also talking and babbling more too, saying "ma-ma", "da-da", "ba-ba", and "bo-bo". Its really cute. She also loves her toys. She only likes to play with one at a time and she will hold on to it for half the day while climbing the pillows or holding on to the couch walking back and forth. Also at her 9 month check up she now weighs 22lbs and is 28inches long (my little tall-y with her long plump legs :D)
Check out my new YouTube video I made of Avarose playing and babbling. I'm starting to get a little better making videos. I'm hoping I will make more videos. I really enjoy editing and making them look nice. Thank you for visiting ❤
