7 months

 
7months old… baby girl is getting too big! The saying goes “time fly when your having fun” so if I don’t have fun with her will she stop getting too big?? If only it worked that way! It’s crazy how fast they grow. Now I really know how my family felt when I got older! Well what is new with her since August 20 until now… well she gives kisses not with the hands but just makes the noise, she claps for everything, she will crawl off of everything to get on the floor like she can walk, and she takes the phone and put it on her ear like she is talking to someone! She is teething like crazy. Every night she wakes up crying but stays sleeping. I feel so bad. I wish I cab just make the pain go away. It is the worst feeling knowing your baby is in pain and you really can’t do something about. Yea I give her Humphury (I have no idea how to spell it right now lol) and I don’t want to drug her up because she is not crying like crazy. Also Orajel makes her sick so that doesn’t help! Only chewing toys and ice packs help her. I hope they just come out soon so she can feel better! Well that is really it!

Monday after the trip...

Today I am supper tired but work wasn’t so bad! Tonight I have my photography class so I’m super happy about it but I will need some coffee before! Oh I got my camera so the class will be even better! ;-)

Trip to Philly...

It’s always great to see family but home is ALWAYS better! My family lives in Philly. I went to see my 4 grandmas: 2 great grandma that 100yrs old (WOW THEY ARE OLD) and 2 that between 70 and 80! I wanted Alessandra to see them and take pictures because no one knows when God will take them! So we went up on Friday, September 11, 2009 and came back September 13, 2009 a quick trip! The trip did get what I wanted to get done, see my grandmas but it wasn’t as simple as I thought it was going to be! Here is was happen:
1. Friday we were suppose to be at 3:50pm but all fights were delayed because of the storm in PA so we didn’t leave FL until 6:50pm and got there 10:50pm so that knocked off my Friday time with my family!
2. We get there about to get something to eat and on the way my cousin got in an accident so end up driving to the sight to make sure everything was ok and to pick her and her son up! So we didn’t get to my grandma’s until 12am something!
3. Alessandra woke up at 6am so that equals no sleep! So we got ready and ate then went to my great grandma’s house and spend time with her! Took some pictures and went back home so Alessandra and take a nap!
4. Nap was too quick and she was up and about (what we call POWER NAP)! So we went to see my cousin and his baby and Alessandra loves baby so she was happy!
5. Then we went to my dad’s family house and saw my other to grandmas and we stayed there for a few hours and ate there! My cousin there at a yr old daughter so Alessandra had someone to play with!
6. Came back to my grandmas and chilled with my cousins and Aunt!
7. Woke up again at 6am packed up and got ready to go HOME! We left early so we can drive by Down Town where they have the history center and Liberty Bell for Alexander to see the city!
8. We got to the airport at 10:30am (1hr 15min earlier then out flight)! So we got come things for the family and coffee and went to the gate well DUMBA$$ self read the ticket wrong so we went to Gate F (instead of Gate C) and that was the LAST gate (had to take a bus there too) and when we got there I realize that it was Gate C so we ran to Gate C and the plane left and that’s when I realize that my cell phone’s time was WRONG! 15mins late so we missed the flight and had to reschedule! The only next flight was at 6:25pm! So I was going to call my aunt to pick us up but Alexander didn’t want to so yup we stayed at the airport from 12PM to 6PM! Thank God the airport had a mall so I walked around with the baby and went shopping and looked at things! We also found a place that rents our DVD players so we got one for Alessandra and popped her Mickey Mouse’s Clubhouse! She took good naps and was such a good girl! THANK GOD!
So that was my CRAZY trip! I love to see my family but there is NO PLACE LIKE HOME! Thank God Alessandra wasn't bad at all on the fligths! her ears didnt bother her and she was soo good! Alessandra of course didn’t know anyone so she had what we call MAMAITIES! In other words she didn’t want to go with no one but MOMMY! Not even to Daddy so I was beat because I had her the whole time! It was a good trip because it is always good to see family but maybe next time will be better! Alexander wants to go back to go through the PA history Tours! So we will in a year or 2!

Short week but so much to do...

Monday we had it off but I have tons to do at work this week before Friday comes. Friday I only work like 3 hrs to do the notices and then I’m off to get the last things for our trip to Philly!! This will be our first airplane ride with the baby and just thinking now I never been on a plane with Alexander either ;-) we are going to see my family! I have two great grandmas alive so I can’t wait to take a picture of them with Alessandra their Great Great Granddaughter!! We are just leaving her Friday around 3pm and coming back Sunday around 2pm so it a short little weekend to see out of town family ;-)

MY OWN LITTLE MINNIE MOUSE

2009 Halloween will be Alessandra First Halloween so of course we will be taking her first holiday pictures and I CAN’T WAIT!! I have a whole thing planned out!!
5 themes!!! I was going to put her as Raggie Anne but then I just decided to put her in her favorite charter… Minnie Mouse and OH BOY IT IS TOO CUTE!!! So I have my own Minnie mouse ;-)

LABOR DAY SWIMMER...

Labor day weekend, well I worked 13 hrs on Friday and all day Saturday so I promised the family that Sunday and Monday was all theirs ; -) Sunday I went shopping for Alessandra because she need some new outfits for the trip that are a lot warmer then out Florida outfits. Gosh I love shopping for her! So other then that, we chilled and just enjoyed the family time! Monday was pool day; Alessandra loves to go in the pool well any water at that! So the pool was nice and warm and the sun wasn’t so strong. Gosh she loves kicking her legs away! While she was in the pool with her Abuelo I got tons of pictures and if I may say I got some GREAT ones! Alexander got to program and set up my computer with the programs I need! It was a good weekend! I LOVE MY FAMILY!

PHOTOGRAPHY AND BLOGGING

Check it out...capturebybekka.blogspot.com

I will load up pictures and share every step of the way... more details over then on this blog!

work hard no play

I have been working hard to fix things and make things better for myself and more for my family! Yea I enjoy life but life is different now because I’m a mother and a wife! Life is more then the clubs and parties! It about family and love! And I did that party thing for years but if I may say I’m happier then I ever been!

Out the blue thoughts after talking to some old friends… they are single and living the party life. Hey I don’t knock it! That’s the chapter in life they are in and I hope they enjoy it and they will have different more chapters in their life one day!

THE LIFE OF A MOTHER/ WIFE...

Today I came home and WOW the life of a mother and wife hit me again… I cooked myself dinner and then had to cook Alexander “special diet food” and of course at the same time Alessandra had to eat her solids so I was warming up that while I cooked and played with her. Yup I did it because that’s what I had to do but I loved every minute of it! It was great to have Alexander come home and dinner was ready, Alessandra eating the same time as us and for the first time we ate together as 3! I cant wait until Alessandra is older and we have those moments more offend!

CLASSES AND FLU SHOT...

Photography class was GREAT! I woke up with the biggest headache and that this class was going to be hell because of it but I drank a nice ice latte and it really went GREAT! It was what I wanted from the class and I can’t wait for the weeks to come and what I learn. It was a little down that I didn’t have m own camera but my 2 cousins were in the class and they shared their camera with me so I was very happy that they were there! Alexander said I will get my camera soon, so I hope before the class ends ;-) Until then my cousin said I can use her camera for the assignments! I LOVE MY PRIMAS!

Flu shot… well I blogged a week ago that I was going to give Alessandra the flu shot but after hear stories of babies get it and that dot go to day care I got really scared and we are going to PA and next weekend and I got super scared that she was going to get it. Plus she doesn’t have the same antibodies as a kid that goes to school so she maybe easier to get it. The doctor says with this “swin flu” going around they think the flu season will be every bad this year. She isn’t protected for the “swin flu” but with this shot she will has fewer ricks to get it then if she didn’t get any shot! So she got the first shot and it was the inactive one so that made me feel better about it! And she didn’t get any side effects so we were even happier about that!
