Snooty Face

Today Felice was home with her daddy because he was off today. They have such special time together. After getting changed and settling in, Felice and I had our dinner and I later put in the Disney movie "Princess and the Frog", we cuddled and watch the movie together. She nestled up in my arms and we both watched the entire movie. This is one that I will definitely be adding to her collection. After the movie went off we began playing a game that Felice like to do now, called "Snooty Face". We or rather she starts to laugh and I follow, then at random I say "Snooty Face" and she goes immediately in to pose. It's so funny to see her going from laughing one minute to the "Snooty Face" in the next. I just had to grab the camera for this moment. When I began taking the pictures, she even put more effort into her snooty faces... I just think they are all adorable. Just imagine her going from laughing to snooty face, I didn't think to get the laughing faces because I was laughing myself. Hope you enjoy.

My 1st Official "Mother's Day"

Mom, Mother, Ma, Mommy... I'll Never get tired of being called by any of them.

My First official Mother's Day. Wow, how wonderful the feeling is. There's No Greater Love than being called Mom. Felice and I got ready for church this morning and had a nice time. She really enjoys going to our church New Mount Olive Baptist Church and loves to clap along with the worship songs and when she sees or hears others clapping from the sermon being shared by our pastor.

Fred and Felice surprised me with the most romantic and sweetest gesture that they could have done. I pulled up to the Sunrise Athletic Complex. After arriving I see hubby and Felice under the kids shaded playground sitting on a blanked with a gift basket all set for us to have a Mother's Day picnic. Naturally I'm smiling ear to ear and so amazed that this is exactly what I would have wanted and needed. I certainly did not want to wait outside some crowded restaurant. It was absolutely PERFECT!!! He went to Crown Wine and Spirits and got the most delectable basket of treats put together and I just absolutely Loved, Loved, Loved everything that was in it. We didn't open the wine because we were on the kids playground and didn't think it would be appropriate or allowed even though it was on the weekend. Later on I left for the spa for pampering. It's the best official Mother's Day that will always hold a special memory and feeling in my heart. Thank you for making me feel extra special... My Sunshine & Hubby/Babe. Goodnight!

Happy Birthday "Jada & Jalen"

Today we had an early morning this Saturday I had to get ready go to my regular monthly sorority meeting w/Felice and hubby would also be driving our way also because he had to drop his car off to his mechanic that was near my meeting in Miami. Felice loves her car rides she loves to look at what ever passes by her window that's when ever she's not looking at herself in the child seat mirror. Well we got off to a later start than we planned so I didn't attend my sorority meeting after all because it was late; my apologies Sorors, instead we dropped off Fred's car to the mechanic and then went to his sister's to hang out for a while until his car would be ready. We had a nice time there. Felice became really active for some reason at her auntie's house. She want to be in everything with everyone.

Later on that afternoon, Felice would be going to her first birthday party of her twin cousins (Jada & Jalen) who's turned two today May 8th. We finally arrived at the festivities which was being held at my brother & sister-in-law's home. It was part Splish Splash and Outdoor Bar-B-Q. Felice was only dressed for the Bar-B-Q. She and I will be taking Parent & Tot Swim classes in either June or July on Saturdays. Being in South Florida, we want to make sure she's not afraid of the water and knows how to swim.

The party was a wonderful success and Felice had a great time with all of her cousins and family. Afterwards we headed home and Felice was out like a light before we got to the next traffic light. We were both worn out. I couldn't wait for us to get home so I could get some sleep.

Felice stayed sleep the whole ride home and even after I got her inside from the car. We sleep the rest of the night through with only a short interruption of her waking up for a bottle. After that it was nighty-night until morning. Zzzzzzz.....

My First Two Teeth..."Cheese"

I came home this afternoon from work to find out from my mom a wonderful surprise that Felice had in store for me. I didn't understand what she was talking about until she told me to feed Felice one of her snack cookies, this didn't seem unusual since I'm always giving her a snack or something when I come home. This time was very different. When she reached for her snack to eat it, that's when I saw the most beautiful exciting thing... my baby has her first two teeth. I was so over joyed with excitement it almost brought tears to my eyes. My little Sunshine is growing more and more by the day.

I climbed into her play-pen area with her and played with her and her toys. She's becoming so smart with learning how each toy operates. I always follow her lead on when it's time to move to the next toy, which seems to be about every 2-3min. She make sure that she gets to every toy in with her though. After playing for a while it was soon time for her feeding which I couldn't wait to see her teeth as I fed her. Her dinner tonight included Gerber "Turkey & Rice w/Vegetable" and "Apple-Blueberry Sauce" for dessert.

I watched a little TV while Felice finished up her bottle and took rest in her play-pen. After her bath time it was time for night-night. She snuggled with her Angel Baby that says the bed time prayer for her. She loves to hear this when she's laying down. It's lights out and nighty-night for all.

A Mother's Work is Never Done, but being A Mom can be so much Fun!

My postings are still a work in progress, so yall go easy on me. (lol) I'll try to update as often as I can, but once a week for now seems more likely with my schedule. If I'm able to do more, then you'll get to enjoy more.

Today I got home from work after an exciting day of shopping because I found the perfect decor for Felice's Baby Luau. I was originally going to order offline, but I guess my theme must have fallen in the right season because every where I look there is a Luau Here,... Luau There,... Luau, Luau Everywhere! No S&H costs or waiting on delivery for me. Yippie!

Anyhew, I finally made it home to my little Sunshine... she popped right up when she heard me come in and always gives me the biggest greeting that just melts my heart every time. I took her upstairs with me where we had some QT and watched a little bit of NickJr. Later that evening she ate her Gerber Spaghetti, Carrots and Apple-Cherry Sauce(one of her favorites) for dessert. She is trying to talk, a lot, and can get out a few clear words every now and then. My favorite one so far is "Baby" she has this Angel Prayer Doll that she somewhat attached too and will always refer to it as "Baby". After she took a short nap it was time for her Bath and now Mommy can have a little time to herself for the night until morning. Here are two video clips from Felice's day today. Smooches... Goodnight!

Say "Baby"

I'm Walking

My First of Many Posts

Ok, I think I may be on my way with this blog thing. Yesterday I went home for lunch like I usually to spend time with Felice, if she's awake, and have lunch with my Mom. I made us some ham & turkey wrap sandwiches. Felice was sleep, so I was able to do these fairly quickly. My Mom and I watched the soaps together sometimes. Right now I'm in planning mode for Felice's 1st Birthday. The theme is going to be a "Baby Luau". I feel like there so much to get done and I still have to hand make the invitations to mail out. Don't ask... it's the craft person in me. Running errands here and there, got home a little late after work. Felice was sleeping again, when she awoke we had dinner together. She's on some table foods, but not much. She had Gerber Chicken & Vegetables. She loves all her vegetable foods. Then for dessert she had one of those frozen fruit pops that like a slushie when you freeze it. She REALLY loves those and makes such a mess sometimes eating it. It's really cute. We played together and she watched her video lesson on "Your Baby Can Read", we're gonna see if the reviews are true and if she'll be reading soon. We'll keep everyone posted. Ta..Ta.. for now. Smooches!
