Ice cream

Nothing has been going on lately that's why there's a lack of posts. I also have been working a lot so it's been too crazy over here. Like right now I'm running on about 3 hours of sleep.
The day is dragging here at work and I have no way of keeping myself awake.

Anyways, the Cupcake has had a really bad cough for the past couple f days. We blame her grandpa because he was sick and well you know how that goes. But she's much better today. Not really looking forward to tomorrow because of the family drama in going through right now. I know my mom is going to give me some kind of grief because I'm not going to be at her house this year.

At least the Cupcake will be awake to witness the fireworks since last year she was only about 4 months old and was asleep early that she didn't get to see any of them light the sky. Hope everyone has a good fourth of July.

I leave you with some ice cream goodness.

Catching up with lack of Christmas pictures

The holidays are coming to and end, NYE is almost here...Saturday to be exact. With that being said, our regularly scheduled program will be in effect soon. Christmas. Well it was different, in a good but also in a bad way. First let us talk about the bad. Christmas Eve was spent at my house, also my mother's house. There was no Christmas spirit whatsoever, my little brother called it "Ghetto Christmas" I tried to liven the mood by playing Christmas music but was quickly shut down by my mother's really loud "banda" music playing in the kitchen. I suggested baking some Christmas cookies but my mother was already making desserts that aren't exactly Christmas anything. My mom ended up going to bed at 6pm so it was just Marc, my little brother, the Cupcake and myself just hanging out watching Hall Pass. Not the best way to spend Christmas Eve. Christmas morning, we got up around 730am and headed to the living room to open presents, that was also a bust. No excitement whatsoever, my mother even said it was silly of me to have the Cupcake try and tear off the wrapping paper off of her presents. Luckily, opening gifts was fast and well after that Christmas was over. So like I said, Christmas sucked at home.

Now on to the Good. Christmas day the Cupcake and I got ready real quick and took off to Faby's house to give Cupcakes play date Isra his gift. We were there for about 20 mins and we went off to Marc's house where his immediate family was waiting. Once we arrived the liveliness there was amazing. Once we walked in there were presents everywhere, the smell of baked goods lingered in the air, Christmas music was playing and everyone was so happy to be just hanging out with each other. This is what Christmas is suppose to be like. This is what I want my daughter to be raised in, good family fun. It is sad to say but I prefer this much better than being at my house. Anyway, we all got to open presents, watch the kids play, have some good eats, and just lounge around all day. I felt all warm and fuzzy just being around such a warming family. I have never spent holidays with Marc because my mom always gave me the guilt trip of  me never wanting to spend holidays with them....Newsflash! I am always home for holidays, it is them that leave me alone to spend it all by myself.

The weekend was just perfect at the end. Cupcake got tons of toys and clothes and she seemed really happy. I am going to try and make things a little different next year at my  moms house. I don't know how I am going to achieve the unachievable, but that's my goal and I have a whole year to do it. I am so excited for what the new year will bring us, looking forward to more wonderful memories.

This is the cupcake with one of her gifts, she loves this thing.

Sorry for the ugly cellphone picture...I have been way too lazy to take out my camera but I am going to try and do a 365 photo project, TRY being the keyword.

Brrrrr

You can definitely tell its fall. Well it actually feels more like winter if you ask me. I love fall, the colors of the leaves, the crisp air, the comfy clothes, and the indoor time is the best. The cupcake has been adjusting well to the temperature. The time change is actually a different story, but I won't go there. It is very difficult finding hats or beanies for her since she has a small head and everything is made real big or for kids that are much older than her. We make do with what is available even if it is not the most cutest thing out there. So far the Cupcake still has just the one tooth at the bottom, its coming out but not yet visible, even though you can definitely feel it. She also started using her sippy cup that has a straw. We went to dinner with Ceci and while at dinner I had her try it using a regular straw and she actually knew how to do it. So I brought out the sippy cup she had and voila she was able to drink out of it. I think she prefers this over her regular spout cup. We've also expanded the menu for her. I try to give her more table food. So far she's had egg yolk, piece of chicken, soup, pasta and rice. And she did try pancakes with syrup. Probably not a good idea since its all sugar and I'm really trying not to give her sugar this early. Let's see what else...oh yes we have also been practicing standing up. I'm not trying to rush it, I'm just encouraging it :-)

Everything has been good with the cupcake. On my end well not so good. My friend Ceci took off and I am sad that I don't know when I will get to see her again. Also Faby no longer wants to speak to me. I'm sad and heartbroken but I am just hoping that with time she might change her mind. Uncle Ernie is in his last days of Soccer tryouts so we are really hoping he makes the JV team. Lastly, the holidays are coming up. I am excited only because this is my 1st year with the cupcake so they should be different than any of the previous years. My birthday is coming up also but all I plan on doing is taking the cupcake to get pictures with Santa and getting a tattoo. I already know what I want, so I am super excited for it. I will be taking more pictures of the cupcake in the coming weeks, so I'm hoping it will make this blog a little more fun...because everyone like pictures.
