I just have to brag!! My baby girl is soo big! It just happened so fast. One day she was flopping like a fish and leaning foward when she was sitting and couldn't sit up from laying down and literally the next day she was crawling around and sitting up straight and could sit up from laying down all by herself. I can not believe how big she has gotten. She has learned so much. I really didn't think I would like this stage so much. I love watching her learn how to use her body and work everything. She can also do that "come here" motion with her hand. It's adorable. I also layed her down for a nap and I turned around and she was sitting up in her bassinet playing. She just does so much now. She is always talking.
Update for us. We are thinking about moving out. I hate not having my own house to do things in. Also this is an adult house. It's not baby friendly. It's a house full of teenagers. Aubrey will be walking soon so I want her somewhere that is safe for her. I know it will be hard but joe maybe getting a raise soon. We could use tax money for furniture and Lynn (my mil) has a trailer and she apparently told joe (my husband) if we want it she will kick the people in it out. I am seriously thinking about it. I need a safer place for Aubrey. I also hate that there is inside dogs here!!! There is dog hair EVERYWHERE!!!! So I'm going to work on the budget today to see if we can work it. I hope so.
That is so awesome she is getting around so well! Yay for Aubrey! I know you are so proud! One minute you think she is a "big girl," then she shows you she can all of a sudden do something new, and she is an "even bigger girl." lol
ReplyDeleteChicka, at this point, I can't say I blame you. Maybe living near Lynn wouldn't be that bad. We live right down the road. She never bothers us. You know she ain't gonna walk up that hill. Ha Ha. I mean, she could drive, but I don't see it happening. And she is too afraid you will tell her she can't see Aubrey anymore, which is why she was asking about the icing and stuff. She knows you won't deal with that "Nanny can break rules crap." And I can't say I blame you. It's ridiculous, especially when it comes to things like who feeds her her first table foods and such."
I don't know your family super well, but from what you said last night, I would want to move out too. You guys are past all that drama and arguing and being around the things you don't want Aubrey seeing. You have her to think about, and I wouldn't want to raise my kids somewhere that I don't want my kid on the floor because of the dogs in the house. Not to say that it isn't super nice of your Mom to let you stay there. That is amazing of her! But since she works nights and there was a lot of people there, which I guess there isn't as many people now, but it sounds like a college dorm. You know? And I know you want your own place to cook your family dinner and be doing your own thing without having to worry about things you don't like going on.
Yeah I love that my mom is so nice and is doing this for us but I feel like its time for us to go off and be a family. And the whole college dorm thing is pretty accurate. Her youngest children are 18 so that's the age for that her house is prefect for her kids. But not for mine. Lol she is a baby so there is a lot of thing I have to worry about. A college dorm is not a place for a baby to live. I am super thankful for my mom helping so much. But I am married and I have a baby it's just time for us to be a family.
ReplyDeleteYeah these people are crazy!! I need to be able to control the time they are around Aubrey. And I can't at moms house. I love my family and they are cool and all but I just don't want Aubrey to do those things and stuff. So I need to be able to control the time she is with them. I know they will say I'm being "stuck up" or whatever they may think but she is mine and I don't want her around that stuff.
Yeah I freaking know!!! She has heard me tell the story of Roni giving her cake frostin and how mad it made me. I almost got up and punched her right there I was so mad. She knows I am not doing that and it makes me mad. When we walked up she was talking to someone on the porch and she was all
Oh look it's nannys baby. Oh wait I cant say that is nannys grand baby. I was like are you serious? That was so annoying I was irritated
ReplyDeleteYah. I really hope it works out! Keep me updated. Using income tax will be perfect to get what you need. I get what you are saying. It works for her, but not for ya'll. You are your own family now, with a small child, not a bunch of teeangers. :)
ReplyDeleteSo you told them how you felt? I know you mentioned they said it was being stuck up. It's NOT. It's called being a good Mom and monitoring what your child is around. If they wouldn't mind toning it down, then you wouldn't have to worry about it. Kids are influenced easier, and when they are taught things that other people think are funny, but it isn't funny to Mom or Dad because they have to deal with it, it is confusing for them. I about flipped last night with the whole, "Whoop Mommy. Whoop Joe. Go ahead. If Sam would have done anymore than touch people when she said that, I would have told her to stop. I didn't want Sam starting that crap. She gets to much attitude when she goes over there. Meh.
I know, right. Idk if she assumed because you said she had potatoes...but that is not the same at all. Potatoes are real food, not filled with sugar.
Seriously? Well, you are Mommy. You make the rules. She might be mad, but...that sucks.
I know my family does it and I'm about to go off. They don't get it unless I scream at them. I tell them not she is my baby when they say it but they really are not getting it. That's how it went with the passie thing and I guess I have to tell at them for them to stop anything. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteNo I have not told them yet. But anytime I say something they either blame it on being a first time mom or say that it's crazy or something to that extent. I can't help the way I want to raise Aubrey is different than they way you raise yours. I'm different than you.
You remember when I showed you the pic of Aubrey playing with that thing on the end of her bassinet well today I went to the bathroom and when I came back she had woken up and on her Knees holding the edge of it and playing lol
Or my family says I'm over reacting also. It just popped In my head
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you and your family are different when it comes to kids. Like they follow the whole, "It takes a village" thing, which is fine for them if it works, but probably hard for them to understand you believe differently.
ReplyDeleteThat is cute! Aubrey is getting big! :)
