Anyways, so the last week and a half has just flown by. Alexis and I haven`t done too too much, and it hasn`t exactly been the most eventful time in our lives, but we still make the best of it!
My girl is changing every day. She is getting braver and braver, climbing on things, falling down, crying and getting right back up and doing it all over again.
It began last week. The whole letting go of things and standing there. She still wont take that first step, but at least she isn`t afraid to let go and just stand there, hand free! She would sit on her couch and stand right up. Why I don`t have ANY pictures of this, I will never know...but life goes on. She now stands by the table, picks up her sippy cup and stands there, holding it with both of her cute little chubby hands. And today, finally, I got a picture of her, eating a popsicle, just standing there! Cuuuuuute!
She is getting to be such a big girl, right in front of my eyes. It`s like having front row seats to the best show I`ve ever seen, and I couldn`t feel any luckier. I always knew that life was a miracle, and even though I have been through every step of life and experienced things, it`s so different being the one to watch. And let me tell you, I will enjoy having this front row seat to her life, until she pushes me out of that chair and moves me to the back of the theater, which I know, will someday happen, but no matter what, I will always be watching! :P
So, there were days that we stayed at home, and spent days just me and her, and loved each other, laughed and played all day long.
And there were other days we went out and played with Aunt Nicole and Braelyn!
We even went to a Baby shower of a co-worker of mine, where Alexis ate cheezies for the first time! It isn`t something that I plan on giving her much, but she loved them and gobbled them right up as she boogied to some Grease songs! lol She got right into it, it was fantastic!!
Her daily right-before-bedtime-bath gets my bathroom soaked from head to toe. My girl can splash like there`s no tomorrow! I end up looking like I came home from walking in a downpour! But she loves her splashing time!
On one of our outings downtown, I spotted some halloween costumes. I thought long and hard about getting one, because I really didn`t know what I wanted to dress Alexis as for halloween this year. Last year, she was a little caterpillar ....
she was 3 months old! SO CUTE!
I was debating on dressing her as a little punk princess and just buying a colorful tutu with a cute little shirt and some funky tights and buying pink manic panic and putting it in her hair, that I was going to put like 6 pony tails in. BUT, I decided against it, and realized, she`s one years old. She`s gotta be CUTE! So, I chose between a Bee, a Pumpkin and a ladybug. I let her choose which one she liked, and she seemed to go for the ladybug the most, so that`s what she is going to be! A ladybug! And boy does she look super cute as a ladybug!! Oh my!
Nicole and I have made it an every Wednesday date to go to the Early Years Center in Belleville with the girls. They love it there so much! We spend hours there on Wednesdays and the girls never get bored or cranky, and it`s cool because babies come and babies go and there`s always a new kid for Alexis and Braelyn to play with or watch. Although Alexis is so independent and does her own thing most of the time. She`s always the baby that`s not playing with any other baby. But if she`s happy doing her own thing, then I don`t mind!
Last weeks play date...
and this weeks playdate:
So, my girl`s daddy and I broke up today. Just the way he took it when I said something, I knew he knew it was over too. There`s only so much you can do to try and when it`s all been done and it`s still not working, there just isn`t any point. And I tried. Many times, for things to work with us. It just wasn`t in the cards for us, and at least we got my beautiful baby girl out of it all, and she is all that matters.
I am going to look at a new apartment in the next few days, that I am going to take no matter what it looks like. It`s reasonable price and right now, I`ll take what I can get. And as crappy as it sounds, I will have to get social assistance to help me out, but I gotta do what I gotta do, to make sure my girl gets everything she needs, even if it means Mommy and Daddy not being together.
So, it`s a positive thing, this thing that`s happening, and I can`t wait to see what happens next!
Xoxo
