really dont have a title in mind- so just updates i guess~

well its wednesday. needless to say im ready for it to be friday. as you know lyla is now sleeping in her crib. i must say it is still taking me time to know shes not in the room with me, but with the video monitor it made it alot easier. i just dont like the fact that if she cries i have to walk across the house- but she rarely wakes up in the middle of the night. i think the crib was a good move, now i have to figure out what to do with this craddle i have in my room, oh and not to mention her swing which she is too heavy for and she doesnt really care for it anymore but it sure was a nice toy at times! so now i have the craddle and swing that needs to go somewhere. any takers?
you know, i love being a mom but i have to say mornings like this morning make me want to stay home. i love it when lyla wakes up in the mornings and i hear her in the monitor cooing and awwing and singing and what not, and when i go in there her little face just lights up with the biggest smile :) awww... i love it! and then she is just so happy and she stares at me and johnny like she has so much love but she doesnt know how to express it just yet. some part of me wants to be a stay at home mom BUT 1. the money isnt right at this moment ,and 2. i think i would go completley crazy if i had to stay home ALL THE TIME- but lyla sure does make it hard-
and so now with her bottles we are at 5.5 ounces with a 1 teaspoon of rice. i think this weekend, i might try to introduce a little bit of oatmeal in a bowl for her. i also might introduce a sippy cup just to see what she does. everytime i hold up glass when she is sitting with me she grabs it and wants to drink out of it.... so we will see how i feel later this week about introducing a cup- yes i know 5 months and 3 weeks it a little early to introduce a sippy cup, but i just read an article from some moms who starting their kids at 6 months with sippys.... so we shall see how this trial goes, that is if it happens.
ok one last thing before i go bc this way entirely too long!
mothers day is this weekend, and i get to celebrate bc i am now a mommy :) so saturday is my mommy day! whatever i want to do, we as a family are doing it! i am super excited ! my first mothers day :)
but then there is the question of what to get my mom and my MIL- ???? thats always a tough one.
ok later peeps

oh and i just thought id share this :
