So my little bird is giving the Grandparents a hard way to go. LOL I was told today that he cries much of the time I am gone from him won't eat and can'tbe comforted. What does that say? I have a strong connection with my baby. We spend 99% of our time together (last night I even put him in the bed when he couldn't get comfortable). He wants what he wants and at 4 months old is VERY capable of letting EVERYONE know or make their life a living hell in the process. Sooner or later he will grow out of it but as our pediatrician told me in the beginning at this age there is no such thing as spoiling your baby.

Mama is in the process of making his mash potatoes ahead of time for Christmas Eve dinner. He has been eating so well. I don't know whether or not I am to blame though for his lack of enthusiasm in the veggie dept. I ate a lot of potato products and fruit when I was pregnant. Its the only thing that tasted right to me.

Toni will be home some time tommorow but were not sure what time. We celebrate Christmas Eve at her parents house. This year were having prime rib. YUM! I am cooking a VERY large Ham dinner for my family Christmas Day which will consist of real cheesy mashed potatoes and green bean casserole which I can never get enough of on the holidays. I have a recipe for an awesome ham glaze I wanta try.

Happy Holidays to your all! And see you in the New Year!

So Christmas is over. (see pics) This year was HECTIC but enjoyable. Toni's mom made this hige elaborate dinner that took 2 hours to get through. We had broccoli cheese soup, prong salad, fruit, prime rib, potatoes and green bean alomondine. Before dinner we opened presents which didnt take so long. Luca got some clothes and toys to which he seemed to like a lot. He was enthusiastic about ripping paper which was funny to watch. Afterwards we played Disney Trivia and I rocked! LOL

My family came over for Christmas dinner and we had the pitter patter clomp through the house as my niece ran ALL OVER THE HOUSE after the dog. LMAO. My Mother of course ran after her while loading her up with sugar which did not help the situation. Dinner was good. My Ham was a hit and the presents were as well. :-) Thanks for the digital frame Fe! I promise to put it to good use. What an awesome present.

The Tree came down today along with the decorations. (Remember folks I decorate the 3rd of Nov. LOL) Back to baby toys and stuff all over the living room.

Toni has is running her second load as I speak and doing well. :-) I am very proud of her. Today she goes from Jessup to New York. Luca has rolled over the first time today. I was very excited to see him on his belly with his arms holding up his upper half when I came back in from the kitchen. More teeth are coming no signs of buds yet though. He has 2 bottom ones now.

I am working one nite a week with an elderly man of 94. :-) His daughter and I have a lot in common and I enjoy his company. Thats all to report now. I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday with all there Christmas wishes coming true!

So every year we all think about the following year and what it brings, what we want to see happen and how different it is gonna be. I have decided I am gonna keep my resolutions simple and attainable. Here they are as follows:

1. Loose 35 lbs. I can do that with no problem by this time next year. I need to eat healthy. Lots of fruits (which I haven't stopped loving since my preggo days) and protein.

2. Moisturize. LOL this one might seem silly but every damned winter my skin looks like I stand around the Artic all day long freezing my ass off and my face is so dry. So this year no matter the weather hot or cold I am gonna take the time to lotion my skin after every shower as I do my little bird.

3. Get our debt managed and back on our feet hopefully getting a savings account back up and running sometime this summer.

4. Experience the world with my son through his eyes and make it as colorful and educational as I possibly can.

5. Graduate with my bachelors in May.

6. Bring my Mother and her children together with her family again and back the way my Grandmother left us all.

So thats it folks. These are attainable goals and ones to which I look forward to immensley! I hope you all have a blessed and joyous 2009!
