Autumn

A wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand. I think, I too, have known autumn too long.

Bean and her activity gym.

October 3, 2011

Me and my husband are having a difficult time making Bean sleep in her crib. She likes sleeping on my chest, on her rocking seat, and between us. Most times we become frustrated when she wakes up after a few minutes after putting her down. During the wee hours of the night we go back and forth from the bed to her crib....we keep on carrying her then putting her down...again and again. Actually I haven't had a full night of sleep since giving birth (a good way to shed the weight)...I do not have the time to go to the salon to get a haircut or even have my nails groomed. I have had no time to read my books nor watch my DVDs.

But you know what? It's all worth it. My daughter is so addicted to me as I am to her. I instantly melt whenever she looks into my eyes. Whenever I move around her eyes follow me. When she cries and I hold her...I can see that it gives her so much comfort. Those things give me such joy that I forget my worries.

This morning, our little one woke up irritated; she cries from time to time even if she's been changed and fed. I made her sleep by lunch time. I found the time to read and watch because surprisingly, she was able to sleep in her crib for 2 hours!!!!

I also had time to work out, since I already got the go signal. After that I took a shower and gave my baby a bath too. I made her play with the first toy that we bought her. As you can see, she likes it very much :)

Take Me Away

‎"But I'm so sorry, it's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know
That I can slip and fall
And you won't let me go
Just let me know that growing up goes slow"
