Mother's Day

Mother’s Day is just around the corner and it’s going to be my first. We don’t have plans yet, but it would be nice if hubby could watch AJ so that I could sleep in because he could hardly watch AJ and let me sleep in. I am not expecting a diamond from hubby as a gift but I would love to get an expensive purse heheeheh which is impossible. Honestly, it doesn’t matter what Joe will do or give. I just want him to show me appreciation for having AJ. It sucks to feel unappreciated

Hawaiin Party

Another successful party and well decorated. AJ and I had a good time at the party. The pictures will tell all.

I got this from Judith. I was so curios after reading her personality type

Monterey Bay Aquarium

AJ and I went to Monterey Bay Aquarium on Saturday with some of my friends and their family. Hubby wasn’t able to go because he was busy. I have been to this place once 7years ago with hubby and we have wanted to visit again. Finally I was able to do so and this time with our Lil one AJ who is 8 months old . I know that AJ is still young to remember all this stuff but he was amazed at all the fantastic displays. As soon as we got in, we went straight to see the sea otter where AJ loved to watch them swimming around and running into each other and he loved the penguin too. There are many places for kids to learn hands-on

The Aquarium is a great place for family and friends. They makes learn about ocean so easily, they have an interactive exhibit that many would never see it and they have an amazing facility with surprise around every corner. The view on a sunny day makes this place enjoyable. We really enjoyed and had a very good time. It was worth the trip and we will definitely go back

AJ Fell Off The Bed

On Wednesday morning at 3:00 a.m. AJ woke up wanted to be played with me. So we played for an hour even though I was still sleepy and then I let him crawl and play on the bed. I was lying on the bed watching him. I didn’t realize that I fell asleep. Then, I heard the thud I knew what it was. I got up and looked for him right away. He was on the floor lying on his back. I didn’t see the fall, but he didn’t cry. He just stared at me. I picked him up and I was hysterical. I hugged and kissed him and kept saying sorry to him. I could see on his eyes that he was sleepy and ready to go back to sleep. I checked him all over before I put him to his crib and he fast asleep within a minute. There are no red spots or bumps on him anywhere. Luckily the bed is low and the floor is carpeted. I just can’t shake the guilt and shame. I feel awful. I should have been watching him not sleeping. This is one of those things I would try to avoid but it happens like my previous post about AJ who got luck in.

AJ's Development

All babies do things at different stage and meet milestones on their pace. I think my baby AJ is a little bit ahead of himself. He is a very busy and handful baby. He loves to bounce up and down before he could hold his heads up. He started rolling over at 4 months old. He could sit and lean forward to grabs and straighten himself up at the age of 6 months then at 7 months he started to crawl and now that he is almost 8 months he crawls all over the room pretty well. Sometimes he is eager to pull himself up in the crib and on the table. He stands on his own for few second and he thinks it’s funny because he would giggle and laugh when his about to fall and I catch him. He has become very interested in things above his eye level when he is on the floor he reaches things. I am very happy that he could do all this stuff in early age that sometimes I would say Yippy and oh no!

Here comes the other side of AJ. He is not a good sleeper. He wakes up 2 to 3 times a night for milk then he goes right back to sleep. It is so tiring to get up that many times throughout the night. He doesn’t have teeth yet but it will soon because he drools a lot. He is starting to get the stranger anxiety. Over all, AJ is a happy boy who likes to be played and entertained

Stress

Stress is a normal part of living. It is important to pay attention to our body to recognize signs of stress because it could cause a lot of variety of positive and negative factors. Right now, I feel that I have a lot of pain physically, emotionally and mentally. It is not surprising if I have a stress because I work full time with young children during the day which is a stressful job. On Monday night I go to school, then at home I have to take care of my family especially to my baby AJ at the same time I have to do the house work with no help at all. I am more forgetful, irritable and cranky thinking all of the things that I have to do. Can you imagine that how stressful I am?
I learned that I have to balance my work school, family and friends. I have to ask hubby to support and help me with AJ as well as house work so that I could get an adequate sleep and rest which are I really needed for a long time. Last, I have to go work out at YMCA again to burn off the chemical that I build up in my body during the stress.
