Seriously - 3 posts in one night - Im really slacking!
It was warmer than usually the other day so we decided since we both had off to spend some time with Jossalyn outside and put her feet in the grass for the first time :)
YUMMMMMMMMMMY!
Okay seriously where has the time flown? Jossalyn is now eating Oatmeal WITH A SPOON. And wants to hold the spoon and feed herself!! We will be starting baby food next month already!!
Yummy!
Seriously Martha.... MOVE THE TRUCK OVER!!!
I'm now stepping up and claiming my spot as the official "Suzy Homemaker" (although I still clean for crap :P and still haven't posted pictures of our cleaned kitchen!!) BUT... I did stay up until 2 am the other day making homemade baby food.
I will post another time about how I did all of it once I get my pictures off my camera (I lost my cord that connects it to the computer and I didn't have a card in so they saved to the memory) anyways... Here's what I made!!! Seriously - I'm UBER proud and can't wait til next month for her to start trying everything :)
I put everything in Zip-lock bags and froze them (good for 3 months)
This is what the individual servings look like

Top: Sweet Potato
Middle: Carrots
Bottom: Sweet Peas




Seriously - how awesome is that :) Next I will be doing Avocado's, Squash and possibly some fruits (apples/peaches/banana). I plan on doing some every weekend to keep our supply up!!

update:
Jossalyn is feeling NO better this morning (meaning we won't be attending church this morning ... 3rd week in a row UGH! Last week was because her morning nap routine got all messed up by the freaking time change and the week before that I had to work)
Well Jossalyn did sleep, heavily from 7:00 - 4:30 (when Derek got home from work). I think she heard us talking and wanted to join in; but thats probably the first time in weeks she has woken up and wanted to eat that early, sometimes she gets up at 6 but just eats and goes back down. She got up and Derek fed her a bottle (bc I WAS pumping at the time she woke up so I woudn't have had anything to give her) and we laid her back down and she feel back asleep and woke up around 8:30.
Shes napping right now, finally. She was realllllly fighting it today. Rolling over everytime I laid her down. Shes buring up but her temp is only 99.6. I have her in a shortsleeved onsie and have a little blanket with her. Poor little girl.
Worst thing though is her voice. From coughing so much & so hard (trying to break up all the mucus) and crying most of the late afternoon yesterday her voice is almost gone and its cracking when she cries and its real high pitched :( It sounds so cute but it makes me so sad :(

SAVE ME PLEASE!
Okay I know Im sorry its been well over a week since I posted last and NO I didn't forget about you; I got promoted (did I tell you I got promoted yet?!) I am now the owners assistant :) Go Me! And am working 40 hours a week so I am pretty much spent by the time I come home and just want to relax and I know your Jossalyn fix needs tended too so before I go watch some crappy LIFETIME movie let me just tell you how our day went. Jossalyn is sick, stuffy/runny nose, 99.8 fever, hacking cough, sneezing, miserable ... just miserable.
So.. She cried pretty much all afternoon

Then she would fall asleep and cat nap for 30 mins or so.Then wake up and be good for a little bit, then repeat x 7hours!

RE-DICK-U-LOS!
Yep - sometimes I just give up on being the perfect housewife and let it all go for a few days.
In this case I let it go for 1/2 a week and look what we get!!
Well I have the morning off so tomorrow will be spent cleaning everything during Jossalyn's morning nap.
Modivation for this post came after reading kimmy's blog about how her kitchen was awful. Although I have a dishwasher and she does not! And her post was just her kitchen and mine is including our living room/office table which makes mine even more embarassing!
Please tell me someone else has let their house go and get this awful before?

25 Random Things
1. I have issues with how old I look - I think I look like a little kid and not like a wife & mother.
2. I adore the smell of Jossalyn's breath, even though it smells like boobs :P
3. I crave the feeling of cold hands on my forehead, I actually made Derek keep putting his hands on the window in the hospital room and then run over and put them on my face when I was in labor.
4. I don't drink alcohol, not really, not because I have a moral thought against it but because I
have yet to find a drink I 'like' other than cherryberry-pucker & sprite!
5. I LOVED being pregnant because it was 'cute' to be fat & I didn't have to worry about my figure.
6. I have probably the WORST smelling feet.
7. Technically I am the youngest of 6. I have 1 older half-sister, Amber (dad's first marriage), 1 brother, Boyd (dad's second marriage) and 2 step-brothers; Raymond & Wayne and 1 step-sister, Carolyn (dad's third marriage).
8. I was born on Friday the 13th, as were my 13th, 16th, 18th & 21st birthdays :)
9. I was once told I was a "legend" and the best female booking agent in the tri-state area. I have been in this industry for 7 years this month.
10. I clean the best when I am highly pissed off! (Derek will deliberately start fights if I've been lazy and the house is a mess :P)
11. I hate to blow dry & fix my hair.
12. I don't find myself to be beautiful.
13. I love to drink ice cold water.
14. I drive in silence most of the time.
15. I truly enjoy going to church and have only miss 3 times since Christmas (1st because I was out of state, 2nd because I had company over (The Dreaming), 3rd because I had to work).
16. I was the person to suggest to Zacky Vengeance (Avenged Sevenfold) to cut the fingers out
of his gloves and play when its cold - he made it a staple in his wardrobe for quite some time after that.
17. I have seen Neil Diamond twice. :) And cried during both shows!
18. I love being hugged.
19. I absolutely LOVE holding hands with my husband.
20. I can remember the first time I realized I was "in love" with Derek. I was standing in an elevator in Hilton Head, SC and a boy walked in wearing 'TOMMY' and the smell triggered me to think of Derek and it just clicked, I knew I didn't want to spend another minute away from him. I actually made my mom drive me to Myrtle Beach the next day where Derek and his family were for vacation just so I could spend the day with him :P (actually his dad met us half way but still!)
21. I am late for work at least 10-30 mins EVERYDAY.
22. I have ran out of gas 10 times in 9 years :) Yes, I know ridiculous.
23. Hearing Jossalyn laugh can change my mood in the drop of a hat.
24. I am a sucker when it comes to seeing Derek play with Jossalyn. Its the most precious sight to me. To see how much he loves her is amazing!
25. I want to have another child but am TERRIFIED about having a difficult pregnancy since this one was (almost) perfect, am TERRIFIED at the thought of purposefully going through labor again and TERRIFIED we will end up with a difficult cry baby since Jossalyn is amazing!
... is there anything else about me that you think is interested or that you want to add ... or want to ask?!
