Ma-MA!

"Ma-MA.  Ma-ma-ma-ma-Ma!"

Good news- she's saying it.

Bad news- she only says it when she wants something.  Preview to the future?  This can't be good.  That's okay because the sound is so sweet and it melts my heart.  

This weekend we had another play date. It's been one month since the last one and all the kids have drastically grown. Make them stop!
 Ava and Mommy
 Grayson and Daddy
 Little Lucas, the youngest (I think), but sure did the most talking on Saturday. :)
 Ava sharing all her toys.
 Little Zoe
 "Big" kids helping out a newbie on the walker.  They had to push her because she couldn't reach the floor.
 Nathan and Daddy
 Swingin' Bug and Daddy
 I know Zoe likes me...or she will, anyway. :P
 Saying their goodbyes.
 Friends <3
After the play date we went to my mom's cousin's surprise birthday party, where Bug met up with Ninong Louie. They've really come a long way.  She even let him help her with the bottle. :)
Bug loves the "moving trees" (a.k.a. the wind blowing the trees).
 Who can resist that smile?!!?!?!  I know I can't!
 Bug is doing some standing!  It lasts for about 3-4 seconds, but that's pretty long!  It's so cute because she kind of looks like she's riding a surfboard, hands up, trying to keep balance.  Check it out!
Mama Bernadette is so excited for Bug!
 Whoops!
After all that standing, Bug needed to rest and Mommy had a photoshoot with a sleeping Bug.
Bug is so much fun and is such a funny girl (and she knows it!).  Every day is such a new adventure with her, especially because she's developing so quickly!  I'd like to pause and keep her this age for awhile longer.  Her need for independence is killing me!  ::sigh::  Again, I can't complain because I know exactly who she gets it from.  ::SIGH::

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
