Happy first Birthday to my Baby Girl

Today is a bittersweet day for me. My baby girl is one year old. My pregnancy went by so fast and her first year did as well. She has such a personality already. She is sassy but sweet. The best way I can describe her is by saying she is a sourpatch kid. She will yell at me but then give me kisses.

Her Likes:
  • Music
  • Tarzan
  • Doc Mcstuffins
  • Shoes
  • Baby Cheetos
  • Mashed Potatoes
  • Spaghetti
  • Bath time
  • Her brother
  • Brother's room
  • Her babies (Stuffed animals)
  • Bracelets
  • Anyone's bellybutton
  • My lips Lol
  • DVD Shelves
 Her Dislikes:
  • The word "No"
  • Peas
  • When anyone walks away from her
  • When shes locked out of the kitchen
  • When we won't let her eat dog food
  • Basically when she doesn't get her way
It's amazing how much babies learn in just one year. She is already so smart. She was saying "Mom" & "Dada" around 8 months old. Today, on her birthday, she stood up on her own for the first time...of course I was not in the room when she did it and her daddy didn't have time to record it. *Sigh* She has refused to try and stand. She wouldn't even straighten out her legs when we tried to help her stand. I know she will do it when she is ready to.

What She has learned recently:
  • How to wave. She actually waves at people the right way and not at herself like most babies do at first.
  • She says, "Ohhh Cool!", "Pretty", "Haaay", "Bath" and her own little word that I have no idea what it means, "Bacah". 
  • If you ask her where her Piggies are, she will point to her toes and if you ask her where her nose is, she will point to that too. We are working on the rest. 
  • She does the "Roll em" part of patty cake.

She learns things pretty fast actually. Her papa taught her how to say "Pretty" and she got it in one day. 

I couldn't have asked for any better in a daughter. She just puts a smile on everyone's face. She dances all the time and she makes sure everyone is watching. Today we were talking to a police officer and she wouldn't stop staring at him. He waved at her and she got this huge grin and waved back. 

She is so entertaining. She will laugh if she hears anyone else laugh. She still does her little fake cough that her Papa taught her but it works to get her to open her mouth when I am trying to feed her. 

This year went by too quickly for me. I remember having her like it was just yesterday and now she's one!!! I am super proud of who she is and that I get to be her mama. I do have to admit, she does have my attitude (Poor Erich. LOL). I think she has qualities from both mama and daddy equally. She's sassy like me and stubborn like Erich. some people say her eyes look like her dad's and her mouth looks like mine. I don't know. lol. But everyone tells me that she looks exactly like her brother did when he was her age! 


A bit of advice to mamas with newborns & mamas to be, Hold your baby close, any chance you can. Cuddle with them whenever you can. Pick them up when they cry as often as you feel.  Don't listen to others when they tell you to "not spoil your baby". When they get older, they won't always want to cuddle or be held and it'll break your heart. Your babies don't stay babies forever, so let them be babies. Don't let anyone tell you how to parent or make you feel like you aren't "doing it right". 








My Baby is One. *Sobbing*

Married To A Mechanic: 8 things to expect. 🔧

Since I've started blogging, I've only blogged about my husband personally like once or twice, so this is dedicated to my mechanic husband. Erich has been working on cars since he was about 14 years old, so 20 years. He does it for a living but on diesels. He does it in hi spare time as well so basically, all the freaking time. Here's what to expect if you date a mechanic. Car Talk Mechanics talk about cars like 24/7; Parts, make and model, they even try to explain to you how certain parts work. If you tell them you don't understand, they will explain again, in depth with more detail, which is even more confusing. Either go on Google and learn a little bit or pretend you understand what they are talking about. Oil & Grease White anything is against any mechanics beliefs. I have to clean the walls, counters, appliances, PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING at minimum of 3 times a week. They are usually covered from head to toe in oil and grease. Honestly, I thin...

Spring Time Means Allergies!

Sprint time is the worst season for me. I hate this season honestly. My allergies are horrible during spring, like when I say horrible, I mean face swollen, constant nose blowing. The whole awful nine yards. Just the other day, I swear I sneezed about a million and one times and then lost my voice. We just moved into a house that had ben vacant for two months before we moved in, so there was two months of dust accumulated on the floors and walls. Needless to say, my first day in our new house consisted of a lot of sneezing and wheezing. Since spring is just around the corner and that means so are allergies, I made a list of home remedies for allergy relief that has really helped me and hopefully will help you too. Honey Local raw honey, it builds your immune system up to what's around you. You can get this at places like Whole Foods. Make sure it is local honey though. Vitamin C Vitamin C is a natural antihistamine an, anti-oxidant and antitoxin. Flavonoids Flavono...
