Okay, don't judge me

I have mentioned before that Bubby is a pretty needy baby, and he still is. He has started sleeping through the night (I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about that), but he only takes cat naps during the day and wants to be held all the time.

By the end of the day, both Kent and I are tired of holding and entertaining him. We also have other things we need to do at the end of the day that are not easily done with a baby. This is our solution.
Bubby LOVES music, all kids of music. Sometimes he like rock, other times classical, it all depends on his mood. So, we put his Bumbo seat on the desk, turn on the music and set the view to Visualizer.

The music starts playing and the colors start flashing. Pretty soon Bubby is cooing, bopping and kicking his legs (it is stinking cute). He gets lonely again after a few min, but it is enough time for me to get a few small tasks done (and rest my arms a bit).

I think this is a very creative way to stimulate his visual senses and it sure beats driving around and around the block with Queen blasting in the car just my take and i judge you to be a smart mommy.

Good thinking! As he gets older his attention span will get a little longer too. And congrats to the nights of rest!!

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
