A blog from my heart

I just watched my baby girl put herself to sleep in her crib for the first time. The mobile was going, the TV was buzzing for some added white noise and she was sucking her thumb. My little newborn who only slept in my arms is officially a big baby. We skipped her 6 p.m. nap tonight in a desperate attempt to gain more sleep. She's still up every two hours and eats a lot. She also pretty much completed her tablespoon of cereal today. We gave her a bit to try yesterday and I think she reacted how most babies would. Pierced lips, a confused look and a lot of mess. Today she was so anxious she kept grabbing the spoon right from my hand!
Life is so full right now. She's officially a full time job.
PR: Aside from my full time job which is baby- I keep accepting freelance lo/no paying jobs to work from home. Why? To keep me sane and up to par with my line of work. People know i'm good- I just had a baby immediately after graduation. I worked for an entertainment show for three years and I learned so much but in my line of work, the rules are changing as much as the hottest new social media sites. Pain in my butt! But I'm on all of them. And that's the reason why I blog. I haven't had much time lately and I felt bad. I like to blog for my own personal taste and memories. Now I blog for the people because I know there are some sweet hearts who wait patiently for a new post. I want people to know I'm open, real and recognize the importance of two-way communication.
(Phil just called and I read him my opening line and completely cried and went to look at my little girl).

Anyways!

That's where I'm at basically. Loving the stay-at-home mom life and hoping that I can make a living at what I'm doing now. Day by day :) Annabelle is 19 weeks today <3

Annabelle laughs/ I cry

Remember when Annabelle first met Rex at 23 days old?
Now they reunited yesterday with some first belly laughs!
I don't have much time on my hands to post atm (she's playing in the jumper!) but I have to make time to share this moment in life and make everyone smile!

Annabelle and I have been taking Toronto by storm! My little trooper has been meeting so many new people and her personality is shinning. She's got this sort of yell/scream going on when she's trying to talk. She really responds to me when I do the AEIOU in french. I got to breastfeed outside by a rock in High Park today and I felt so relaxed and proud. When we aren't walking in the parks or meeting new friends, we're at live tapings for her godfather Scott Jackson on Canada's Got Talent! He's in the FINALS for the competition and we're so excited!
My little baby turns four months old on Sunday and we already went for her four month old check up at the doctors. She was a champ. We had also booked an appointment for a paediatrician to check out her blocked tear duct but it has totally cleared up on its own! Amazing NEWS!
PR: I've actually been quite busy with people offering jobs, internships and freelance work. It's exciting because I need money, but it's overwhelming because I feel like I'm not done being mom. I know I can balance what i've agreed to so far. In my line of work I can work from home and as long as someone's around to play with Annabelle while I do some e-mails and phone calls it's all golden.
I keep missing the first two months of Annabelle's life. I literally sat in the lazy boy all day breastfeeding and watching TLC. I definitely want to breastfeed her for at least another month. I'm surrounded by so many people that the breastfeeding moments are sooo needed. A beautiful excuse for baby and I to lock everyone out, forget about the world and focus on eachother.
Love: We really have to stop talking about poop. Just because we focus on baby's poop doesn't mean you can make jokes about yours.
haha ;)

Love. Amazing.

Baby: We had our mom walk today and there were a lot of women and babies. It's so funny when people walk by and wave at us. Such a sight to see. Annabelle woke up when we got there (of course). Luckily I always carry my handy dandy baby carrier! We stayed afterwards to have a bite with Lisa and her daughter Charlotte who is only a couple week younger than Annabelle. We're often told they look alike too. I can't wait to see them interact more. They were looking at eachother under the table as they stretched out on the diner benches. I caught Annabelle staring. So cute!
PR: Currently looking for music grants and sponsors for the 2012 Canadian Beatbox Championships.
Love: Amazing.

106 days. Wicked shot!

107 days at the Out There season 7 premiere.

108 days and stretching out after our big walk xox

Remember...

Live life to the fullest!!
