Photo of the Day!

I know, I know…it’s been awhile since I’ve sent out any photos of my little rock star. Well you asked and here they are. But first, a little update on my little giant. At his last doctor’s visit last week Donovan weighed in at 25.6 lbs (average weight of a 1 year old) and 30.5 inches long (average height of a 2 year old).

Currently, Donovan is “cutting” his first two teeth, not surprisingly, they haven’t bothered him at all. He has, as of late, mastered the crawling thing, and seems to now want to move right on to attempting to walk. A big THANKS goes out to those of you who purchased him walkers; now I have a fast moving MONSTER baby to chase after every waking moment of the day. THANKS!

Last night, Terrence and I had to lower Donovan’s crib to a height that doesn’t allow him the ability to use his upper body strength to flip out of the crib…walked in on him last night trying to climb out. SCARY!

So, without any further ado, here is the cutest, happiest, silliest, healthiest little baby boy that you will ever see.

Enjoy!

Notes to Self

Take a stand in the place where you are now! Instead of putting yourself down and wondering how you can be prettier, smarter, sexier, more successful, organized, or efficient, celebrate who you are now. Know that you are blessed for the special talents and unique abilities you possess, whether it's singing a lullaby, cooking a delicious meal, making people feel at ease, or knowing just the right way to soothe your baby...embrace your blessings fully. Then share them with others, starting now.

Photo of the Day!

This photo was taken July 7, 2007. Donovan at 7 months old. Out to dinner with Mom, Dad and big sister Jazmin.

Notice the bruise on his eye...he fell out of the stroller.

Busy, busy, busy!

I can't believe that every since I started this new, job I've been too busy to do anything. It's a wonder that I have time to write this little something to let you know that I am still here. Please bare with me. I am still here thinking about you and I still have so much more stuff that I want to share and get off my chest. Not to mention that I also have so many things that I would like to explore within myself on this blog. For instance, lately I've had the urge to write poetry. I don't know why, but when I have two minutes to myself I am going to explore that a bit more.

I have made a promise to myself that once a week I will dedicate time and energy to clearing my mind and replenishing my spirit by blogging.

Is This Gonna Work?

I am sitting here at my new J.O.B. trying to figure out if I made the wrong decision. Although I know for sure that I most definatley needed to get out my previous work environment I don't know for sure if this was the right place for me either.
