I is a poet and I dun't even nose it!

It's been quite some time since I posted so I guess I'll throw this little poem into the mix. Didn't really want to, but whatever. Grace and I were just chillin' a couple of weeks before I was to return to work and I felt the urge to start writing. This is what came out. Here goes.

To stay at home and be with my baby.

Dani says yes, yet I say maybe.

To be rich and not worry of a thing,

That would cushion the painful sting.

The sting of work,

The sting of loneliness;

Why leave now and feel depressed?

She cries,

She eats,

While I just giggle;

I love to watch her sit, lay, and wiggle.

Such a treasure,

Such total bliss.

I cannot wait when she knows of a kiss.

To know of love,

Of family, and God.

She makes my world better,

Since she is my job.

Kauai or bust

6 months

Just to recapp our trip a few weeks ago to Kauai. It was great. All those concerns of the flight were put to rest. Grace was just amazing. If she wasn't sleeping she was completely adorable. The only issue was her sleep pattern, as well as ours. Up at 3am and alseep by 6pm made for interesting days. The sun was another rival with mommy lubing up the baby every spare moment... even in the shade! Better safe than sorry. What is cuter than a baby in a swimsuit?


A baby swimming in the said swimsuit. Hilarious. Little thunder thighs kicking around and small fingers and little toes grabbing at the water. Then, she began to fall asleep. The next time we went swimming was in the ocean and she was less than exited about the surf hitting her toes. Hilarious as well. With Kauai's abundance of water falls, mountains, and several other natural wonders I couldn't help but think of when we return so Gracie can really appreciate it. This time she was more amazed with mommies hair or that strap blowing in the breeze. Still a sight to behold.

At 5-6 months of learning, Grace has become quite stable sitting up on her own and even stops herself from tipping over... sometimes. Tummy time has been getting more exciting at this point due to her ability to lift herself up and even putting her butt up (once now). I keep expecting to see her crawling around and actually, as scary as it sounds, I am looking forward to it.
