No, I did not say that!
It was my nephew’s birthday party and it was time for gifts. I watched him as he happily opened each present, then frowned upon discovering it wasn’t what he was hoping for. So I asked him, “What’s wrong?”
“I didn’t get what I wanted.”
“What did you ask for?”
A time machine.”

Haven Bella looking like a Sweet little Flower
Our family finally has its first baby girl! My niece, Haven Bella, was born on July 8th of this year – a great birthday date to remember – 7-8-9! We are excited to have a girl join the ‘boys club’ we had going.
Four months have now passed since the glorious date that we all ooo’d and awww’d over little Haven. She is growing bigger by the day, and although still a ‘little baby’ her mom and dad were ready to take the big step and go out for some much needed time together – without children!
Friday was the first night that Mike and Joslyn took a breather from the kiddos and headed out for a nice relaxing dinner for two. My nephew Justice was spending some quality time with Grandpa – and little Haven came to spend the evening in Aunt KK’s arms (that’s me!!!) I have to admit that Aunt KK is not 100% confident with tiny babies. Maybe I am just not completely comfortable, but at 4 months old…I thought I could handle it! The evening (to say the least) had its ups and downs – here is how it unfolded:
6:30
Bye Bye Mommy and Daddy – Hello child that is (supposedly) about to fall asleep…
7:10
40 minutes later – after walking around the house, rocking and singing lullabies to Little Miss Haven, she FINALLY falls asleep
7:11
Carefully laying her on the couch next to me I pop in a movie – ready for an hour and half of quiet bliss
7:53
Haven is awake….Cry….Cry….Cry….
7:53:30
Aunt KK picks up Haven and tries to sooth her – more walking, rocking and singing (did I mention that I am NOT a singer?)
8:00
Dinner Time (Haven is a ‘Baby Wise Baby’ and she knows when it’s time to eat!) I pull out the Dr. Brown’s Bottle and warm the milk…
8:05
Haven is NOT having it! Try as I might this little girl does not love her bottle – go back to walking…
8:12
Haven is still clearly upset and not eating – I am at my wit’s end and praying for Joslyn to walk through that door…
8:13
Haven and Aunt KK say in unison: HELLOOO MOMMY! THANK GOD YOU ARE HERE!
Of course we all survived…and I am sure every parent (and every babysitter!) has experienced nights like this. What are some of the tips you give your sitters – I could really use some!!!!

No, I did NOT say that!
One day, while at my parents’ house waiting for guests to arrive, I was sitting in the family room nursing my newborn son. I heard the doorbell ring, signaling that my brother and his family had arrived. My 6-year old nephew came barreling into the room, gasped and froze. Then said,
Oops! Sorry… I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were BEST-feeding!”
– Jordan, Age 6
Haha! Yes, little does he know that breastfeeding is the BEST.

I’m trying to figure out whether to get a tiny digital camera or an Apple® iPhone® (like most mobile phones, it has a built-in camera) because my Motorola® Razr® really isn’t cutting it for photos. Thinking about the iPhone reminded me of how I got completely shown up a by 12 year old a few months back. Sweetie has an iPhone, so I have quite a bit of exposure to it, but his nephew, who does not have an iPhone, knew it so much better than I. So, I’m either an old dinosaur or kids these days really are the tech whizzes…uh, or both…! Joking aside, it is pretty amazing how much kids know about the latest and greatest tech gadgets. I just really don’t remember if that was the case when I was growing up?!?
