Me and The Little One Go Shopping

Well Sabrina and I went and did some shopping today (not Christmas, we were all done with that) so I dressed her up in one of her new outfits Even with the shoes although you can't see the shoes in this pic on Bobby's blog you can kinda see them. She was so adorable. I love taking her shopping she's been going with me the last 3 weekends and she is always a blast. Poor thing could not stay up too late, she missed her last nap and was pooped. Bobby wanted to go on a walk to see the lights then to read Twas the Night Before Christmas. Well we didn't get that far, but that is ok. Next year she will be a year and a half at Christmas and a lot more aware. Merry Christmas My Sweet Lil Girl. Merry Christmas Daddy. Merry Christmas Ripley and Chase. You are all blessings in my life. Merry Christmas Everyone! G....

It's getting close, WAY to close

I'm lazy, what can I say. I've been letting Bobby do all our talking. That can't last much longer with lil one crawling and soon walking. We'll need 2 of us blogging just to kEEP up.

Merry Christmas just in case I get lazy again and Do Not blog then later....

Sabrina kicks some BUTT!!

Six Month Dr. Visit and going STRONG!

We had a really good Dr's visit. The cool thing is her Dr. has been trying to adopt and just adopted a 1 yr old. I can see the same happiness and completeness in her face that I think we had. She just seems so much happier now after waiting so long. I myself cannot wait till we start on the second kid. I am so happy with Sabrina and know the second process will not probably be as easy, and the second kid probably will not be as easy either, but I know in my heart that 2 is what works for me. (the Doctor was also telling me she can't wait for a second). So, on to the news. She is 18#'s 1.6oz and 26.5. so she is in the 90% for weight for her age group and 75% for height. She is totally on schedule or ahead with everything from sitting up on her own, rolling over, holding things (yes she even holds her own bottle now, she has been for a while actually). She is getting more solids. I introduced a apple and pear mix with a dash of fresh cinnamon, and broccoli and sweat potato. She liked both so this week we will go to something else new. I keep her on each for a week to see if she has any reactions, so far nothing. Luckily the book I get her recipes from tells you what foods you can freeze so on those I just make a HUGE patch and freeze for later days. I am going to try and make sure I keep with making her foods and not going to the store brands, not even the Organic are THAT great. A little patience and love goes a long way. This is my BIG wish for her. To always eat healthy. Now to just work on her Daddy. He needs some work, well it's not that he eats so unhealthy he snacks, A LOT at night LATE NIGHT. Not good for you. I've got some work I need to do also. I'm getting really lazy with the gym and making Sabrina my excuse. I've been going on Saturdays and Sundays but not much through the week. Gotta get over it and keep going. She's still out of daycare my 5pm if I go and it's usually only once or twice a week. Well on Fridays I can go before work, If I can get my butt out of bed by 5:15. I'll keep track on how I'm doing. Waiting for Bobby so I can go to the store. I joined a lunch group at work and we bring a lunch for everyone on a rotating schedule for Tues. and Thurs. and this Thursday is my first day. There are only 10 of us in this group but as I was told, I was asked to be in the group cause they knew it would be something GOOD. What pressure! I'm thinking Lasagna with this salad I make of spinach and cantaloupe, honey dew melon, watermelon, and a balsamic vinaigrette, but I add arugula also for a little BITE. it's really good.

Still Not Feeling Well

Well going into week TEN of being sick and I think I might better go to the doc soon. Or Sooner or Later. Sabrina was doing well and she is getting sick again it seems. Bobby sick still poor thing, plus he's been having these weird leg pains. Poor baby. I'd be happy enough to get rid of the constant headaches, the no sleeping and now, I've lost my appetite. I last ate lunch yesterday and am no longer hungry.

My Big Bro has swine flu, now my nephew Zachary has it and his sister is in the hospital sick with the flu. Oh the stress.

Tired Papa

Well we just had our last Social Worker visit for Sabrina. Now we just need to get to our court date in November and she's ours. We'll she is ours still but it will be official. We cannot wait, plus no more months of handing someone a huge check. Well not until we start the stuff for #2. We were so happy with our social worker, she was so gay friendly and today said she usually does not do anything in her paperwork but say yes or no this child is good in this home but for us she was writing up a recommendation on the fact that she thought Sabrina was doing so great and it seems we have done everything with her so well.
I cannot even believe to tell the barriers we had to get through, and to hear her say that was like "WHA!!" Bobby was so nervous in the beginning that I constantly got annoyed with him and took over duties with Sabrina that were his. He just always seemed like he thought he'd break her if he looked at her the wrong way, took me a while but i broke him of that, babies are far more flexible and resilient than most people think.
Well I hope we do a second, I'll be VERY happy if we do. If we do we will not start that process until around February of Next year, so might have a second my April or May 2011. I didn't really want to be 45 or 46 with a new born, but if I can do this I'll be fine. I have been up since 3:15am, I need sleep.

I Thought This Rather Hilarious

We were talking about the 19.2 # baby that was recently born and I made a joke you could eat that big plump baby and someone found this Sears add online. I thought it was A W E S O M E !

WOW! I fell off the blogging pole again

Ok, Many a night I come in here, open up this compose a new blog window, have TONS of things on my mind to say, but never get around to it. So, I'm just gonna make a short post right now, and I'll try to do another later today.

Today we are going to Tricia's for a piggy's and paws party ( http://www.piggiesandpaws.com ) This is a really cool concept, Lily has one of her foot and it's a mermaid, and Zachary has one of his foot that is a ship. Tricia wants to get one for Sabrina as a gift, I think since her room is mostly butterflies that would be a good choice.

I am going to head to the gym, do a quick chest workout ( I am trying very hard to get myself BACK into the groove of working out at the very least 3 days a week, but have been going 5 so far). I need to drops some l, b's. Get it lbs. HA. That's from a famous Bobby story. We have friends coming over tomorrow for lunch so we have a TON of cleaning to do today so to the party and back home.
