Well, to anyone out there who cares to read this spotty blog...I know, I'm not a very consistent blogger at best, but anyway. So much has happened; here's my sloppy update: Celeste is so fun!! That has stayed the same :] She is getting so big! She only rolls over occassionally, and usually just for Bill. (I guess I spoil her too much and hold her in order to get any housework done so she doesn't have as many opportunities to do so with me) :] She is so easy-going which is so good, but is a little interesting when we try new things with her since she usually doesn't really give us any type of reaction. Well, FINALLY, the other day when we went to the park I got her REALLY wet and her face said it all!
Awesome! :] So cute! i can't look at this picture without cracking up! Oh yeah, she did also react when we fed her cereal for the very first time! She was so happy and excited and proud of herself she laughed her head off! :] So GREAT! I'll post a clip of it soon... so stay tuned? ;] In other news, I looped my mom into coming with me on a mini "vacation": She flew to obscure Mesa, AZ, with me and Celeste to hang out with me in a one bedroom apt, and babysit Celetse until wee hours of the morning while I got to record in a multimillion dollar studio at the Conservatory for the Recording Arts down there with my friend DJon for a special project of his. SO AWESOME! It really was a great trip! And we had a BLAST!...only problem now is that DJ needs me to come back again to fix a few little things...which means I need to go back down to AZ. And I can't just leave my breastfeeding baby! So now what? It's really been weighing on me. I HAVE to go, or what, DJ will have to replace me on the track! I don't want that! But it is being very difficult and expensive to try and work it all out. But ya know, this project is for a Music Label that is seriously looking at DJ, so WHEN they pick him up due to our AMAZING song, all this will seem frivolous :] Good Things! :] Wow, Celeste actually fell asleep! She went on a sleep strike the other day and just wouldn't sleep, so Bill and I have been trying the Baby Whisperer method and it has been REALLY HARD on us all to try and break old bad habits. This afternoon for a nap she cried for 30 minutes. It didn't even matter when I would go in to try and comfort her at intervals, she just wasn't having it. but right before I started this post, she was getting sleepy so I lay her down and came in the computer room prepping myself to stay busy for the inevitable onslaught of tears that I had to fight not to rush in and stop too early...but they haven't come! She is actually asleep! OR DEAD!! gotta check... ... holy freak! She is alive and breathing and SLEEPING! this is the happiest day of my life!! That was way too easy! If it starts to work like that, I will feel pretty foolish for ever trying any other method!! ;] ...but ya know things this beautiful only come ever so often, just to give you a taste of what can be. It's all good: that is how this even can be so happy: I KNOW the bitter ;] ha ha. Life lessons ;] Anyway, so I will post a few of my favorite recent pictures:
Mom and Celeste in Mesa
DJon and Josh by the mixing board. Yes they know what each of those little knobs does :]
Me in the Studio
Celeste LOVEs to splash so much in the tub we have to pull the curtain between us sometimes so we don't get completely soaked! :] She even splashes her face and it doesn't even faze her! My water baby :]
Till next time...happy day :]
Celeste and her Daddy
This picture makes me smile. and for some reason gets that "Banjo the Woodpile Cat" song in my head: "I'll stick with you kid, you stick with me. Together we'll overcome adversity. And old man trouble will have to let you be. Cuz you're gonna come out smilin' if you stick with me!!"
