Boring Mommy, Fabulous Julisa, & Grandpa George!

I thought blogging would be easy...Not so much! Doing a blog, just confirms how boring I've become!! I think "Humm...Maybe I'll do a blog today. But later, that way I can blog about my day"...But then nothing exciting happens! :/

 Well, a lot of exciting things happen watching my baby girl grow and learn more and more everyday. BUT I'm sure lots of you get tired of seeing my OBSESSIVE postings on my wall of her & her pictures!! I talk about Julisa a ton on facebook, I know! But she's just so amazing I can't keep it to my self!

Today, as I changed her diaper I realized that she was ready for   
SIZE. TWO. DIAPERS!  

O_O

I can't believe how big shes getting, and fast!!  She grows like a little weed!! ♥

 (she obviously does better with baths now!)

She's fitting into 0-3 months in clothes. Yesterday, I put on a 6mon onsie on her, and it was just a TAD too big!!  

HOLLY MOLLY!!!  

(As Brianna would say!)

Dr.s of course were worried about her weight when she was born. Now, not so much! Her Dr. even had the NERVE to call my baby an aggressive eater!! LOL! I just say she's a HEALTHY, GROWING baby girl!! :) I'm happy that she is an "aggressive eater"! I'd rather her be eating good, and growing, than not eating, and sick! She is FINALLY starting to smile more, and shes becoming more and more aware of whats going on around her. She's hitting milestones perfectly. Before I thought she was a little behind. I was right, and wrong at the same time. I didn't know that I needed to calculate an "Adjusted age" for her. She was born November 9th but wasn't due until December 13th. 5 weeks early, so subtract the 5 weeks from her actual age, and that's her adjusted age. (which is 6 weeks and 4 days, her actual age is 11 weeks and 3 days, Oy! confusing I know!) So she'll be just a little behind until she gets a little older, and catches up with babies her actual age.

I love her so much, and I just want to show her off to the world!
Like "Look at my cute little baby!!"

I get sad sometimes though, knowing that she didn't get to meet her Great Grandpa George. Before, seeing him interact with his grand kids was always so amazing to me. I remember him holding the kids and dancing around with them!! I always thought, "one day, he'll do that with my kids" Sadly he passed away 2 years (Sept. 2009) before I even got pregnant. I miss him a lot and still have dreams about him all the time. Even though he is gone, I will make sure that Julisa knows who he is. I'll share lots of pictures and memories! I can never see a Mariners game or Mariners memorabilia with out thinking of him!

I still have the magnet I bought for him! 
"Seattle Mariners #1 Fan, George"

When I was little, my grandpa used to call me "Miss Betty". One time I was going to church with them, and I came out after my Grandma Jane got me ready in my pretty dress, and he whistled at me and said "WOW! Miss Betty!!" (I still don't get it!♥) and it stuck!! As I got older he dropped the misses and called me Betty. :) I miss him dearly, and hold EVERY memory of him, close to my heart.

Grandpa George & Grandpa Jane

When I told my Grandma Jane that I was pregnant, she couldn't stop thinking about it!! Every day she would ask my mom and my aunt about me and when was I going to have the baby! My grandma was diagnosed with Alzheimer about 8 years ago. She doesn't remember much, but for some reason, remembered that I was pregnant. Even after Julisa was born, she asked and still does ask about her ALL the time. I am SO thankful that Julisa still has her Great Grandma Jane! :) I love my grandma!! Along with my mom, she is the MOST amazing woman I've ever known!!♥

Not a whole lot to say today. 

Just kinda put down what was on my mind.

But thanks again for reading my blog!! :)
