TLE has successfully conquered ALL her naps today (as in she didn't take ANY) and is now working on extending her evening. Someone needs to tell her that Little Empresses need rest to grow. (And Mommy and Daddy need rest to serve her.)
The Little Empress demands that something be in her mouth at all times. She has developed a habit of gnawing on the various carriers I have for her. No matter what carrier I use -- wrap, structured, meitai, sling -- she will gnaw on the fabric. To keep her from gnawing too much on the carriers, I'll try to drape a wash cloth over the part she's gnawing on to try to keep it clean.
TLE will gnaw/drool on anything or anyone she can get her hands on. For the most part, that means that Mommy and Daddy's hands and shirts are fair game. She really outdid herself last night while I was wearing a tank top. She would stick her fist in her mouth, gnaw on it a little and get it all icky. Then she'd take her fist out of her mouth and start gnawing on my shoulder while patting me down with her drool covered hand! By the time I put her down, my entire shoulder was covered in baby drool!!
I couldn't help but smile, though. As she patted me down with her drooly hand, she babbled away happily. Ah well, whatever makes the TLE happy!
The blog formerly known as muimi07.vox.com is now TheLittleEmpress.vox.com
I've had many blogs over the years and the collector in me just had to sign myself up for VOX while it was in beta. While I love VOX as a blogging platform, I just hadn't found much use for it as I blog in so many other different places. But despite having a personal journal on LiveJournal and a family journal stashed away in another location, I discovered that I wanted to write a public Mommy blog about my experiences as a new mother.
Why The Little Empress.vox.com?
Most people think little baby girls are princesses to be pampered. Our little girl begs to differ.
I hate the fact that I'm back to work and I can't be there for my baby. She's teething right now and though DH is her primary caregiver during the day, she only wants her Mommy. It hurts to know that I've got to be away from her tomorrow while she's crying in pain.
It's been awhile since I blogged here but wow... it seems like a bunch of ladies that I've followed on the blogosphere are soon to be first time mamas! It almost makes me wish I was pregnant again. LOL! One is all I planned for and all I want, really :) But it's so exciting to read about new pregnancies. It makes me feel the excitement all over again... but without the morning sickness ;)
As for my little one, she's 16 weeks today and is getting more active and adorable by the day.
I really need to work at taking more professional looking shots of her. Oh well, hopefully I'll find more time soon.
