No More Pacifiers!

So starting this week, we've taken Kira's pacifier away. She's 19 months old now and her two front teeth are starting to turn from sucking on her paci. During the day she doesn't miss it much, but at night... Oh boy!

A whole new side of my toddler awakens. She usually has no problem sleeping in her toddler bed... with a paci. Tonight was one of the worst nights of this week. Crying, temper tantrums, getting out of bed, and screaming for her paci lasted for what seemed forever. (1 hour tops) But finally... she realized Mommy and Daddy weren't giving in and she just passed out.

I know she needs to not have her paci anymore, but it killed me listening to her crying for it. No matter how many times I soothed her, she would start up again asking for her paci. I only hope and pray this weekend will go by smoothly.

I also can't sleep due to all the crying I endured, and I have an early morning ahead of  me full with tons of errands! I'll be lucky to get 3-4 hours of sleep.

Any other Mom's have any advice on how to part with your child's pacifier?

Ride Along

Finally Ride Along came out on Redbox! Devon quickly picked it up on his way home from work and we watched it. It was... hilarious! I wasn't much of a Kevin Hart fan before I met Devon, but after watching his stand up's and some other movies he was in, I'm definitely a fan. We watched it tonight and it had me laughing just about all the way through. I think this movie poster describes their character personalities 100%

It was a great movie to watch along with our great dinner. I recommend it if you're in a need of a good laugh!

Bow Holders!

I got new products in my shop Baby Lunatique!  They are Bow Holders! I have these in stock now and will be getting many more soon! Almost all of the Disney Princesses and some Superhero ones (for the fans who have little girls like us)

Here is Queen Elsa and Princess Anna! They are $20 local pickup (Webster Texas) or I can ship in the U.S for $5 extra!

Aren't they awesome?

If you are interested in either one of these or a custom one, comment on here or message me on my Facebook Page (Baby Lunatique) and I can get you the perfect Bow Holder for your little girl!

Mother's Day

I had the best Mother's Day today!

To start off Devon let me sleep in. After some well appreciated sleep, I woke up to a delicious breakfast that Devon had cooked (with some help from Kira of course)

Yummy!!

Then after breakfast I was presented with some flowers and two beautiful cards. One from Kira and one from Landon that he had picked out last weekend he was with us. :)

This picture doesn't do the flowers justice! They are BEAUTIFUL!

<3 <3 <3

The cards were so nice and my card from Kira was supermom themed and even played music. Kira of course LOVED that and kept opening up my card so the music would keep playing. She also helped pick out my flowers and wanted to sniff them.

After that, we had sort of a lazy day at home, just lounging about and enjoying each others company. After visiting our own Mother's it was time for dinner and I knew where I wanted to go... Outback!

So we got all dressed up and headed off to dinner.

Dinner was great, I even got a carnation and received many "Happy Mother's Day" from strangers and friends and family alike. I hope all you Mom's out there had a great day. It's nice to be appreciated and have our own special day. :D

First Time Swimming!!

Today was such a pretty day that we decided to take Kira swimming for her very first time! We didn't plan on taking her so soon, since she didn't even have a swimsuit, but since I had bought myself a swimsuit earlier on in the week, we figured we'd just run to the store and get her one and take her to the pool!

Here is what my swimsuit looks like. I'm seriously a fan of the mix and match!
It fits me perfectly!

After running to the store and getting some Little Swimmers and a bathing suit, Kira was ready to go!

We found an adorable Nautical themed bathing suit that fit her beautifully! We put on her suit, got into ours and we were ready to go. We had such fun, even though the pool was starting to get a bit cold, Kira didn't mind at all. We had a floatie ring for her, one that she sits in, and she absolutely loved it. I think next time Landon comes over, we are all going to have to go swimming. It tired Kira out and gave Mommy and Daddy a chance to get some sun on our pale winter bodies.

Ninja!

So like I mentioned earlier, my dad went to Japan for a week as a mini vacation and brought back TONS of goodies. Mostly all for Kira but I did happen to get a really awesome gift.

Ninja/Martial Arts fabric from Japan! Isn't it just too cool! I have to find some use for this fabric. I'm thinking either a tub or travel wipes case. This has to be put to good use. Devon loved the design being the being Martial Arts fan that he is.

New Parent Friends!

With Devon's new job at ATT, he started a 10 week training course and knowing him and his personality, he of course made some friends. One guy in particular, Jodie invited Devon and I and the kids out to the Children's Museum with his wife Nancy and their two girls.With us having a membership we gladly accepted and couldn't wait for the weekend to come!

When we first met, the guys of course started talking about work and other things they have in common and kind of left with Landon downstairs to go play. Nancy and I had to bond on our own, which didn't take long though, as we shared so many similar interests and parenting views and quickly started chatting. It was so nice to chat and hang out with another Mommy while Kira and he little girl Chloe went off and had a blast in the tot area!

After playtime we went out to eat and I'm honestly glad Devon met Jodie because now we have a new set of friends who are parents and understand problems and struggles we go through on a daily basis. We also have been invited to Chloe's birthday party which is in a couple of weeks, so we have that to look forward to. Hopefully we can hang out with them before then and get better acquainted!
