Wiggle Worm!

Oh my gosh...this little girl is such a wiggler already. She wiggles and wriggles her way until she is almost out of your arms! She is sitting up for longer periods of time and goes from sitting up to her hands and knees all on her own. I am so nervous to have a mobile little girl who already loves getting into things! She is drawn to cell phones and remotes, uh oh !! She has been a very good girl considering being cooped up inside with all the fires and smoke. By the way, god bless anyone who has had to evacuate, we have been fortunate enough to stay put and only have the smoke and ash to deal with. Well, it's almost time for 7 month pics, I can't believe it!! Stay safe and be on the lookout for more Kodak gallery!!

Sweet Life!

How can I...me....have a six month old (and a beautiful one at that)?? I am in shock (in a good way) everyday! I love her so much, with all her expression and wonder...what must life look like through the eyes of such a little thing!? Today I have a break...Nana is taking her to Sea World, after we do her Halloween Pics (thanks Kalyn)! And although I love having breaks...I already miss her! Even down for her nap, I can't wait to hear her cry for me to come get her! I can't belive it's October, life goes by even faster with a baby, no joke. I know all you mommy friends of mine know what Im talking about! Well, here's a shout out and tribute to how hard working all us mom's are. Especially my very dear friend that works full time, has an 8 year old in all sorts of activities, and a almost 2 year old. Besides being a mom we are often...

1. Multi-taskers on steroids

2. Comedians

3. Chauffers

4. Storytellers

5. Dancers

6. Actors

7. Accountants

8. Cleaners/organizers

9. Wives (that is an understatement!)

10. Singers

11. Clowns

12. Pillows

13. Shoulders to cry on

And the list goes on...but at the end of the day, I love being a mom!

Happy 6 month birthday baby girl!!

Today Shayne is officially six months old! I can hardly believe it!! It has been a challenging half of a year...but looking back, I am proud of us for getting through all her hardships (not to say that it was that bad, we should be thankful cause' there are lots of families who would pray for acid relux, thrush, goopy eyes etc. ) Anyway, I am so proud of our little girl, she is doing all the things a typical 6 month old does! She is almost sitting up, she still falls over, but tries to balance herself with her hands. She loooves her solid food and cracks up in her bath when I squeeze the washcloth on her (of all things!). She had her shots today :( but did really good. She is still little for her age, 12.2 lbs, but her doctor said that she is very perportioned and is growing at a slow, steady rate. She thinks too that she takes after her dad (imagine that!) because he was always the smallest kid in his class until he was 18 when he finally had his growth spurt! So, needless to say, she is just like her Dada! She is sleeping 12 hours a night and is doing great on her new sleep schedule...wheeeew! Great for us...we are way more sane these days. Beside the fact that things are crazy with the business (we put in point of sale computers last week), it gives us more time to do our work without giving her less of our time! So, all in all, life is great...be on the lookout for her 6 month photos "coming soon!"

The Simple Things In Life...

I love seeing the cause and affect of a new little baby exploring everything in this crazy world of ours (I say crazy because I spent a good two hours Friday night watching a presidential debate and now feel like I know way more than I probably do!-by the way, sad events for a Friday night!) But that is neither here nor there...my point is, that this age (almost 6 months, can't believe it) is so amazing! Just the other day I came home to be informed by Nana that my little girl figured out how to make a hanging cord move..."What?" I said. Well, here is what she meant...she actually started sticking her little foot out of the rung of her crib against the wall and realized that if she moved it with her foot, it would hit the wall and make a noise! I wasn't surprised at her sticking her foot out, she figured out that her arms and legs are small enough to fit through ages ago (ages to me is like a few days!) But I cracked up when Nana went on to tell me that she went up and moved her to the opposite end of the crib only to find out that she had inched her way all the way back and was playing again! I know it's silly, but something as simple as this makes you remember all the little things in life and it's simplicity when you look at it from the wide eyes of a baby in which everything is new and exciting! Wow, was that a run on sentance or what! Anywho, I love my little girl and love this stage that she is in, she makes us laugh every day!

WRINKLE WRINKLE LITTLE STAR!

I wish I had a picture of her wrinkling her little nose, but it really doesn't do it justice! Her new thing is to wrinkle up her little nose every time she smiles or laughes. It is the funniest thing! She is doing so many new things every day...it's hard to keep up! I will try to get a good picure so that you can see what I am talking about!

Song and Dance!

So, she has gotten smart...once she sees the green bottle (reflux medicine) come out...she knows "oh that doesn't taste good" and she immediately purses her little lips! So now, what do I have to do? I have to sing and dance around to get her to smile or open up! It's hillarious how smart she is getting, just when you think you have a system down! So, "laaa laa laaa...open up...laaa laa laaa!" is what my morning today was like!

How I got the name!

So, I've been racking my brain thinking of a name for a new blog and it just hit me today driving in the car...Mama (cause' Im a mom) and CanCan not only because of the Cantina but I like to think "I can, I can do anything!". So, that is the mystery behind it, the question burning in your mind!
