He’s Getting So Big!

April 21st, 2008 by Tina Silva

Geeze…I can’t believe how fast babies grow! It just feels like yesterday when I was holding my nephew Marquis for the very first time. I was actually scared to hold him because I didn’t want to hurt the little guy, plus it was my first time holding a baby.

Now he’s five months going on six. It’s crazy how time flies and how fast they grow in such a short amount of time. My nephew is half Jamaican (his father), so his curls are definitely starting to show. It’s soooo adorable!! Just look at the latest photo I took of him below.



Busy in the morning

I have to babysit tomorrow morning. Oh the joy….not…ESPECIALLY since my nephew likes to be the biggest cry baby ever!! I’m just thinking about it now. The worst part is that it’s for the entire morning starting as early at 7am!!

Geeze…I go to bed at that time not wake up at it. So you can just imagine what it’s going to be like in the morning. Not to mention that we’re suppose to get a snowstorm too.



What a cry baby!!!

I got a new photo of my nephew Marquis to show you all. I absolutely LOVE this photo of him. He looks gorgeous!!

I had to babysit him for a few hours while my parents went to get groceries. Of course I was home alone. For the most part, he slept silently next to me in a crib. Then all of a sudden, he was farting then started crying. I was like…okay…what’s wrong? Then he kept crying.

I picked him up and started rocking him, smelled his bum for pooh, but there was none. Then I took him upstairs to feed him a bottle. Of course he stopped crying. When I was done feeding him, he just kept crying and crying. No matter what I did he wouldn’t stop. I was honestly going insane. I was to the point where I just laid him on the bed and laid next to him and listened to him cry for a minute. I was out of ideas on how to calm him down.

Then I picked him up and rocked him gently again. Still didn’t stop crying. Then finally I hear my parents come home and handed him to my mom who somehow calmed him down. Seriously…I don’t know how she did it!! I was honestly on my last fuse because I didn’t know what to do.



My nephew is here!

If you are a regular reader on my other blogs, I’m sure you already heard the news then. My nephew was born early this morning at 3:33 a.m. It’s still very surreal because now I’m officially an aunt. I’m still in shock too. I got a chance to visit my sister and my baby nephew today. They are both doing very well and the labour didn’t last long…a mere few minutes. LOL!

I was surprised at that as well. I’m going back to see them both tomorrow morning so I better get my beauty rest. Of course I can’t end this post without showing off a few photos.



Got some xmas shopping done!

Yes…I DID! I DID! I’m happy I got a few gifts out of the way now. I have a couple more things to buy for my sisters and then they are done. Then I have to get something for my parents and my sisters boyfriends. But…the good news is that I’m done shopping for my nephew. I got a few cute things for him. I got him two outfits, 4 books, and a cute Winnie the Pooh hat and mittens. See the photos below.
