Really? My last
blog entry was six months ago? It
really has been that long? Not to
sound cliché, but time sure does fly by fast. And to think, I thought I could easily have a blog post
written at least once a week.
Guess my assumptions about time, as it relates to being a new mommy,
were off… WAAAAYYYY off! Not that
my lil’ minky takes up ALL of my time.
I mean, for the first three months she slept a good chunk of the
day. But that meant being awake
when mom & dad wanted to sleep.
Which then meant sleeping when she went to sleep… Or, staring at her for
the duration of her nap (with a few pokings in between to make sure she was
still breathing), amazed that this tiny little person is a part of you and
overwhelmed at the responsibility this brings…
So much has happened in the span of six months: I’ve almost
forgotten what a full night’s rest feels like and I try to faithfully follow
some of the best advice I’ve ever gotten - “Sleep when she sleeps.” My favorite accessory has become my
giraffe print diaper bag and I’ve found that baby wipes are what really makes
the world go round. Counting pee
and poop have become a sort of obsession and I never knew I could ever be so
paranoid about the littlest things (confession time: We went to the emergency room at 12am because Aryia was
spitting up more than usual).
Ah, the joys and adventures of parenthood. I won’t even try to play catch up here. What I will do, however, is try my
hardest to at least jot down the most memorable adventures thus far.
For now, here are some of our favorites of our lil’
kumingking.
