Green Eggs and Ham

I haven't read to Vincent since he was a month old. Mainly because I only have two books to read him. I have Green Eggs and Ham and Cat in the Hat. I stopped reading them because he would get fussy everytime I started to read. I decided that he would be able to look at the pictures while I read this time and probably wouldn't remember the book anyways. As soon as I started reading he started laughing, everytime I turned the page he would laugh. It made me very happy that he let me read the whole book to him. Tonight I will try Cat in the Hat again. Hope it goes well.

Anickah Marie

my niece Anickah Marie was born july 18 at 2:42 pm. She weighed 8 pounds 3 ounces and was 20 inches long. I went to the hospital to see her when she was a day old. She looks exactly like my sister. I got the hold her but not for long, as I was afraid to because she's so small. I can't wait til this time next year. My nephew will be going on two years old and Vincent and Anickah will be  one. Plus my best friend's son will be three and another close friend's  son will be two. We could all go to the park and let them play.

Fireworks!

I know I am a bit late at posting this but I wanted to share anyway. Almost every little sound scares vincent so we figured that the fourth of july would be full of screaming. We stayed in for a majority of the day. We could hear neighbors' and even the city's fireworks inside. Around 11pm Vincent still wasn't asleep and Jake wanted to shoot off some roman candles that we bought a while ago. I put vincent in the car seat and we all sat on the porch. Shortly after we went outside a neighbor about 4 houses down started shooting off more fireworks. I figured if Vincent was gonna hear them he might as well see them, so I turned the carseat so he could see. We expected them to scare him but once they finished he laughed for two minutes. When we finished with the roman candles and came back in Vincent fell asleep in a matter of minutes. The picture with the rootbeer bottle was taken at my friends, we were on the porch and I asked for a drink and she went to get it but in the mean time a garbage truck was going down the street so I was trying to calm him down with a toy. She handed me the pop and I just held on to it while calming him down and didn't realise it was so close to him.

A Year Ago Today

July 1st 2011, I woke up went downstairs and took a pregnancy test. It came back positive and I immediately started crying. I had no idea what I was going to do. My boyfriend automatically wanted to put the baby up for adoption. I agreed because there was so many people living in our house, the other kids weren't being taken care of. I didn't want to risk the baby being taken by children services. Another reason I agreed was because I didn't want to lose Jake, I didn't think that I could love anyone as much as him. Mid-July, my boyfriend's dad was constantly complaining about our decision. So we went out to dinner and discussed it. We decided we would keep the baby.

Today, Vincent turned four months old. He recently started rolling over. I don't think I could love.anyone more than him! :)
