Clapping for the First Time

He's been clapping all day! :-)

Ian on the Keyboard

My Poor Baby

I was so sleepy this morning that when Mr Ian started climbing all over the bed, I fell asleep on him and he climbed over the pillow barriers and both him and the pillows ended up on the floor.  After I saw that he was alright, my poor baby drank some milk and went right back to sleep.  He's so cute!

Gotta Love Him

Hi everybody,

Let me start off by apologizing for neglecting my little man's site.  Things have been so busy with us that I had to take a break for a minute from all my sites and concentrate on school and publishing my latest fantasy fiction novel, Darkened Sunrise.  I have to thank my family for helping me with Ian while trying to complete this project and my homework because Mr Ian is still not a fan of my laptop, lol.  In addition to trying to kick it, he now tries to dig up the keys.  Gotta Love Him!!  :-)

So what have we missed sharing with you.  Christmas, New Years, and his Christening.  They all were great.  My little man is growing up.  He started crawling, playing with bubbles, and kicking like nobody's business.  He enjoyed himself at all events.   He enjoys himself everyday.  Every time we go somewhere, people always comment on what a happy baby he is.  I am so glad for that because he could have been a fussy baby.  Definitely Gotta Love Him!!  :-)

Now I don't mean to pimp my baby's website, but I'm going to plug my new website and his father's site.  If you have the time, check them out at:

If you or anyone you know is interested in making a little extra funds, check out the K Kellee Books Incentive Program for more details on how to make that happen.

Have a great week all.

Update 12/17/12

These past few months have been going by and Mister Ian is just getting bigger and bigger.  December has been his busiest Doctor month since he left the hospital on Memorial Day, and I am happy to report that all of his test have come back with positive results.  Up until this weekend, he has been in perfect health.  These past couple of days though he has had a low grade fever and every time I think it's gone, I might get a little spike.  I'm glad he's stayed out of the 100's today though, he's just been borderlining.

I'll tell you one thing, this fever is definitely not bringing out his sweet side.  The first night I didn't get any sleep at all.  Last night was better but we still battled.  Tonight, the fight was shorter since he's feeling a lot better.  I think he's teething.  I have read that fevers have nothing to do with teething, but I have also read that a lot of people don't agree with that.  I am one of those that don't agree because when I was growing up, my little brothers and cousins had fevers when they were teething so I'm going to rely more on past experience for this one.

It has been a while since I've given an update on Ian, but between him, school, visitors, and daily life distractions; I have been completely tied up.  I feel like I've abandoned all of my websites, Twitters and Facebook pages.  It is so sad.  I'm going to try to do better.  I'm putting myself back on a schedule so I can use my time more productively.  It is imperative I do this if I want to accomplish all of my tasks on a regular consistent basis.  Bare with me and send Ian your prayers for a speedy recovery.  My little Angel will be back to acting like an Angel as soon as he's feeling better, but when your dealing with teething, it's anyone's guess of how long the process will actually take.

Update 10/30/12

My baby loves fruits and vegetables.  When I was younger I would not eat it.  I didn't like anything green especially, but not Mr. Ian.  He loves peas and spinach and squash as vegetables and he loves any fruit, especially mangoes.  He is not the biggest fan of meat though, especially ham.  I may have a vegetarian on my hands.  I'm cool with it.  He's not picky about anything but meat so I'm happy.  He's already better than me.  He tries to hold the spoon and feed himself, but he's not the best at that because he almost always chokes himself.  I'm in the everything for his mouth phase, I'm sure that will last a while :-| Happy feedings everyone.

Update 10/24/12

My lovely Mr. Ian got frustrated with me today because when he tried biting my knee, he couldn't get a good grip on it.  My mother said I am going to make him talk before his time because he is always baby babbling at me.  He is moving around a whole lot and he loves the outdoors.  It's safe to say his favorite color is red at this point.  When he goes on his walks, he loves looking at cars go by and his favorite ones that make him break his neck are red ones.  Same thing with women, he's such a little charmer already.  Every day I look at him, I see more things that he's going to do that's going to give me problems later on.  I have to get him in check, but right now as hard as I fight, he is winning, lol. :)  Happy Days!!

Lost Updates 10/21/12

It's been too long since I updated you on Ian and he has been having some great milestones.  First of all, I would like to thank those of you who voted for me in the Harlequin ~ So You Think You Can Write Competition.  Even though I did not place, the experience was a great one.  It forced me to finish my second book in the Ansheniu Series that I had put on hold since I got pregnant and now I am working on the third book.  November is #NaNoWriMo and I will be participating in that so I can make a big dent in the third book, but it will not be as demanding as the last one was for me.  With Harlequein's Comp I was writing around 5k words a day and between that, school, and Ian, I had no time to even think about anything else.  I really wanted to keep up to date with Ian's accomplishments though.  This is like my journal for him, something he'll have to look back on for a long long time.  Other private thoughts like those about his dad for example I have written in a book, when he's old enough he can have that diary I started from when I was pregnant.

Enough about me, in the last month Mr. Ian has been chatting up a storm, spitting everywhere, rolling over, trying to crawl by sliding his face across his floor pad, trying to walk because he doesn't like being lower than everyone or anything else, eating more solid foods, and laughing, talking & crying louder and louder everyday as his voice changes.  He is a spectacular boy and he is trying to do everything at once, which is funny in itself.  When he's unhappy he start's calling out ma ma over and over again.  I would like to think he's calling me already, but he's to young to know what he's saying :-)  I'll just enjoy the moments though. He is still kicking my computer when he thinks I am spending to much on it and he discovered he really like pulling my hair, a lot :-)  I am still his favorite person, but i find myself wondering how long will that last? :-)

He has grown so much, already over 15lbs.  I remember still what he looked like at birth being 3lbs and he's changed so much.  He has more padding on his body, so he's becoming more doughy.  His hair is changing too.  He's loosing all his baby hair and the new growth has come in like peach fuzz.  He just some hairs hanging on around the perimeter that make his hair still look full till you turn him around :-)  At first I thought he was pulling out his hairs, but there were just to many strands all over his pillows, his face, and my shoulder to be from pulling.  He's fussy and feisty too, just like mommy :-)

Tooting My Own Horn

I feel pretty accomplished these days.  I have been working my but off writing page after page getting closer and closer to the last page of my new book.  I have been taking care of Mr. Ian and his demands (with some help from time to time) and doing my school work and cooking and cleaning too.  I am tooting my own horn because I feel good.  I have one more chapter to write tonight, Ian permitting. :)

Well, just saying hi.  Back to work for me.  Stay blessed everyone.

Update 9/24/12

Between school and Ian, I hardly have time to do anything else.  Being that I just said that, I have to add one more big task to that list.  I have also entered a writing competition and have to finish writing my latest addition to the Ansheniu Series ASAP.

I have 50,000 more words to go and then I have to edit the whole thing before I submit it on October 12th.  As a matter of fact, I should be working on it now instead of writing on my blog but I just had to give an update.  After mid October, I should be posting regularly again.  As regular as I can between Ian and school.

Mr. Ian is a mess.  These days he is laughing harder, crying louder, and fussing as much as he can when he doesn't get his way.  He keeps me busy.  He is a joy. He is sitting up a lot more too.  He doesn't like to be cradled as much.  He talks non stop too, my grandmother swears he'll be talking so I can understand his words soon.  I think he gets the motor mouth from his father, lol.
