Baby Teeth

So Little B got his first two bottom teeth a few months ago. Yesterday morning his top two pushed through. It's so exciting, watching him grow! Babies are so amazing. The rate that they grow and learn is rediculously fast. We found out his top two teeth were in because we could hear him grinding his teeth. Now I understand he is just doing it because he is learning what these new obstructions in his mouth are for, but i hope he doesn't continue grinding them. I'm assuming that could be bad. Oh the worries of parenthood.

Video Games

The other day my boyfriend Brian took my son Dominck with him to buy video games. I bet they spent every bit of $80 in that store. Now, 2 days later Dominick has already beat his game. I'm sure any day now he will loose interest in that game all together. I just can't get into the whole video game thing. It may have something to do with the fact that there are not many video games that are geared towards a woman's interests. I mean, if there was a game where I could go shopping for clothes and dress up a model, I might be more interested. Or if there were a game where I could take a picture of myself and then change the way I look, that would be awesome! A little lipo here, a haircut there, add on some make up and nail polish. lol. I don't know of any games like those for PS3 or Wii. If you do, please let me know. Anyhow, I decided to get a Gamefly membership (after my free 1 month trial) ofcourse. $15/month for 1 game at a time, we could do this for 5 months before we spend the money Brian did in 1 day for 2 games. I figure we can rent the games since they will only need to play them for 2 days at a time, and then I can get rid of them or if they want to keep them, I can purchase the game at a discounted rate. Sounds genius, right? We'll see.

UPDATE

Wow, it has really been a long time since I've been on here. I need to update. Meet my new little man. Little B - short for Brian Michael Counihan III. He was named after the most wonderful man I have ever met who just happens to be the love of my life. I am totally in love with my life and I know it is only going to get better. The only complaint I have is that I wish I could spend more time with my family and less time at work all while still making the same money ofcourse. lol. Oh it will happen. I am at a loss because I love my job, but I oh so want to be the soccer mom type. lol. I want to be there to take my kids to school, or better yet homeschool. I want to be able to take Dominick to his tennis meets that always seem to occur during school hours. (Whats up with that anyway?) I want to be able to breast feed for every meal rather than pumping in the bathroom at work. (Not very fun) Speaking of breastfeeding... I have a rather large 7 month old.(wears 24 months clothes) People are already giving me weird looks as though I'm breast feeding a teenager. He is only 7 months old people. I plan to breast feed him as long as we both want to. I dont care if he is 4 years old and still wants that comfort and bonding with me or even if he just wants a snack. I dont see anything wrong with feeding my child no matter how old he is. God forbid, but if he were 10 years old and we were stranded somewhere without food and water, I hope I will still have some breastmilk. At that point I am pretty sure he would not want it, but in a matter of life and death no matter how old, I hope I can still provide for my children. He is already starting to wean though. I can tell. He has cut out a few feedings throughout the day. I'm sure this is due to him starting solid foods. I always try to breastfeed before I give him foods though. I love breastfeeding and I love cloth diapering. I also love not having to buy formula and diapers. :)
I just need to not worry what other people think, but I am only human.
