been awhile

ok,
so i kinda forgot i had this blog. so this is what has happened in the past few months.. uh...i got my vegetarin baby books..some where good some where not so good..i did get a good amount of info and some good recipes..maggie turned 1 on sep 22nd..it was alot of fun..she kinda didnt like it cause there was alot of people.. but as soon as everyone left and it was only a few people left she enjoyed it and played with her toys..
i made her a banana chocolate cake with banana cream topping...it was really good and it was vegetarian..no eggs and make from lovely scratch!

i found a pretty awesome stash of newborn cloth diapers and diaper covers at the thrift store a few weeks ago.. they are in great condition and i got about 20 diapers and 5 covers..and they where .50cents each which is a amazing deal..no i dont have a newborn nor am i pregnant but i just couldnt help myself from buying those diapers!
i keep going" this is sucha  great deal, i can put it in storage till we have another baby"  :/
comparing them to maggies diapers they look ssoooo tiny, i cant even remember her being that small!
hmm whatelse.....
i think were planning on moving out of jpusa..i think sometime in this comming year 2011. im pretty excitied about it. i keep looking at apartments on craigslist goin " oh thats a nice one" or " oh i really like this one!" its been awesome living here but i am ready to see whatelse god has planned for us.
i think we want to move somewhere close to the wicker park area...mostly cause the church we go to is in the wicker park area and we would really like to be close to it, espically since we dont have a car or anything. but we still have some time, it wont be for at the least another 6months or so till we actually move out.

vegetarian baby...

so my daughter is almost 11 months and she hasnt eaten meat in about 3 months..before then she hardly even ate it..my husband is a vegetarian and im parcel veg, but not so strict about it..were choosing to raise our daughter mostly vegetarian. so while trying to do some reseach online about babies/toddlers being vegetarian it came as a surpise to NOT find that much info about it..

i would mostly find the same things..like how to cook vegetables for babies/toddlers..or how to sneak vegetables into kids food. mostly alot of recipes..which is cool but not what i was looking for..
i wanted the facts and the know how and what about this subject..i wanted to know things like what to replace to get what vitiams she need from not eating meat..

alot of the info was for breastfeeding mothers or people who breastfed their baby..uh..hello not every vegetarian breastfeeds!
my daughter is a bottle baby (or was..now shes a sippy cup baby) she drank formula and still does..we started her out on the normal enfamil premuim lipil and now she drink the enfamil soy..since soon we will be able to drink jsut soymilk...

so the internet was not really that much a of help..
well how about the library?!
ok! lets check
nope..mostly cook books and some 20 year old out of date info about vegetarian babies...i checked out the 20year old book anyways...it did have some helpful hints...

i checked ebay..amazon..borders..barnes & nobles for vegetarian baby books..and boy did they have them..and at a stupidly high price..

thankGod for borders market place..i was able to find 3 books for under $3 each..so i put them in my "cart" and went to check out..$13 total with shipping for these 3 books..SWEET!
 of course they are used but hey! for that price who cares..if i bought them new i would only be able to MAYBE buy just 1..

so now im doing the waiting game...they are expected to come by the 15th...it is the 12th...

i really really cant waite to read them..for 1 they are not out of date..the oldest book is early 2000's
and 2 i got one thats also for being pregnant AND a vegetarian..not that, that has anything to do with my current status(still vacant womb!) but in the future that could be very helpful...

so when i get those books i will make sure to write something about them..hopefully all good info that will be helpful to whom ever is interested..

cranky tiny tot

"i have a room full of toys and i only play with them for alittle bit...i throw them all over the floor and then cry cause there is too many things in my way..
i try to bite my moms computer but she wont let me.. i try to touch her computer but she wont let me.. maybe i'll just cry...im not tired cause i just took a nap..im not hungry cause i just ate. im not dirty casue i just got my diaper changed....im just bored...
here goes mom cleaning my room just so i can throw my toys on the floor again..maybe i'll slightly play with a toy and cry at the same time...maybe i'll stop crying for awhile and then start up again...life as a 10month old is so hard, maybe its my teeth that hurt..maybe..but then again i have no teeth..so i wouldnt know what that feels like..i think i'll just keep on crying"

my day before 2

so heres my day so far....for those who want to know what i do most of the time..

i woke up around almost 10am( i got to sleep in..oohhh yeeeaahhh!!!).. got dressed..went into my daughters room,changed her diaper and got her dressed...then i made her breakfest and fed it to her...then i sat in her room..her UN-A/C room. which ment that it was HOT and HUMID in her room(thanks Chicago summer weather!)
we went downstairs to check our mail..woo we got 2 packages!
finally the leopard print squeaky shoes i bought off ebay are here! woo..what?! its missing a squeaker?!! well thats what i get for buying them used and NOT asking more questions.. bummer! but thats ok cause i can buy replacement squeakers...
good news.. in the other package was a owl necklace i bought off ebay. sweeeeet!!

so up the elevator we go..next stop 4th floor!!...maggies cranky and i think she needs a nap..yeah it is almost 1 shes due for a nap.
i put her down..she starts to cry..2minutes later the monitor goes silent..looks like someones in dream land :)

ok korry...this is your workout time..change into your workout clothes and do it!!.."aww man i dont wanna"..but i do it anyways...i put on my workout video..(the biggest loser bootcamp)..and i work out for about 30minutes...then i do my OWN workout which just consists of me doing 100 cunches and 100 arm thingys with my weights....that was a good 30-40min workout...

OH the monitors going red..so i guess maggies crying and awake...good thing i just finished my workout..
i go into her room and she starts laughing while in her crib...cause she sees me(shes crazy that way).i pick her up put her on the floor..and off she goes playing with her toys..i go into my room and change back into my not workout clothes..I get my laptop and now im in her room typing this up...

theres that sound again!..maggies crying, looks like shes hungry...whats for lunch?! aw HA! pears and apple blueberry saunce..one of her favorites! if only she would sit still and eat this...1 jar down 1 to go..no my hand is not a toy! no that toy doesnt hit your spoon...maggie are you  all done?! she gives me the all done sign in  baby sign language ( her first and ONLY sign...for now)
great the powers off in her room...now i gotta walk down to the hallway and flip the switch....
*flip*
i open her door....nothing!
back to the hallway closet for me...
*flip*
i open her door again....YES! fans are back on...
its only 1:49pm and i feel like i have done so much today..but the day has hardly just begun...

my day still consits of alot of "NO's" and "DONT TOUCH THAT" or "MAGGIE STOP" and a whole lot of me saying " MAGDALENE!!!"

every 10-15minutes maggie wants to touch the computer.. i think she wants to write her own blog..and every 10-15minutes im saying one of those 4 words...

woops she fell...on her butt..time for a fake cry!

dont worry korry.. 2 1/2 more hours and paul will be home...just 2 and a half more hours..HA!
