Well as I mentioned in the last post we have moved, from Florida to New York. This has been 12 years in the making. I moved to Florida 12 years ago to be with my then boyfriend, who has now become my husband. I never intended to be in Floridia so long. I have always been a country girl at heart and missed living in upstate New York. <br />
After my son was born I yearned to move back even more. I missed my family, life in the country, the smell of cows in my backyard, the quiet, the seasons. I feel in my heart that it is better for my son living here, close to the family, being able to run and play in the backyard, getting dirty playing in the mud, and enjoying all the things I did as a kid too. I am so happy to be back. <br />
Some days I feel like I am living in a dream, a dream I have had for sooooo long. I hope that in the next year or two we will find our dream house and I can continue towards my dreams of a more self sustained living. I hope to keep chickens and bees eventually and grow my own vegetables and we live in a great place to do all those things. <br />
We are living in Ithaca, one of the most green, eco-friendly cities in the country. I absolutely love living here. There is so much to do and so many unique people. I love calling this place HOME!<br />

A certain little guy turned 18 months over the weekend. It is almost hard to believe. You definately have a little toddler on our hands. Everyday he shocks and impressives me with everything he is learning. I dont know if it's just me, but he is one bright young man. He doesn't talk much yet, but he sure can understand everything I ask him to do.<br />
<br />
We spent the last week at my parents house. I haven't been writing for awhile and a lot has changed in the past few months. We have moved to Upstate New York, in the country, finally! My dream, well part of my dream has come true. My husband got a job transfer with the company he works for, in the town where we have been wanting to live for the past 4 years. We are now only living 2.5 hrs from my family, which was one of my main reasons for moving. I really want Darwin to know his family. He enjoyed so much spending time with his Aunt and Grandparents last week and we didn't have to cry when we left because we are only a car ride away.<br />
<br />
We celebrated a special Grandmother's Birthday last week and it was the first time I had been with my mom on her Birthday for 12 years. Crazy! We also went to a very nice family picnic. It was great getting to see Aunts and Uncles and Cousins that I hadn't seen for a long time.<br />

Darwin spent most of last week playing in the dirt and mud, collecting rocks and riding his little truck. He also went to see the farm animals and play at the park. He had a very busy, fun week with his family.<br />
<br />
Now we are back home at our barn apartment on the hill. It is so beautfiul here. I will share pictures on another day.<br />
<br />
<br />
Darwin, You are 18 months old now. You are growing up so fast. You are becoming so skilled at many new things. I love you so much more and more everyday. I love that you are an independent, free spirit and I hope that never changes. Here is a list of what you do now. Love you, Mommy.<br />

My it has been a long time since I last posted. The time flies by and we have been super busy the last few months. Well we are getting into rainy season here in Florida, as well as very hot and humid weather. So the little one and I will be finding lots of activities that we can do inside. Here is one of them. Mixing, stirring and sorting beans. This is a very calming sensorial activity for little ones. Toddlers that put things in their mouths have to be thouroughly supervised, ie my little man. I sat with him as he did this activity. It kept him calm for about 20 mins this is a record for my normally rambunctious 14 month old. All that you need are different types of beans, our them into a big bowl and get some mixing and pouring utensils and let the fun begin. Older children my like to actually sort beans into muffin tins. This is a great Montessori activity.<br />

You are at the one year mark. It's so hard for me to believe that a year can fly by so fast. I am sure for you it seemed like it took forever, but for me I closed my eyes and when I woke up you were one. What an awesome first year we had together. I am so lucky that I get to stay home with you and spend some quality time with you. You had so many adventures this year from going to NY on the airplane, learning to crawl and walk, meeting all of your family, eating food, and many more. <br />
Your mommy is so proud of you and so proud of herself. I breastfeed you for 8.5 months. I would have like to have gone longer, but you were just kinda over it. You have been wearing cloth diapers since you were 8 weeks old, despite everyone telling me I would give up. We have stuck with minimal toys and have almost avoided all plastic toys. I have worn you close to me until you wanted to go out on your own and you slept in our room until we felt you were ready to go off on your own (eventhough I secretly miss having you close to me). You are loving, energetic, funny, independent, rambuncious, sometimes a little leary of things, but over all you have been an amazing baby. I am now looking foward to seeing you blossom even more in the next year. Cant wait till you can say love you mama. <br />
<br />
you are strong-willed/ you are determined/ you learned how to walk/you love to take morning walks with your mommy/you still think daddy is the funniest thing/ you love hanging out with your uncle jo jo/ you like seeing grandm, grandpa and aunt kasey on skype/ your great-grandpa came to visit and you had a lot of fun with him/ you like the riding toy your grandpa made you for your birthday/ you have a lot of energy/ somedays you want to be held a lot/ you like to try to feed yourself with the spoon/ you are still a picky eater/ you can make a monkey and lion sound/you still only say mama/ you dont like to take bath/ you dont like to sit in your high chair/ you dont really like to sit still at all.Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08068422618425873322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240458522234153815.post-89995604549844885352012-03-09T06:12:00.000-08:002012-03-09T06:12:19.354-08:00First time around the sunMy little one celebrated his first trip around the sun yesterday. We had a very quiet first Birthday with our favorite little man. I made him french toast for breakfast and we took him on a nice long walk .In the afternoon we spent a few hours at the library with my brother and some friends. D had a fun time playing and trying to run around the library. At the end of the day we openned some gifts and had a little bit of cake. D wasn't too interested in the cake. He took maybe 2 bites and that was the end of that. He did enjoy the present my Dad made for him. It was a riding toy that he made from scratch. D pushed it around the house and rode on it a few times. It was a very nice , calm day spent together as a family. We are going to celebrate again later this month with his Grandma and some of our friends. Here are some pictures for the day. I will share the homemades here tomorrow. I have been very busy trying to keep up with orders for my etsy shop. Time is very limited lately.<br />

Little man and I spent a nice morning together. For breakfast I made heart shaped pancakes with raspberry jam and strawberries on the side (which someone didnt want to eat, because he is a picky eater), then we did a few errands together and finally met Daddy at the park for lunch. Little man had such a fun time seeing all the ducks and birds.<br />

The afternoon was a little rough though. A certain little person would not take a second nap and was easily frustrated. When he gets frustrated he tends to bite a lot. We are working on this problem, but it has not been easy. I am trying to remain calm and use positive guidance, but it does test my patience. I know he is biting because of his lack of communication. He is almost a year old and at this stage in development there are a lot of new things going on, learning to stand, walk, talk. I just need to remember all this and to try to be calm with him. I will just have to keep showing him that it hurts me when he bites and hope that he will outgrow it. <br />

I spent the evening with my hubby. We had a nice dinner together and then watched a movie. Just a nice, quiet lowkey Valentine's Day.Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08068422618425873322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240458522234153815.post-16432316972632572722012-02-14T06:24:00.000-08:002012-02-14T06:24:31.989-08:00Happy Love DayHappy Valentine's Day to all.

You spent it with your first cold and fever. I feel so bad that you are not feeling well and don't know what to do to relieve your discomfort. I have held you, rocked you, kissed you in hopes to bring you some peace. I hope that you get feeling better soon. <br />

A lot of patience, especially when your baby is not a good sleeper. I think in the past nine months I have had only a week of 7 hour stretch sleeping. I am really starting to feel it. My son is quite the party animal and finds it best to wake up 2 or 3 times a night. Some nights I can get him to go back to sleep rather easily with a little bottle (which I know I should probably not be doing, but he seems to need it) and other nights he just will not go back to sleep. Last night he was up a half hour after going down, 3 hours later, at 3 am and then again up for the day at 5:30 am. I have to remember to be patient when all I want to do is sleep. Ah, being a parent..... but then when you see that little smiling face looking up at you,you forget how tired you are and remember how much you love this special little person.<br />

He probably will have no recollection of the day, or how special it was for us to see him play with the wagon his daddy made for him, but it was so special for us. I look foward to the Christmas's he will remember and how special and magical they will be. We had a pretty quiet holiday spent at home with family. We woke up early to opening our gifts. I let me little man take hid time and open his gifts. He really loved his walker wagon and homemade blocks and spent quite awhile playing with them. He also liked his rainbow felt ball, rocking chair and table and chairs. We went to visiting some of our neighors who were alone for the holidays and then had dinner with family. I received two new books Stitched Whimsy by Heidi Boyd and Playful Learning by Mariah Buehl. I cant wait to sit down and read them when I hve a minute. For my hubby I got him some things for his etsy business. He builds cigar box guitars and amps. I think he was happy with his gifts.<br />

It was for my little man. I was going to wait until Christmas, but figured it would be so crazy and I let him open it early. It was a dump truck from green toys. It is made out of recycled plastic bottles and is BPA free. He really seemed to enjoy it driving it around the living room and we put some fabric blocks in the back that he kept dumping out. He of course loved all the packaging and boxes. I had to snap a few quick shots of him. They are a little dark, but still had to capture the moment.<br />

I can't believe it. I seems unreal that you were just a tiny helpless newborn and now you are starting to become an independent mobile infant. You are all over the house and into everything. I dont mind though because I know that is how you are learning. You are taking in the world around you and it is so impressive to watch those little wheels turning in your head.<br />
<br />
You are getting better at sleeping, but still havent slept through the night/ you can take the outlet covers out of the outlets/you can turn on your daddy's dvd player/ you can crawl all around the house on your belly/ you are pulling yourself to stand on every piece of furninture imaginable/ you still love dogs and go crazy when you see one/ you are celebrating your first Christmas this month/you can crawl on all fours now/you like to try to find yourself with the spoon/you are fascintated with the Christmas tree/you like to skype with grandma and grandpa/you like banging on the computer keyboard/you enjoy books/you like to open and shut doors with your feet/you get so excited when you see a dog/you said da/you like to come in the bed with mommy and daddy in the morning/you laugh a lot/you wave to everyone/you are not scared to go to people you dont know/u you love to be naked/daddy makes you laugh like crazy/you liked Santa Claus/you know how to pull the drain out of the tub when you are finished with your bath/you tried to paint with homemade finger paints/i love when you are sleeping in my arms/you are so inquisitve/you are like a wise old soul/you hair is two colors auburn and golden/you have such a little mouth/you still have clogged tear ducts/you like to dance/you try to play the drum/ you love music/when mommy wears her costume you are mesmorized/<br />

Very exciting. Today I decided to try out an art activity with him. <br />
I got together some supplies. A cookie sheet, homemade water color paint/paste and his art smock and together we sat on the floor. I watched him, as at first he was hesitant to touch the paint. Then he banged the pan, until finally he put both his hands on to the pan and rubbed the paint around. Then he jumped face first into the paint, until he was finally eating the pan and paint off his hands. I love watching him as he discovers new things.<br />

We will be celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, due to my husband working in retail...<br />
<br />
I love the smell of pumpkin and apple pie baking<br />
<br />
Being without a car stinks.<br />
<br />
Working on getting Christmas gifts finished-getting there slowly, but surely.<br />
<br />
Missing my family...<br />
<br />
Missing my hubby who is working a lot right now..<br />
<br />
Enjoying spending time with my little man , who can now sit on his own, pull to stand, and crawl around the house like a little maniac.<br />
<br />
Crocheting, crocheting, crocheting....Working on some new stuff for the store.<br />
<br />
Enjoying the cooler weather we are having this week.<br />
<br />
Realizing I am not as good of a cook as I would like to be.<br />
<br />
Want to learn something new...<br />
<br />
Just trying to take each day as it comes.<br />
<br />
Remembering to be positive, happy and calm. (hard for me to do)<br />
<br />

Things have been hectic with holiday gift making and having a husband who works in retail. I have my hands full with an 8 month old, etsy business, daily homelife, and holiday crafting. <br />
<br />
Looking forward to celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday, which will be on Sunday for us. That's what happens when stores open on Thanksgiving day, but what can you do. My little man will just be spending his first Thanksgiving on our own day..<br />
<br />
Be back soon with all the things I have been makingKathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08068422618425873322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240458522234153815.post-84285192251001342262011-11-09T10:10:00.000-08:002011-11-09T10:10:13.323-08:00What we do after nap....Here is another post inspired by <a href="mailto:sewliberated.typepad.com">sewliberated.typepad.com</a>. What we do after nap. This was a nice calm activity. I took the blanket outside and we sat together and feed the ducks and birds. Darwin spent time looking at the trees, playing with his toys and trying to eat an orange, while mama worked on some crocheting for the store.<br />

I searched around for inspiration and found quite a bit of it on <a href="http://pinterest.com/">pinterest.com.</a> I crocheted Darwin's owl hat and loved the way it turned out. He liked it too. For the body I used a long sleeve brown turtleneck that I covered with different textures of fabric, cut into feather shapes. I then put him in brown leggings and crocheted little orange slippers for his feet. Overall I am satisfied. I think it came out very sweet. He will wear it tonight to walk around the neighborhood. We went to a Halloween event over the weekend and he wore it there too.<br />
<br />
Happy Halloween Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!<br />

The kids all came in woodland themed costumes and built houses for the fairies. D was probanly the youngest one there helping mama build a fairy house. He wore his gnome costume and fit in perfectly. I even bought him the cutest knit kitten and a box of stockmar crayons for when he is a little older. Over all it was a fun day and we got to check out the beautiful and serene Waldorf classrooms.<br />

I picked D up a bag of gourds from the grocery store. Each gourd with their own textures, some are bumpy, some smooth, some long and some small. I sat him down with this activity when he woke up from his nap and while I was folding laundry. He sat and took several of the gourds out and tried to eat them. It kept him busy for a good 15 mins. <br />

I know he is still young but never to young to start yearly traditions. On Saturday we went to our local green market where they have a fall festival throughout the month of October. Since, we live in Florida pumpkins don't grow here so they lay them out in a patch so it seems like they do. Darwin had fun sitting next to and trying to eat the pumpkins in the patch. He also enjoyed the music and loved dancing on the grass. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> On Sunday me and the little one went to another family fall festival at Mounts Botanical Garden. It as a really nice event. The had butterfly, ladybug, bee displays. They also had some chickens, a turkey a bunny, as well as some retired grey hound dogs, which of course made the little one light up with a huge smile. I dressed him up as a garden gnome and he sure did get lots of attention. He really ejoyed his ride around the festival in the ergo carrier. We had a really nice time together just me and him.<br />
