Oh My Goodness!

This child is determined to make me lose my mind! He throws tantrums over EVERYTHING. I just don't know what to do anymore. Wether I'm changing his diaper, taking him out of his carseat, putting a shirt on him or he drops his bottle, full out tantrum starts. Kicking, screaming, throwing himself all over the floor, slapping....the whole 9 yards!

Where in the world did he learn this? He's not around any other kids, so I know he didn't pick it up from someone else! If they are this bad at 6 months, I am already dreading those terrible 2's!

anyone else experiencing this?!

Mothers Day 2011

Will you looky there! It's my first Mothers Day, as a MOTHER! and guess who has the most craptastic day ever?! oh yes, you guessed it. THIS MOMMA! Started off pretty good, Trystin let us sleep until a whopping 8am! (We normally get up at 6:45 for some unknown reason)...in the distant past my son used to sleep until 8am everyday. distant. past. So anywho! Chris tells me last night he'll get up with the baby and let me sleep in. BAHAHAHA gooood one! I hear Trystin babbling over the monitor so I gently nudge Chris. I get a grunt, a huge sigh and the blankets thrown at me. Thank you honey. So he brings the baby into the room and lays him next to me. I mention he's probably hungry, Chris logs into facebook. Up I go to get his bottle. We all eventually get up and wander into the living room. I jokingly say "Where is my breakfast in bed?" His response? "We have nothing to fix, I could have made you cereal"...yeah thanks babe. So I make my own breakfast of oatmeal (Why didn't he think of that!?) and sit down to eat it. Surprisingly Chris feeds Trystin!! He then gets ready for work and leaves around 10:45. So now i'm all alone on Mothers Day. No presents, no breakfast, not even any damn coffee!! By this point I'm in tears, why can't my first Mothers Day suck a little less? Then to top it off, Trystin decides to throw about 6 million tantrums throughout the day. I get my hair pulled, kicked, pinched and screamed at...by a 6 month old. By the time 6pm rolled around I wanted to send him to bed without his dinner! LOL. I feed him, bathe him and give him his bottle and off to bed he goes. Oh! I forgot to mention, after consulting my hubster, I actually did walk to Braums and bought myself an ice cream. Happy Mothers Day to me...my one guilty treat of the day. This was the WORST Mothers Day ever...and it was my very first one. I don't have high hopes for the next one. ALTHOUGH Trystin did say "mama" directly at me AND Chris finally heard him say it. YES!!!!! :D

my little man today<3

Here is my handsome son, Trystin Michael. He was born October 26, 2010 at 5:28pm. He weighed 8lbs 11oz and was 19.5 in long. At his 6 month check up on May 2nd he was 17lbs 8oz and 28 1/2 in long! He is stubborn, funny, sweet and feisty. He loves our german shepher/boxer mix Coda. He is definitely his daddy's mini me! Trystin has recently began to throw tantrums. I do the CIO (cry it out) method, I formula feed him, He sleeps in his own bed and proudly wear Pampers. I do not feel bad for my way of parenting. It works for us. We tried co-sleeping and he hated it. I breastfed for 6 weeks before I started pumping straight blood and by drs orders had to quit. He loves Yo Gabba Gabba and he loves to walk in the park with me every morning! His favorite foods are anything fruit wise, sweet potatoes and little tiny pieces of scrambled egg. He HATES peas and carrots! LOL I sound like I am putting him on a dating site!! He's currently fighting sleep in his crib. I can hear him whimpering. I'm going to make him a bottle and see if I can't get him to sleep. Later!

Introduction!

Well I guess I should go ahead and introduce myself! My name is Kalin Griffin. I am 21. I will be 22 in July. I have a 6 month old son named Trystin. He is my world. I am married to an amazing man named Chris. We tied the knot on March 24, 2011. I am a stay at home mom and I have a home based business Decor Your Way.  You can find me on facebook! Just search Decor Your Way. I do alot of baby names with wood. But I can do just about anything :) I have 2 dogs that drive me insane. And a house that sometimes doesn't get cleaned for days. Taking care of Trystin is my full time job. Although I do have plans to go back to school to become a neonatal nurse. But that's for a later post! I do miss working, but I love being the one to take care of Trystin. He's alot of fun but he's recently learned to throw temper tantrums. He has tryed my patience repepatedly this past week. But I never once lost my cool!! Very proud of myself for that. I love him more than life itself, but those tantrums are no joke! And it's only when I go to dress or undress him or change his diaper. Tonight he actually fought me at dinner. And he NEVER fights food! My mom says its just a phase. So we'll see! My mothers day was terrible. My husband works on an oil rig and left for his 7 day work week. I miss him terribly when he's gone. But next week we are house hunting and getting family pictures done, so i'm very excited about that! I need so stick to my diet and stop cheating. And I need to remember to exercise. Blah! well more for later :)
