The Park Next To Mercadona

I was happy with my photography that day.

Funny things

Yesterday I was talking with the people here, and I was saying how when I went to Aspe Esty started showing off her niece to people. Amelia looks up at my mom, rolls up the legs of her pants, points, and she says "Show off knees, knees." =D
I have a funny daughter.

Hada outfit

These were taken the day before the pimple popped. Was HUGE! Poor thing.
Not the best pictures...but will be taking better ones soon.

Kindergarden and Pimple Update

When I took her yesterday, she started crying as soon as we went in the door. This time she knew what was coming!
Was a bit more difficult leaving her than last time, she didn't want to let go of me. When I got there the teacher said that she was ok, but that she cried more than the last time.
It's so hard to leave her there...but as everyone says, it'll get easier with time.
She's such a big girl now! I'm so proud of her!!
I'll put pictures of her in her kindergarden outfit soon.

Ohhh...btw. I must say about that pimple she had on her face....
It was apparently an infected bug bite. I took her to the ambulatorio and they told me to get her antibiotics. I didn't really want to get her the antibiotics unless it was totally neccessary, but I thought I probably should do it, but when we got out of the ambulatorio, the Pharmacy was closed, so I decided to go get it when I went down to the gym...I went down to the gym and realized I didn't have money on me. So that night, I was giving her a bath, and while praying about what to do about this infected bite, the pussy scab came off...and out squirted a BUNCH of puss! So I prayed and the Lord showed me to squeeze it lightly with my clean fingers ( this sounds like a Life With Grandpa story, lol!) and out came TONS more puss, and now it's gone. PTL!!! I'm glad I didn't have to give her a whole course of antibiotics!

First day at Kindergarden

I didn't get to take pictures inside her classroom, teacher kind of hinted that it's not good to make a big fuss about leaving her. Maybe when I go to pick her up later on.
But the pictures are from before we went inside the school....
Just before she went inside she asked for potty, which is good, because she's kind of picky about the people she asks, so at least she asked me so I could tell the girl to put her on the potty.
I almost didn't leave her, cause as I was walking out, she looked at me with this confused face, and said, "Mommy?" Sounding all betrayed and stuff....I was like...nooo! I have to run out of here before I take her back home with me!!!!
I think she'll do OK though...we'll see when I go to pick her up at 1:00.
Pray we'll both survive this.
P.S. She has a huge pimple on her cheek and it hurts her...poor bunchkin.

Amelia's Belated Birthday Party Pt..1

The Opening of presents

I got her the dolly :D

My Camera

It's a miracle camera! I swear! I bought that for less then 100 euros, and it's fallen three times while on, and it still works!! Two times I thought it was just as good as dead, and so it seemed for a couple days, but after I pray, it seems to magically ressurect. I'm sooo glad, because I don't have money for another one, and not taking pictures of my daughter would be drastically depressing.
TYJ for his miracles which keep me going!

31st of August

So, I wanted to do a little something for her birthday, so I got her an icecream cake, which I don't have any pictures of because she broke my camera, so don't expect many more pictures till I raise enough money for another camera.
I might find some that were taken by someone else and post those later on.
For now, the few I managed to take before my camera broke. Praying

Posing

Amelia and Uncle Timmy

Almost 2 years.

In 10 hours and 13 minutes exactly it will be 2 years since I became a mother.
I remember looking at the clock in the delivery room as soon as she came out and it was 6:05 a.m. A moment I can never change, but a moment that was worth everything that has happened so far, and that will happen in the future.
Right after I had her, I was in that weird half lying half sitting position with my legs on the stirrups and dreading having to give one more push to get the friggin placenta out, while there, I wondered if I would actually be able to love her like a normal mother should. They put her on me, and I was in shock, this little human being, this little girl was mine!
I still don't really think I felt anything like love, or whatever till a couple hours later, when the full reality of it hit me. I looked at her and I realised, she really is mine, and shes here to stay.
So, here she is, almost two, and here I am, extremely proud and happy we've both survived this far.
It's been hard, I won't lie. Sometimes I just want to curl up in a ball and sleep forever and never wake up. Shes active, which as great as that is, makes me want to tie her down for a long time. heh. But just her smile, and when she says things in her cutest lil voice, and when she gives me kissies and says "mommy sad," makes my heart want to melt and I want to squeeze her to infinity.

Ever so pleased.....

for Vicky. She has popped out a very fine, very handsome human being. Too bad he's too young for my lil one. :-P
Love you loads Vicks!!!

The Delay

So I'm like all happy because I now have enough money for my tounge piercing, and I even have the piercings for after I finish the healing process....BUT, I have a small issue about it, cause it's just not as exciting doing it alone as having it planned with someone to do together so you can suffer the pain and non eatting days at the same time.
I think I'm going to wait till I have someone to go do it with.
SIGH!

Out to Granada

Vanilla and Chocolate
Amelia wanted her own chair
Sita and Darren
Seesaw
Darren looking confused

Amelia and I went out with Sita and Darren my last day in Granada, and decided we wanted the delightful company of Anita and Isabel, and then Danny tagged along too...not to say we didn't enjoy his company. hehe.
I wish I had pictures of Anita, Isabel and Danny, but unfortunately my camera went out of battery.

For Anita and Isabel

Nephews

They're are like....the CUTEST things!!! They're so handsome all the little girls are going to be fighting over them. hehhe

Beginning of August

Well, here I am, 1st of August, and it just reminds me that this month I turn 18. Turning 18 means that I will no longer be 17 (who would've guessed). I already feel I'm going to miss 17. It was an extremely interesting year for me, one full of new experiences, pain, joy, making new friends, tears, laughter...agh...you have no idea!
I've lost somethings, but gained so much more in return!
Anyways, rantings and ravings on a hot day.
I just think I'll mention that right now I miss Eman, Kat, Adrian, Adam, Esty, Lily, Vale, JM, Sophi and my nephews, they are the main people who made this year not only bearable, but enjoyable too.
Enjoy the rest of your summer, eat icecream and swim :D

July

Well....here are some pictures from this month.
Amelia's favorite cuddle for the last 4 days, Pingu. She's been taking it all around the house with her, and for the last 2 nights and this quiet time she asked for Pingu to go to sleep with. She even took it in the water with her today...and then Pingu had to stay out to dry for the next couple hours.

Beach time with G'ma


Out to the park with Mommy
