No Noise Please!

When I finally put him back to his crib.
He fussed and fussed.

I decided to clean his little bottom up and changed his diaper.
Happy camper now.

Then the nurse came in and started telling me about her upbringing in the mountains of Tennessee. In the 1950's

No running water but wells. No furniture in their homes but the back of a cut up pick up truck. She was so funny and I was laughing my bottom off.

When we looked at Daniel, he had his eyes open and was like can y'all be quiet and let a baby get some sleep.

I swear he had that face. Funny.

That was a clue for me to leave.

5 lbs 7 ounces

Daniel is 5 lbs 7 ounces tonight! Double Wow!

It is amazing how fast these babies grow.  Really, really amazing.

The nurse taking care of him tonight is a sweet lady.
She told me that she made the sign on the bedside with his name on it.
I thanked her. She is a caring nurse,

Daniel was so sleepy tonight refusing to open his eye. Oh well.
I held him for an hour and he snuggled up.

I thank God for every opportunity to hold Daniel.

My Mother Vexing.

Let me introduce you to my mother, Mrs Asemota.

She had me at a tender age of 16 and has struggled her whole life.

She is an example of a strong African woman.

 From her I draw strength.

She is a farmer, trader, hair platter, food vendor, housewife, mother, grandmother, karate kicker, store owner, street fighter, human right activist, fashion designer, Bini woman, trouble maker, peace lover, comedian, deaconess, evangelist, importer, exporter etc..........

She got angry over the issue of Child Marriage law being presented in the Senate of Nigeria.

That a girl as young 13 can be married off to any man.

Well my mother vex( got mad).

My mother was not educated by her parents rather she hawked wares for her mother

 She educated herself at adulthood and still educating.

Pardon all  gbaguns ( English is  hard) but enjoy her rantings.

Love you mum!

P Square or Daniel ?

Yesterday, my favorite musicians were here in Houston, Tx.

P Square!

I was going to go shake my arthritis joints  and my Lupus muscles.

Lol.


But my heart was in  one place and one place only.
 My heart was with my son, Daniel.

I stayed with him from 9pm to about 1 am in the morning.  The love of a mother is huge.

PERSONALLY, I missed P Square  but  Y'all Go still CHOP MY MONEY.

Tummy Not!

I came in around 9pm and my favorite nurse was here. Yippee!
She calls him " My Chocloate Baby". She bathed him, changed him and lotioned him up!

He gave me that look like where were you at all day mommy! He smelt so good as I held him for two hours.

When it was time to lie down, he refused to be on his tummy.  He yelled and fussed.

10 minutes later, He finally settled down But I could still hear him  complaining in baby  language.

Probably cussing me out in heavenly Chinense language.

I thank God for Daniel.

5lbs 3 ounces

Daniel has made the 5 lb. maker and still growing. He starts crying one hour before his feeding times. He feeds 46ml of milk every  3hours .

He likes his food like mommy and I guess it is hereditary. We get hungry with a capital H.

Hahaha .

Keep growing my child, keep doing it. You are doing a great job and we thank God.

My Room.

Daniel finally got his own room. His own space where we can play our music, sing our song and get the baby naked sometimes. I wonder why boys like to be naked.

You should see the joy on his face when I go to change his diaper. Pure joy.

Well, we are loving our room. We got more musical toys and Daniel is loving it.
God bless Daniel.
