Loosing my cool

Yesterday was your madrinas and AJ's birthday. We had a day planned of morning spend it with your Madrina and in the evening with AJ. Well, it was 8 am when I heard you through the monitor crying. I watched thinking "you'll lay down (you were standing) and go back to sleep like you usually do" it didn't happen. I went in there trying to put you back to sleep bec you never wake up that early. If you stayed awake at 8 that means by 11 you'd want your nap... We were having lunch with Madrina at 11! I rocked you to sleep while sitting but you were just looking around. I had to get up (even though I didn't want to, my back has been hurting so much for the past week!) you were starting to daze off and I thought finally! I will go get ready while you nap a bit longer! as soon as I would lay you back to the crib you would wake up screaming and crying!!! I tried many times and next thing I know it was already 920!! Multiple times, I rocked you, sat down, walked away, and it all resulted in crying. But during my moments of frustration, I would raise my voice at you. I'm sorry baby. I'm sorry that sometimes I l just loose myself and get angry. I would never hurt you, you are my little heart, but rasing my voice at you when all you want to do is sleep in my arms is not any better. I'm sure you forgot all about it but I haven't. I haven't forgotten how I get so bothered and it makes you cry. How your little cry gets so emotional and tears build up in your eyes when we hardly ever see you cry with tears. I'm sorry my little guy. I try working on myself to have patience and calmness. Like dada. But sometimes being a mommy is very hard work. I promise to work on myself. To try and show you smiles and happiness. I don't want you to grow up being afraid of me. Or being afraid of my voice like I would be when my parents would be upset with me. I know you are okay and happy because not long after, you would smile at Me. I love you Liam. I'm sorry for not being the sweetest nicest mommy I wish I could be. But I'm trying.

No more Disneyworld

We were 26 days away from going "Home". 
Unfortunately today ,Dada was told that they can no longer make over time at work. He would do a hour everyday. It wasn't much but that one hour would help us out so much. In reality, the trip would of cost us over I don't know, 3-4 thousand dollars. We just don't have that kind of money right now, specially without Dadas overtime.
I can't lie, it does make me sad. It makes me sad because I truly was looking to this trip. I was looking forward to seeing you react to Mickey Mouse. To the neat restaurants that we were able to score reservations too that are hard to get. To doing so many fun things that I was looking forward to, even if you are still little. This isn't Dadas fault. It's no ones fault. Unfortunately things and real life happen. Dada gives us and does so much for us. I just hope that momey being tight, that we'll be okay and dada to not stress out so much. If he's calm and happy, I'm calm and happy. 
Hopefully one day, when things are better, you can see why we love Disney so much, and get the privilege to take you.

Brushing teeth, steps, more teeth

You're getting more teeth!! Poor baby, when are you going to get an actual break from being in pain! It seems like now you're getting a bottom tooth on the left side! Today we had your madrina, Jesus, Julian, padrino, grandparents, Erick and his gf over today. You and Julian had such a great time playing!!! I really hope you boys have a great relationship in the future. Dada was playing with you tickling your stomach and Julian must of thought you were being hurt because whenever dada would do that, he would cry and yell and then be fine when dada would stop lol. 
Yesterday we started brushing your teeth!! So far you're doing well! You even want to hold your own toothbrush now lol
