This Mommy Needs Sleep!

          So ever since we got to Florida Kylie's sleep schedule has been awful! At first it was jet lag then I finally got her on a good routine. When we got in our house and settled in Jacksonville. But every time we would go down to Orlando, which was a lot. Actually too many times in my opinion, it would ruin the great progress I made with Kylie’s naps and routine. On the days that Kylie is well rested and has had her two naps and goes to bed on time. She’s a doll barely any tantrums. But when she over tired I feel so guilty for going to Orlando so much or just the fact that my poor baby is over tired! So I’m constantly trying to make sure we are on schedule and things run smoothly. Now that she’s older she just doesn’t want to nap. she goes from good weeks were she naps beautifully to horrible weeks were its a nightmare to try and get her to sleep.  I feel like we've tried everything from cry it out, to rocking her and of course I still breastfeed her. I’m at my wits end! She still ends up in our bed at night between 2-430am to nurse. I dont mind co-sleeping and nursing for a little, but she will nurse all night most of the time and it drives me nuts. Because I'm up most of the night switching sides and I can tell we are both not sleeping well. Anyway that’s my frustration lately with my life other then that I am truly blessed. I feel like maybe Kylie is just transitioning to taking one nap instead of two a day. Whatever it is I will continue to keep her on schedule and stick with our routine! 

      Kylie is so sweet and so smart. Lately she’s been showing interest in talking more, she will say a few words randomly once then she wont say them again. Her favorite movie is curious George boofest Halloween movie it’s been her favorite for months. She cracks me up with she say uoo! (Boo). She’s finally said dada well she says it randomly same with mama. But she’s been saying mama since about 7 months. The only word she consistently says is stop! To the dog when he barks at anything she’s so bossy. She’s my best friend and stuck to me like glue. 

     Working out has been great! I’m still going to the gym and kicking butt. I just feel so impatient I just want to see results already! Daniel says I look like I’ve lost some weight but the scale is just moving so slow. The past two days I've really been watching what and how much I eat and I feel like that’s made a huge difference. Only time will tell!

     All in all life is pretty great I'm just enjoying being a mommy and wife. I really can’t complain god has truly blessed me. Please prey for me with the sleep problems that Kylie's going through. 

I'm Back!

      I decided to start bloging again. I stopped because I felt like no one was reading my blog. I really didn’t have time for it while I was pregnant. I tried to keep up with it but I didn’t do a good job of that. Then after I had Kylie I was so stressed out I just spent her first year of life doing the best I could. Learning and growing as a mom, blogging was the last thing on my mind. 

        I got to thinking and I realized it would be nice to look back on memories that I've been making with my little girl. I post on fackbook daily, I have for years. But after a while you can’t find some of the old post. So here I am back to blogging if people read it then great. If they don’t that’s fine too because I am doing this for myself. This is a place for me to store my precious memories, so hello blogger world. 

     Since I’ve been gone you missed a lot. Kylie is now 13 months old actually she will be 14 months on the 2nd. She’s walking and has been since 11 months. She’s a doll and has the sweetest personality. My mom says she’s a lot like I was when I was her age. A lot of her personality and looks favor me. Don't get me wrong shes also a lot like her father. She looks like him a little but she’s truly my mini. I love her to pieces she’s teaching me new things daily and I hope I am doing the same for her. 

         I’ve been focusing on my relationship with God and just trying to not be the luke-warm Christian I was in the past. I mean I’ve always been a believer but boy did I fluctuate on being consistence with my walk. I feel like I'm back on track. It's important to me to raise Kylie and my future childern  as Christians, living for God. I want her to see me living for God as well lead by example i can talk to her all i want but she has to see me doing it. I've realized I can't keep thinking I have all this time to start a great relationship  with God and living the way he wants me to. because I have no idea how much time I have on this earth. I love that I'm finally serious about my walk and truly living for God. It has been the best decision I've made. 

          As you can see by my old post my marriage was so up and down all the time. I can finally say yes, I am still married to the same man and yes we are finally in a good place and happy. It took five years (we’ve been married for 6 so far) but after Kylie was born things just kept getting better and better. I love being Mrs. Caballero. I love my husband to pieces. God has truly blessed me

       Weight has been a huge issue in my life I've blogged about it a lot. I’ve been so up and down and honestly when I thought I was huge. I had no idea what huge was. I'm the biggest i've ever been now. Well actually I was my biggest at 9 months pregnant but that doesn’t count. The first year of Kylie's life I didn’t care about my weight. I was so tired and stressed and always breastfeeding that I felt like I could always lose weight. My main focus was being a great mommy. Anyway she’s one and I finally feel like I have the hang of this mom gig. So I’ve been back in the gym since January and it has been hard! It’s been hard to make it a habit to go five days a week! It’s been hard building my endurance! I was in horrible shape in January, now I feel like i'm getting better! My biggest struggle is not eating badly.  Its a challenge, especially since I ate whatever I wanted for so long and didn’t exercise. Today I can say it is now a habit I am in the gym, four to five days a week and i make sure i kick my own butt. Now if only I can control what goes in my mouth! Pray for me y'all! 

I will try to blog more often! I know my grammar and spelling is horrible but no one is perfect I guess lol.  For now here are A LOT of awesome pictures of my baby girl.

Me on the left and kyile on the right see shes my mini!
