Kingston Romeo Casault

At at my sister's place and I'm browsing her pictures of Kingston and just have to show you. I'm truly shocked at how different looks from when he was born to just a short 3 months later. They really do grow up fast. The just can't get over it, soooo fast!!!

That's my mom changing Kingston while Auntie Sheilah commentates. HAHA

These pictures are from when he was born to about the first week he was home
These are pictures from the rest of February and March.

Kingston & Momma Update

Two weeks before turning 3 months old

I cant believe it will almost be 3 months since my little fatty fats Kingston was born. He is doing well. He is growing so fast. At his 2 month appointment he was 13.10lbs, hes probably already gained another pounds. I just feel so blessed for having such a wonderful son. He had a play date Wednesday with Shaylee but he was pretty much asleep the whole time, so me and Candace, Shaylee's mommy, had a chance to catch up. She's my old friend from when I use to model for import car shows. Its suppose to be nice and sunny, maybe we will meet up again Monday.
I just want to expose Kingston to different people in the community so I joined a wonderful playgroup in Burien. He and I were getting really lazy just hanging at home. We need to get out, especially me, my blood pressure is going up again . I need to get out there and be active. A nice long walk at Alki this weekend is in order, if the weather stays beautiful. Snow in spring is not cool.

MOTHERS are the BEST

So its week number two and I really miss my mom. My sister and I talked to her and she isn't having the best time. She said she might even come home the end of this month. I really don't want her to because I want her to spend time with my dad, but maybe their having issues right now because why would she want to come home. Oh well, its their business. Yes they are my parents and I love them both but that's grown folks and they know what their doing, right.

I've always been closer to my dad then my mom, probably because she never showed too much affection. But we are getting connecting the way I've always wanted, she's probably my other best friend next to my sister. We've never been as close as we are now. Maybe its because now I'm a mother too and we are sharing that bond, whatever it is its breaking my heart that she seems really down and I can't be with her to comfort her. I've always looked up and have lots of respect for her. She came from a very very very poor family, only a 6Th grade education, and one of 16 kids my grandpa created but I'm proud to say she's that only one worked her ass off and made something of herself instead of just being that typical small, poor, girl from the province. You have to know my mom to really understand her, I can't come up with just one word to describe her.

Well whatever is going on with her I hope it works itself out. My mom is a woman of faith and she has always made good choices. I wish I can tell her that she's the best mom in the world and I miss and love her very much, but she'll probably just say in that wonderful Filipino accent of hers, "huh Dada your crazy, your talking like I'm going to die".

Happy 10th Birthday Aminah

My niece is such a wonderful little girl. I swear for the last 10 years she has been the ONLY one that can calm me down and bring me back to earth when I'm down in the dumps. I don't know what it is about this little girl, she is so special. I've never known a strong feeling before she was born, I didn't even know it exist, and now that I have a son I know it can even go deeper. Aminah is full of life and innocence you don't see too much anymore because kids nowadays wants to be 16 at age 10. I think Aminah has always acted her age. I've never heard her say she wishes to be older, actually she loves to hear stories of when she was a baby and gets all babyish when she hears us reminisce about those baby years. Although I'm sad she's not a baby anymore I'm excited to see her grow up. She will be such a wonderful, kind, and sweet young lady. She has so much love and encouragement from all her aunts and uncles, she'll make us all proud I'm sure. BTW her friends from school are just like her. I can see why they all get along. Except for her cousin Junior, he's a jerk for at 10, not excited to see how that boy turns out. I know that sounds mean but he's the rudest and meanest little boy I know, very disrespectful to his mom and sadly she doesn't do much to stop it either. Oh well, all I know is when he's mean to my niece I give him the stare and a good talking to and he backs off (only for a bit, then he bothers someone else). You should see and hear what my sister does, won't go there with you. One of these days I'll end up choking him if my sister doesn't do it first.

I had a family filled weekend. My mom is gone and I've started class again. Things are great so far. My sister Sheilah watches Kingston. The routine is going smoothly. It's a bit harder to get homework started. There are several reasons for that: 1. Kingston needs LOTS of attention when he's awake 2. When my sister comes over instead of getting things done, we bullshit. 3. And finally who the hell wants to do homework when you've got great company. That will need to change because my math load is serious, over 100 questions a week.

Oldie but Goodie

So its super late, my mom has Kingston sleeping with her and instead of taking advantage and getting my sleep on, I clean and organize my darn picture folder...I'm going to take you back to 2001-2004 enjoy...but please be nice...I'm glad I found there pictures though because I cut my hair Saturday night and was missing my hair but now that I see the old pictures all I'm good, its just hair. Actually it makes me want to cut it shorter =)

Sleepless Night

I tried and tried but couldn't sleep last night. It didn't help that Kingston had a hard time sleeping too, which was weird because he usually sleeps through the night 4-5 hours, but he was waking up every 2 hours. I'm praying he doesn't do it tonight, we have a long day tomorrow, lots of errands to be done. Its a bad time to start this habit because my mom is leaving for the Philippines Monday.

Usually if she knows I haven't had sleep she'll have Kingston sleep with her. I will not have that privilege until she comes back in June. I can't say enough on how happy and grateful I am that my mom has helped me for the last 3 months. My fear is setting in, I have to do it without her help. I've been spoiled with my mother-in-law, Debbie, cooking meals while I was pregnant and my mom moving in to prepare for Kingston's' arrival and allowing me to relax and then caring for Kingston while I was in class or doing homework.
I better stop talking about its just upsetting me. She'll be back in JUNE no biggie...right =/
