Today was the first day of the New Year. Everyone has been using this 1-1-11 which is kind of neat. I wonder if that will come out in the Pick-It, lol I do not even play. Anyway today was another day of Daddy and CJ hanging out. One of our cousins had everyone over for brunch and you know where food is CJ and Daddy will make ourselves at home. It is very interesting so see how the family grows each time we come together. Today there were four kids that were not around this past summer. It always feels good to meet new family members.
So we get to the venue later than expected but right on time it seems. We were right on time for the food. Daddy and CJ were a bit hungry too. So Daddy prepared a plate of bacon, eggs, grits, home fries and biscuits. He made sure he made enough for CJ because he was sure she would be front and center at his plate and he was correct. CJ wanted to hang out with her cousin that just enlisted in the Army. He is home for the holidays and I guess she decided to use him. He could not resist her cute face and gave her everything she wanted and today that was more food. She also worked her uncles, they were a little more stern but they give in too but they only supplied her bottle and not more heavy food. When her aunt arrived and prepared her food CJ made her way to her plate and was fed again. No wonder this girl is getting so big, Daddy just has to make sure that he keeps her active to keep height and weight proportionate.
CJ also got a bit rough today. Daddy says that she has to let people know that even though she is from the suburbs she still has a hood side if she needs to pull it out of her Louie V, lol! One little girl grabbed a toy CJ had, so CJ yanked it back and threw it at her and told her to stop. The other kid was a boy trying to make his way past CJ but put his hand on her. She yelled to him STOP, and then swatted him out the way. Her aunt was a bit shocked but recognized that CJ is not afraid to throw hands if she needs to.
CJ fell asleep on the ride home and I believe it is the reason her behind is still up at 9:42pm but as soon as I complete this blog she is going to the crib and whatever happens, happens. She had a long day and she had fun so I guess she is going to try to ride the wave as long as she can. (Sidebar) She is now crying hysterically because Daddy put her in the crib. Back to business, CJ continues to be very inquisitive, she looks to find things to get into, good, bad, or indifferent. She is a risk taker which can be good or bad. Today it hurt her because she hurt her lip and we had to ice it down a bit. She went into the bathroom and fell but she is OK.
So keep praying for CJ and her Daddy, she is now at the stage where she wants to tell me No and Stop, and Daddy is having none of it. We are laying down the rules here and it gets a little testy at times but it is all for the better. With prayer we know things, people, and situations can change! Happy New year people, we have a lot to be thankful for and a lot in store for you!
