If I can just establish good, open lines of communication with them now and strive to maintain that, through all these years, that’s like the thread to hold on to when their teenagers.
Occupation: Worship leader at Covenant Intl Church Favorite thing to do with the kids: singing and playing. Favorite Restaurant: Cheesecake Factory Favorite TV show: I don't watch TV anymore lol..because I watch baby Einsteins all the time now:) Favorite Book: Bible Favorite Movie: So far .. Bedtime Stories Favorite Recipe: Lemon Glazed sweet potatoes(I got it from Home and Garden website) Favorite Vacation: Hawaii Favorite food: Sushi Favorite drink: Lemon grass hot/cold tea Favorite color: It changes all the time depending on what my mood is..right now its yellow. Most embarrassing moment: At church when I sang a totally different key from what the band was playing, that was so embarassing! Favorite place to go for help: My Husband The secret for being the best mom: Read "baby wise" My daughter has been sleeping for 8-10 hrs through the night since she was 5 months thanks to this book! Feed time then Wake time then Nap time! Any words of wisdom or advice: I have a 9 month yr old and one piece of advice I can give to mothers who have newborns is don't be afraid to let your baby cry when you put them down for a nap. It was hard for me at first. For the first couple weeks she would cry no more then 10 mins in her swing or basinet. I would never let her cry for 15 mins though(which rarely happened) because my motherly instinct would say something is wrong.. So after those 3-4 weeks, I put her down after her "wake time" and she fell asleep right away. Oh yeah I would also advise not giving pacifiers, I gave Eden her pacifier for about a month and then for some reason she didn't like it anymore..lol. Remember new moms.. You're in control, not the baby:)
