In my last post I talked about how it's been an exciting time since he is learning to crawl, walk, and talk. I also mentioned that he's been having some trouble sleeping as well. Recently we had a bit of a big scare. Normally for his naps I either stay with him in my room or if I have a lot of things to do, I will leave him in my room with pillows and a big teddy bear next to him so he doesn't feel alone or roll off the bed. Sadly, over the weekend this was not helpful. Somehow he rolled off of my bed. He did not get seriously get injured but we got super scared because we still don't know how he fell and ended up on his stomach crawling under my desk. My desk is next to my bed but in a horizontal position compared to my bed which is in a vertical position. We checked his head multiple times, there were no bumps. We checked the rest of his body and there were no bumps or bruises either. We thought maybe he fell on his stomach so we made sure that he didn't hit his m

 Hello everyone!  Here comes some feminist book recommendations from our mascot Bob Ross the poodle, he says they are all perfect for the upcoming weekend!

 In my last post about my brother, I talked about how it can be very overwhelming to take care of a baby and how exciting it is that he's always learning something new. Recently he's started to crawl a little bit and want to walk as well. He'll want to stand up with us holding his hands and start walking a little which is exciting! He's starting to talk a little as well. He can say mama, dada, agua (which is water in Spanish) really easily. He's trying to say other stuff as well like comer (eat in Spanish). He says tetita which is his way of saying bottle for when he wants to take his nap. We recently got him a walker where he's been learning to walk a little more on with us right behind him so he doesn't fall. During these heat waves, he's been in a bit of a fussy mood because he doesn't like the heat as much. We try to keep him in cool places so he's able to be calm and he is for the most part. Mickey Mouse is our best friend most of the time s
