So today while getting Miss Fumiko dressed I realized the onesie and the little shirt/dress thinger that she was wearing were newborn sized... And they fit her perfectly. Her little bloomers were 0-3m sized and they're still a little big. She's tiny! :) She's almost seven months and it doesn't seem like she's that old. This morning I realized why. She hasn't gotten that much bigger, so I don't see her as being that old. Sascha was always a big baby, not as in fat, but he was just bigger in general than Fumiko. He was at least twice her size at this age. He was always wearing a size ahead of his age. While Fumi-chan is so tiny, she's very healthy! She has a great appetite, she eats and drinks regularly, and she's not skin and bone. She's well proportioned for her. :) I guess it just irks me when people see her and tell me how tiny she is, or guess that she's 3 months old. o_O That is when it bother's me. I don't see her as being that tiny, or small, unless she's compared to other baby's of the same age, or I stop and really think about how old she is. And even then it doesn't really bother me. I'm just rambling now. -.-
She's been doing so well. Every time she stands, or crawls or eats, or does anything it amazes me. :) She's just doing well and I'm really glad to see it and so proud of her. I'm still trying to find my Kodak camera so I can take some video's of her and upload them. But I haven't found it yet. I've checked pretty much everywhere with no luck yet. So hopefully I find it soon and if not, hopefully I can find a really cheap priced point and shoot on eBay or somewhere to replace it.
Also, who knew that Kai and I would be living in our own house at this time. We sure didn't. We thought it would be years before we had our own house, and the thought of possibly having to deal with mortgage lenders made us cringe. I guess things have definitely worked out for the better. :) Now if we can just finish unpacking. Kai was asking me today about taking time off so his mom could come up. We're trying to figure out how we want to do it without cutting into his paycheck. Oy.
I also uploaded a few photo's! I have more to go through. It's just been a slow process. :) Oh and my Hello Kitty mouse and mouse pad finally arrived. :cat:
Ugh. I'm hooked.

Teresa is giving away a cupcake scented gift set by Embrace Bath & Body, over at her personal blog. The contest is for USA and Canada only.
Reese always does awesome contests! :) Hopefully later this year I'll be able to start doing them. :D She's very inspiring in that area. On a side note, I have tons of photos to upload and resize! I took some more of Fumi-chan tonight. Eating my dinner!
It's all I've heard and it's all I've said for the past few years.
I can't wait for the day until I don't have to say that word---someday.

Jeez, 90% of the people who see Fumiko for the first time always say the same thing: "You belong in movies". Ahhhh! The only thing I'm willing to do with her is modeling, IE: catalogue modeling, etc. One of my mom's friends is going to look into it for us. She has a friend whose granddaughter is in modeling. So we'll see about that. I'm still not entirely sure about it and I know Kai doesn't really like the idea. My mom keeps pressing me about it, so I'm at least going to look into it.
We're at the shop right now. I'm updating the shop website, and posting the new hours. My mom finally decided to change her hours. I've been trying to get her to do so for like two years now. Anyways her new hours are from 11am-6pm Tuesday-Saturday and closed Sunday and Monday. :)
You know there must be a flux of weight loss stuff on tv right now or something we've had a burst of people coming in recently to see if we have anything like Lipovox. We don't normally get many people who are really looking to lose weight. It's mostly people with other health concerns.
I know I showed you all a video, but that video kind of sucked and it was dark. So, here. Show your photos of your room too! Enjoy!
I keep the link between me and certain friends or acquaintances (offline) loose. I'm sure there's some psychological meaning behind it from some tragic event in my past, and it's become a familiar phase for me. As a result, I've had many of my friends remain distant. I don't like to pry --I'll even tell you I won't pry after a few screwdrivers-- nor do I like to make people do or say things he or she doesn't want to do. I don't know if that comes out as uncaring to most people, but I see how they can think that. It explains the small group of friends I do have, in my life right now. Which is both good and bad, but I refuse to change my ways. If you don't want to be my friend, then maybe it's better that way. I don't want you to be my friend if you don't want to, but honestly -and I say this with much confidence- that that doesn't come up that often. I'll be friends with everyone, I care about everyone, and I'll always be here.
But there's still that loose link that I refuse to tighten. And unfortunately, many of those loose links are guys. I've never had a close guy friend as my best friend; I've always had girl friends. Because I keep loose links between me and guys, I can't ever keep them close. Especially when he finds a girlfriend. Never fails. Never. When he finds a girlfriend, he disappears out of my life. Always.
I guess it's sort-of a good thing I keep links loose because it keeps the drama out of my life. I had my share of drama a couple of years ago, and I refuse to relive that again. Drama-free is the way to live. Like drug-free. The point of this entry is to say that I love fake drama. I love watching drama on television!
I'm a sucker for drama series. Dawson's Creek, Everwood, One Tree Hill, The OC, and soon-to-be (the new) 90210. I've been watching season 1 of The OC, crafting, plurking, and reading the past few days. And I've come to the conclusion that I'll always love Seth Cohen.

I hate soap opera's, really I do. . . It seemed like a fitting title.
I am so annoyed. I can't find my Kodak camera. -.- I need it so I can take video's of Fumiko. Grr. I've looked everywhere, and I just can't seem to find it. My old one that I gave my mom isn't at the shop either. We both looked everywhere with no luck. Poop. I wanted to take a video of Fumiko for Helen. :frust: Maybe I'll run across it soon.
I started taking some herbs for a yeast infection. It's the first one I've ever had. o_O It's horrible. I can't imagine getting these on a regular basis, how do you not go insane?! Urgh. I'm at a loss of what to write about. Things have been going okay: unpacking slowly, playing chocobo's dungeon off and on, taking care of Fumi-kitty and Sascha, taking Kai to work - he works for the next 10 days straight, being at the shop as much as I can, and cooking foods. Fumiko is as enamored with the bunnykins as ever. She crawls over to his cage, stands up and talks to him/stares for around 30 minutes at a time. Sometimes he hops over and nuzzles her fingers with his nose, and she squeals in delight. :) It's very cute.
Yesterday she put away a half a banana, and 3 Mum Mum's at one time. I told Kai she had banana pie. :P She's been eating good. She doesn't nurse much during the day, but she nurses a lot at night.
I keep getting all these spam comments on WP for Phentermine no prescription needed, blah blah blah. Seriously there are 161 spam comments sitting in queue right now and I just deleted over 200 a few days ago. Give it a rest people!
I really miss last week. We had so much fun. Someone suggested a trip to Vegas next year, which I'm totally going if everyone else does. Sigh. Good times.
But, back to the nearest past, I've been relaxing. I'm srsly going to need to do something more productive. Having a real summer vacation is hard. I'm thinking of sketching up some things to sell at my unestablished etsy shop. But like a quote from The Dark Knight, if you've got a gift---why hold back? Or, something to that effect.
Anyway, I'm going to get something to drink.

Fumiko has been just amazing! Lately she's been waking up every morning, happy. She wakes up smiling and giggling, and talking. She crawls over to Kai and slaps his face, and smiles, then she crawls over to me and climbs on me and looks into my face and talks and smiles. It's so sweet and adorable and wonderful and I love her! She's been doing an excellent job at crawling. She's got it down so well. She's been using everything she can get her hands on to pull herself up and try to walk. It's incredibly cute because miss Fumi-chan, will pull herself up onto say the couch, and she'll stand there holding on and start squealing, and doing this high pitched cute talking and say "Baa baa baaa ba!". It's so cuuute.
Kai hasn't been getting off work until around 10pm, so we've been staying at the shop to wait for him. Last night was my moms weekly bible study class. John brought Martian Child to watch. It was a great movie by the way. :) But Fumiko kept pulling herself up to stand with her walker, then she'd stand there and talk and squeal, and be incredibly cute and proud of herself for standing. She does that when she's proud of herself. She lets out high pitched squeals and "baa baa baa" or "boo boo boo".
She's also learned that if she wants MR. Fuzzypants to stick around and lay by her she has to pet him gently. How come a 6 month old can figure it out by my 6 year old can't? :wtf: Anyways, Kiyoshi has been laying by her on the floor and she just sits there and pets him as best she can and he lets her. It's very cute! Also, last night she packed away about 200 fresh blueberries. o_O She loved them! She loves fresh fruit, and fresh veggies. If I'm eating anything that is soft enough for her to eat in the way of fruit or veggies, she's in my face trying to grab it. She's been eating good. You can tell she's starting to get bigger and gain weight finally. :) She has also been drinking out of a bottle occasionally. Which I'm incredibly glad for. With her already eating, and refusing to drink out of a bottle or a sippy cup I was concerned that were gonna have a problem with weaning her. But it looks like it won't be an issue. :)
See I'm worried about nursing her when she gets teeth.. She already bites, hard, and a lot. It hurts horribly even without teeth. I keep telling her if she doesn't stop biting, she's not gonna be nursing when she gets her teefers. My nipples are not teething toys thank you. -.- So I'm glad that she'll use a bottle now. It eases my worry. :) It's also nice because it allows someone else to feed her when need be.
And I have photos to resize and upload. Hopefully I'll get to them tonight! :)
