Miranda. I have a beautiful daughter, Olivia Lucia. I have a handsome husband, Chase. We are living in Texas. This is my journey of raising my daughter and all that comes with it.

Hello again!
I missed all of you! I went and looked at all of you and can’t believe how much I have missed. I can’t wait to show all of you how much Olivia has grown.
Olivia is grinding her teeth now. Three teeth! I guess that’s why she’s been just a little cranky these past few days. She’s not too bad when it comes to teething. I was pretty surprised to see a new tooth. She likes to bite me though. Hard.
Also, no more bottles. Wooot! She is loving the Sport Grip by Nuk. It has this straw like spill proof nipple on it. Also, the Stage Four Insulated Sippy Cup by Nuk. That one has a spill proof thing that’s shaped like a smile. That’s all for now. I’m not trying to buy her too many different kinds. Two is enough. I’m going to try that 360° one that’s suppose to mimic a cup but, spill proof. Then, I don’t have to do anything with nipples or sucky things again. But, we will see how Olivia takes it.
New favorite food. Cuties. Holy moly. She has consumed so many in the past four days, it is pretty insane. We have been going out and exploring different things here on vacation, those Cuties kept Olivia’s tummy happy through it all.
You don’t ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It doesn’t matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance — you don’t have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small. It’s one thing if a person owns up to their behavior and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and continues to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go.

It took me 24 years to figure this out, but once I did I was free.

day 2 of vacation.
We went to the zoo. It was completely empty, so it was perfect. Right when we got back to the entrance it started thundering. By the time we started driving back to the in-laws, hail and rain came down with such power. There was also strong winds moving the car. It lasted about five minutes. Then the sun came back up. LOLOLOL! That weather was so drunk. It realized how drunk it was and went home.
Olivia got to see a real bear. Her face was priceless. She loves all the bears. A black bear. Two. It was so perfect!
I bought a new laptop. It’s charging right now. I have a webcam on it. Who’s ready for me to make a complete embarrassment of myself? I would do a q&a video, but I’m sure I would get close to none questions. Lololol. I will make videos of Olivia and I with our video camera and upload them. I want to record us for a whole year, everyday. It will be a nice little project for me. Also, I can watch Olivia grow through a video recording. This is an idea that needs to happen soon. They might not be special to anyone else, but to me they would be everything.
I’m back. (:
Olivia is now walking, fully walking! She laughs with excitement each time to stands up to start walking. i can’t believe she finally reached this milestone. I love watching her explore throughout the house with the new mobility she has now. Sometimes she crawls when she wants mommy or daddy to hold her. She does this really cute thing where she hugs your leg to signal to pick her up.
Also, kitchen utensils and pots has become a favorite of hers. Pans will end up in her room. Lol!
We are going to Sea World next week! It is going to be so much fun watching Olivia discover everything there. I can’t wait to see her eyes pop out with excitement. I haven’t packed, and we leave Sunday to the in-laws! Lololol,
I need a break.
I will be back when I feel like I’m ready.
Love.
Olivia turned 10 months old today! I will do an update on her tomorrow. (:
Goodnight loves.
I wish I had a shoulder to cry on right now…. ):
I can’t keep doing this to myself. I’m working 45+ hours this week. I’m not even getting the pay for overtime. This is ridiculous. I can’t quit. I need the money. I take all these shifts for nothing. No extra pay. No benefits. Nothing!
I’m sure I will get over it….
My hair now has a purplish red color tint to it now. I love it. It doesn’t look unnatural at all! It’s only temporary though. I might just have to go permanent.
Lololol. It is not the greatest. I rarely ever go shopping because nothing fits. Or, I have to make the awkward walk to the little girl section. Target is probably the only place I actually like something from that section. I love thrift store clothes also. I wish I had a little more curve. But, no. I have a body of an eight year old girl.
But all aside. I love my body. I make it work. (;

I’m going now. This hair is getting a change. Lol! I hope I do this right!
What’s a good boxed dye? I really want to color my hair. I have never colored it before. I want a red tint.
Time for work. 5 hours only. No big deal. (:
We are going on a family trip. We were going to Nevada, but things changed. Anyways, we are staying in Texas for the trip. I’ve never really traveled any where besides New Mexico. So….. Where should we go? Only Texas. My husband says San Antonio would be a good one. I’ve never been. So…. tell me. Where?
