I haven’t posted on Xanga in so long I don’t even know where to begin! Frankly, I don’t even know how old these pictures are!
I was in China for 10 days. 10 LONG days! It was weird to be so far from my husband for so long. I go everywhere with him so I was very lonely. Moreover, I missed my baby! I’d never been more than 11 hours away from him… so needless to say, it sucked! (Although I partied like a rockstar… the only things missing were drugs and prostitutes). The night I arrived, we shed many a tears cuz for whatever reason he wanted nothing to do with me. So for the first week, Colin either totally forgot who I was or was completely and utterly pissed at me for abandoning him. Either way, I was heartbroken.
This was Colin sometime in February/March. This was at the peak of his eczema. He was so miserable I bought him a car (won’t work when you are older and smellier so don’t even try it). He loved the car for all of 2 minutes… and then he made this face. How bulsangheh! Dr. Evil and I slept on the floor on either side of him for months. We wrapped his hands in his socks and we’d have to wake up every hour to grease him up like the holiday pig that he is. Basically we pinned him down all night so he wouldn’t scratch his face in the middle of the night. He’d scratch cuz it was itchy which would in turn make the eczema worse, therefore making it itchier… vicious cycle. Now he’s on steriod creams which are controversial but effective.
baby fat is so cute. How come no one thinks it’s so cute when I expose my piggy legs (save your comments – Kai, Jay, Dr Evil and anyone else who doesn’t want a piece of me! *shaking fist in the air*)?
Colin loves music class. He loves other babies. He’s always trying to hold their hands… and poke their eyeballs. Speaking of needless poking… Colin likes to stick his teeny tiny fingers into every orifice of my face. He does it most when I’m feeding him…. and now I have the biggest mother of all zits right smack under my nostril. I kid you not, it was pulsating today. I’m afraid to sleep for it might rip out of my face like in the movie Z or X or some letter at the end of the alphabet. In any case, my zit hurts, and babies are grubby gross little creatures.
Colin loves his cousin Ryan. Ryan loves Colin too except that he doesn’t like to be touched by Colin. It’s ok ryan, Colin is a disgusting grubby gross little creature.
Colin loves to feel like a big boy now. He wouldn’t eat his jarred baby food. He’d swat the spoon away. Nasty fellow. But if you dilute it with water just enough, he’ll drink it. So I give him “juice” only it’s chicken and rice or vegetable dinner. mm mm good. He loves cheese and yogurt.
He’s almost a year! I can’t believe it! I just want to rewind time and do it again! This has been the best year and half of my life…. Colin rocks. And I swore I’d never be one of “those” parents but I have to say it… Colin is the cutest baby in the world! I know all parent think that… but in my case, it’s true!

awwww omg… your writing still cracks me up. what a cutie face… especially the last one..
must be so glad his ezcema is getting better, thank god. there seems to be a increase in ezcema in infant. wonder whats causing it. but really glad he’s a lot better! pics of him are adorable!
omg colin is super super cute! i’ve had excema my whole life. i’ve used lots of diff steriods and drugs to control it but for over the counter, aquaphor is pretty good although diff things work for diff people.
he has the most expressive eyes!! so cute. awww i feel so bad for him with his eczema!
i think u and andy are crazy bitches. clearly zoe is the CUTEST CHINKY EYED BABY IN THE UNIVERSE! HOLLA!
hahahaha….colin is sooo cute. omg he looks sooo miserable in the eczema photo. poor thing. how many months was he when the eczema kicked in? is it totally gone now?
@PetiteMandoo - this isnt a contest!!! (yes it is – my baby is the cutest dammit!! hahaha) btw, bring your baby to the city, i will cut her nails for you. i’m really good man! i cut L’s nails at least once a week and so far, no problems.
Z – i love his pic on the invitation. and i loved his pic on his xmas card. just wondering – i dont think i have ever received an xmas card from you before….only after your baby was born. =P i guess you are one of THOSE parents now. haha. but i’m guessing i’m not far behind.
btw, i dont know why i am using my weddingrl xanga login. i must be going crazy from the lack of sleep.
@weddingrl - hahahaha…..ok it isn’t a contest….CAUSE IF IT WAS ZOE WOULD WIN!!! PUNK ASS! WOOWOO!
@PetiteMandoo & spacemama - Sorry ladies. Colin’s already winner of 2008. Good luck next year.
As for the xmas card, you are correct… that was the first year I sent cards out…. you’ll get it come Christmas season….
Colin is such a cutie! I have friends whose kids have eczema… it’s heart-breaking to see the babies suffer! Have you heard of Elidel? It’s a non-steroid cream that’s supposed to be very effective. Maybe it would be good for Colin? Anyway, he’s a cutie-pie~~~~ Too bad Joshua and Eden live too far away to be playmates with Colin!
Colin is soo cute…hope he is getting better now
@susiesuperstar & @PetiteMandoo - you girls have been cracking me up all day!! thanks for the laughs. its hilarious to think that you girls think your babies are cuter than mine! hahahahaha.=P
@spacegrl - oh my pwecious hormonal andy… i don’t think. i KNOW you effin bitch. holla! zoe rules and colin and ur baby drools! (doing the cabbage patch)
what is your baby’s name? did i ask u already?
hello, I was referred to you by petitemandoo, because my daughter also has bad eczema. I added you as a friend so that you can read my xanga…we’ve been using steroid creams, but at this point she’s been using them so much we have to start looking into non steroid creams…we still havent’ found the cause of it…do you have any suggestions for me?
