30 Weeks
This week marks 30 weeks. The homestretch. Little girl is growing and has a lot more growing to do. We’re still teeterting back and forth between names. There are a few standouts, so now all we need to do is buckle down and make a decision. Like L, she’s an active little thing. Will doesn’t […]

Life Lately
This picture pretty much sums of life lately… The laundry continues to pile up on the bed. Dishes pile up in the sink. Will is busy with school. I’m busy with work and restyling my blog. L is busy being a two-year-old. Sleep has become an afterthought. We’ve been working on finding some semblance of […]

Two
And then she was two. Today is L’s second birthday. Since I worked today, we celebrated before I left with a big girl birthday brunch of blueberry pancakes, watermelon juice, and cupcakes. She opened her presents from us… a few books and a tea set. Tea parties ensued for the remainder of the day. When […]

Rainy Day Photoshoot
It’s been a bit murky around these parts lately. Spoiled with leave-the-windows-open-go-to-the-park type weather the last couple weeks, when restricted indoors we’ve been, for lack of a better word, bored…. But one form of entertainment has captured us – literally. Photography. To be specific, toddler photography. The pictures below were taken by L. They are […]

Obsession
Elmo is my daughter’s first true love. She likes everyone on Seseme Street. Abbey, Big Bird, Grover, Ernie, Cookie Monster……..and then there’s Elmo. She’s reeeaalllly into her Elmo. For instance, during a Halloween party last October, L saw a little boy wearing an Elmo costume, ran towards him as fast as her little legs could […]

Baby Hangover
LBD didn’t sleep the entire week we were in Texas. She didn’t sleep the week after we returned either. It was the worst she has ever slept in her entire nine months of existence. Then I got sick. And then the baby got sick. And then the husband. We were a cooped up bunch of […]

New Game
These pictures don’t do what’s going on here much justice. LBD is pressing her face into the pack n’ play to make funny faces. After every face she made a face, she would push away from the meshing let out a belly laugh. We did this all day yesterday. Enjoy!

Big Hair, Big Teeth
LBD and I flew back home from Texas on Sunday. A break from the snow to warm our toes and warm our souls was just what the doctor ordered. Springtime Lone Star-style is my favorite time of year there, especially when the bluebonnets start to show their petal brims. By mid-April, the land turns wild […]

8 Months
Miss Goober McGee is eight months old today. When I didn’t think it was possible to love someone so much, I wake up at dawn, go to her crib and look into those sleepy eyes starring up at me, and my heart swells so much I’m surprised I can still breathe. We don’t celebrate each […]

I Like You Like This
I like you like this, Sweetheart. Playing with your toys, babbling to your teddy bear, and chasing your kitty cat. Happy baby. Today was rough. I made you eat broccoli. You hate broccoli. Not as much as peas, but still. And teething is the pits. That right front tooth was making you work for it […]
