I have dreaded writing this post that has been bubbling up in the cockles (hehe…hehehe…hehehehehehe, I said cockles) of my brain for the last few days, but today I realized that to NOT do this post would be a disservice. To you. To me. And to any other mother who somehow happens upon this website [...]

My big man

Hi, my Poot! My dedication to writing has taken a serious back seat as you can see, but I am pledged to get back on track, because you are doing so many funny ass things that to miss out on them and not get them down to remember for years to come is a huge [...]
Growing Pains
Posted in Adjusting, Life Lessons on June 6, 2009 | 1 Comment »
You and I have both experienced our share of growing pains lately. Sometimes in the midst of all of that, it is hard to see all the good stuff about all of the new things going on. So here’s a list so I don’t forget. I love that when you get up from your nap, [...]
Six months….

As I type this, I am listening to you on the monitor. Every peep, every noise makes me squinch down in my seat and pray that you are not waking up. You have been rough lately, my boy. Our day starts anywhere from 5:30 to 6 AM every day – whether I work or not. [...]
The Sleep Nazi

Dude. OK, so you have started this really lovely deal where you wake up once a night. I am so okay with that. You eat well and rather quickly. I change your urine soaked diaper (seriously, how much liquid do you expel a day? it’s staggering). Then you WERE going right back down to sleep. [...]
Recent observations

These are just small things you have done or are doing now or whatever that I don’t want to forget because you are just changing so quickly and frankly, I no likey. 1. For a while now, you have enjoyed my fascination with your toes. When I’d be making dinner or whatever, I would prop [...]
Update of sorts

We have had a ROUGH few days buddy. It started less than a week ago when you caught a touch of the pink eye. Because you dared get it on a stupid ridiculous “holiday” Mardi Gras, we had to wait until Wednesday to get a Rx. Initially you handled things like a champ but in [...]
It’s time to start earning your keep.

So your dad and I are in the process of collecting all the necessary data in order to turn it all over to our beloved tax man so that he can handle all that nightmarish math crap and we are realizing just how much we made last year. WHERE IS IT? When you are older, [...]
It’s not been the easiest thing.

Your dad and I really wrestled with the idea of how to have it all. How on earth could we make two incomes, provide health benefits for all of us and still somehow see you as much as possible? By the time you are old enough to read this, I will have worked from home [...]
First nap in the crib

Look how tiny you are. Sigh. I’m not ready for this yet, buddy. You already exploded out of the newborn diapers and are in size 1. It’s just too much, too soon. Slow down.
