I Always Said…

I can’t believe my little guy is 11 months old.  1 more month and I won’t be using months to describe his age.  I know most moms use months to describe their baby’s age until they’re about 6 years old but that drives me bonkers.  Like when you ask a mom whose child is clearly… Continue reading I Always Said…

6 Months Ago

6 months ago they placed you in my arms.  This tiny, sweet-smelling, squawking, ball of soft skin and peach fuzz. Every Mama knows that at that exact moment her life is changed forever.  She knows that now she’ll now carry a bag much too large for her shoulder, wear spit-up stained clothes for days on… Continue reading 6 Months Ago

Happy Mother’s Day To My Mom

You Were There Anonymous You were there when we took our first steps, And went unsteadily across the floor. You pushed and prodded: encouraged and guided, Until our steps took us out the door… You worry now “Are they ok?” Is there more you could have done? As we walk the paths of our unknown… Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day To My Mom

Tripp – Month 5

We took Tripp to the Dr. this past Friday for his 4 month checkup.  He weighs 15.5 pounds (about 50th percentile) and is 25 inches long (about 50th percentile).  Everyone keeps telling us how big he is so we were surprised he was only in the 50th percentile. We started him on a little rice… Continue reading Tripp – Month 5

Baby Bear is 3 Months Old!

Dear Baby Bear, Here are a few things I want to remember about you at 3 months old. You love to nap to Ray LaMontagne, and sometimes sleep in a pose that resembles praying.  I like to think you are. You smile all the time now and are giggling more often than your 2nd month.… Continue reading Baby Bear is 3 Months Old!

Month 2.0

It’s the end of my baby’s second month of life and the time has flown so fast already.  I felt a little sad when I packed up his first Christmas outfits and newborn size onesies and pajamas.  A few memories from his second month of life. You slept through your entire Dedication You really don’t… Continue reading Month 2.0
