Wordless Wednesday - cheap toy

Linus has an earache!

We’ve got the plague around here.
Nothing worse than when a kid coughs into his hand and then touches your computer mouse. Or your sandwich. UGH! Actually I take that back. I can handle gooey babies for the most part…well, mine at least. That is, until she sneezes in my face. [...]

Wordless Wednesday - A dog and his bone

Simon had another seizure last night, luckily not as bad as his last one, but we went from a year between them to just a few months between these last 2. Not good. He’s fine now, about to get a bath, but we’ve got some more stinky stuff to clean up, although thankfully [...]

In case you needed some CUTE today!

I needed a dose of cute today. I can’t explain why but listing the 10 finalists for the Virtual Baby Shower was stressful. I’m ecstatic for the finalists, but I also feel like the purveyor of doom for those who weren’t chosen. It was physically draining to finally commit to posting the [...]

Happy Halloween - My Little Pumpkin

I couldn’t get her to stop chewing on her shoe. If I took it away she wouldn’t sit still. So she got to keep the shoe. She was pretty patient about the costume. I have a bone to pick the “The Children’s Place” though - that’s what brand the costume is. [...]

What’s That Smell?

I can’t believe Monday is over! I am so swamped and behind on things. I don’t have a job but this blog is quickly becoming a full time endeavor! It feels like I am at work holding out for a vacation that will never come. Just when I think I am [...]

How does your baby grow?

Time and again I marvel at the change I witness in my daughter. Today she spent an hour putting a red plastic triangle shape into a pink cup.
Put triangle in cup.
Shake cup.
Triangle flies out of cup.
Repeat.
Seems like a common enough occurrence with a baby, right?
Well, when it is the very first time [...]

She adores her big brother!

It’s not the best picture because I took it from far away in a dark room, but I just love it! I’ve been “catching” them playing together lately. Abby adores Jake and I know he looks forward to the day she is older and can do puzzles and play games with him.

So, how [...]

The case of the mysterious falling tablecloth and 3 little steps!

A week or so ago we put out the few Halloween decorations we have including my $3 Wal-Mart tablecloth. It doesn’t even fit my table, but that didn’t stop me.
See?

Wordless Wednesday - Stealth

(BTW, it’s hard to tell but she’s actually crawling with that thing on her back - well she was until she ran into the chair, and she got under that thing all on her own)

Babies are weird.

Today, Abby actually stood on her own for about 30 seconds. She didn’t realize she did it, which is why she did it. She was standing in a sort of karate stance (wonder where she got that from) with her feet spread apart and her knees bent. It was so cute but [...]

A baby sleeps…

The other day, Abby was playing on the floor in the living room, pretty much by herself, while I sat not too far away doing some work. At one point I looked over and she had fallen asleep. She had never done that before, in fact she usually has this whole rolling around [...]

Fuzz is not food!

I find myself saying “fuzz is not food” daily around here. I don’t remember Jake putting this much “found” objects in his mouth.
Yesterday she grabbed a hold of the roll of toilet paper while I was getting her ready for her bath and had a piece in her mouth before I could [...]

Sick!

Abby has been sick the last couple of days and it has not been any fun! Jake never got sick as a baby and so this is sort of new territory for us. I will always wonder and likely regret (even though it was out of my control) that Abby ended up on [...]

Vote for Abby and her new hat! (the old one left a dent in her head, shhh…)

She’s wearing her new hat that is too big because her old one left a big ol’ dent all the way around in her head the last time she wore it because it was too small (yes, an unreported Accidental Mommy Moment).
VOTE FOR ABBY
If you vote for her, leave a comment and let me know. [...]
