Five Months

He likes being tickled, playing peek-a-boo, throwing things off of his highchair, doing situps. He hates naps and being fed via spoon. He loves grabbing my nose/mouth while he’s eating which wouldn’t be so bad if he didn’t really dig his claws into my skin. It’s absolutely adorable though when he looks at me, pats […]

Life Other Than Baby

I forget if I posted about this, but Google contacted me a while back asking for my resume for a systems admin position. I don’t know what on my linked in profile would make them think I’d be interested in that, but still mildly flattered, because, you know, Google. I really have the best job […]

Adorable Things Owen Does

Owen’s been such a pleasure to be around lately. I think the worst is behind us! He still wakes up at least two or three times at night, but when he smiles, I don’t care. I actually enjoy spending that extra time with him. Owen giggles are pretty much the best sound ever. Other adorable […]

Four Months

I didn’t mean to be quite so negative in the last post. It isn’t that bad. OK, when Bryan was sick and I was sick, it was that bad, and he’s had some awful days, but otherwise we’ve been OK. Especially since I learned a trick to get him to eat nice when he’s cranky […]

Rough Start to the Year

It’s been a tough couple of weeks. Really, we can’t believe it’s only been a couple of weeks. Owen has been super fussy during the day and at least he was sleeping through the night, bit he’s not anymore! Bryan was sleeping with him in the basement, but he got sick, so I took over […]

New Years Past

Every year before the new year begins, I look back at past recorded years. Earlier entries have been edited for length. Current year’s at the bottom if you want to skip to that.

A Look Back at 2014

My year end summary isn’t going to be as detailed as usual, but most of my blogs were about my pregnancy or Owen anyway. January: hosted a small dinner party, found out I was pregnant, gave a great toastmasters speech about the day I met Jerry on TRL, threw a bridal shower for Nitika, snowed […]

Twelve Weeks

Only a few more days with my sweet baby before I go back to work :( We took him to the mall last week. He loved it! All the things! I think he gets bored at home sometimes. Such an ordeal taking him out though, especially since he’s the only baby who doesn’t love car […]

New Year Survey 2014

1. What did you do in 2014 that you’d never done before? … Gave birth 2. Did you keep your New Year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Maryam and I did do two hackathons this year, go us! This year I want to do my best to balance work, family and […]

Ten Weeks

He changes so much every day. I took him to work on Wednesday and he was so good. He hardly fussed at all. He was so interested in all the things and was smiling at people. Since then he seems to have his days and nights pretty much straightened out, though I’m not really getting […]
