Happy First Birthday Owen!!!!
I can’t believe we’ve been parents of this amazing, little guy for a year now! What lucky people we are! I could never have imagined how much fun it would be watching him play and learn and how my heart would melt every time he hugs me or says “mama.” <3 Love you so much! […]
Eleven Months
We’re already planning the next Disney trip and it over a year away. This will be trip #20 for me and trip #1 for Owen <3 We’re just so excited to take him. I wonder what he’ll be like a year from now. For now, he’s intent on walking. That’s his new favorite thing. He’ll […]
Why I Love My Job
I’ve probably written this post before, but I felt the urge to gush. I am so lucky. Granted I picked a really good field to go into, but still, I have THE best job. You know you have good work/life balance when you look forward to going into the office in the morning and look […]
Ten Months
He’s going to be a toddler before I know it. He’s been getting into all kinds of trouble this month. He’s up the stairs in a flash every chance he gets, climbing into the dishwasher, getting into drawers. Yesterday he was standing on the bench chewing on the top of his pack n play and […]
Nine Months
And loving life. Not so much sleeping. Just when you thought sleep couldn’t get any worse, enter the nine month sleep regression. Is it teething, is it gas, who knows? Then there’s the times he wants to play, though that’s gotten a bit better. At least he doesn’t wake up wanting to play these days. […]
A Look Back at My 20s
So, I’m turning 30 29 again on Friday. As many of you know, Back to the Future has been my favorite movie since forever so I’ used to think a lot about what my life would be like in 2015. 30 seemed so so so far away. I don’t think life is too far off […]
Eight Months
I’m confused because I thought I had already written and published this post. Well, what I said was that he’s gotten much better at tummy time. He’s trying very hard to crawl. Or maybe he’s trying to walk by going from his tummy to standing, it’s hard to tell. He can pull himself to standing […]
Happy Mother’s Day!
I had no idea how great having a baby would be. I knew I wouldn’t sleep and he’d cry and he’d poop, but I didn’t know how much fun we would have. I didn’t know how much he would like walks or how magical his giggles would sound. I didn’t know rolling a ball on […]
Seven Months
Somehow he’s gotten even worse at sleeping. We’re thinking it’s the solids upsetting his tummy. Gripe water seems to help sometimes. We cosleep, but every time he wakes up, he wakes up crying and insists we sit up and switch sides before falling back asleep. I’ve been getting around four hours every night. I could […]
The Difference a Couple Weeks Makes
“Mmmm-a mmmm-a.” Owen’s gone from popping to “Mmmmm-a,” probably because we get so excited and repeat “Ma ma!” I think right now, both Bryan and I are Mmmm-a, though he says Dadadada once in a while. He was sleeping horribly most of the week, but last night was pretty good. I woke up a few […]
