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 […]
Six Months
Better late than never. The DIL post sort of took the place of the six month post. Owen has two adorable wittle teeth on the bottom now and more are coming in on the top. They are adorable and dangerous. I can’t believe he hasn’t drawn blood yet the way he bites down on my […]
A Day in the Life of Lissy 2015
6am, you wake up, in your bed, this is good. You got at least 6 hours of real, albeit, interrupted sleep. Win. Owen’s still sleeping. You decide to go back to sleep. 6:09, you hear a fart. Maybe he won’t wake up. You hear him fussing. Crap. You hear a bigger fart. Poop? You pick […]
Guess the Poo!
Bryan and I have been together 9 years. Crazy. Drove through Rutgers yesterday and we couldn’t believe how much older we are than the students now. Visited his parents yesterday, at my parents’ right now. Owen has been sleeping on my lap for an hour and a half. I have to pee. He didn’t sleep […]
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 […]
