Even though my son is now 1, I still thought I would share my birth story. Not because I think I might forget (I don’t think I could ever forget), but more because my birth story is highly unusual and involved several medical interventions. I love reading everyone else’s birth stories but they usually always […]
We had the best 4th of July this year. It was times like this that make me so glad we moved where we did. Last year we moved across a bridge to a different part of the bay area away from our friends and family and had a bit of a difficult time adjusting. We […]
Well my boy, we made it. You are 1 big guy. And a big guy you are! We had a lovely party to celebrate but more on that later. Weight: 23 pounds Height: 30.5 inches Milestones: Walking! Yes my dear you walk. You started walking about a week or so before your first birthday and […]
I hate the feeling of wanting something to be over. I want to be one of those people who always lives in the moment. I have to admit though that this is becoming increasingly hard this June. We are so busy. Tuesday was Steve’s birthday (30!), this Wednesday is my birthday (30!) and then on […]
Wow. 11 months. You talk a lot and it is awesome. Your favorite new words are, duck, oh good, and yesss. You still say dada like a champ and have started to say mama a little better. You have started saying something that more resembles dog then do-do. You are smart. You eat! You finally […]
There were a few big milestones this past week. Starting with my very first Mother’s Day on Sunday. My mother was actually in town visiting from San Diego, and I haven’t spent a Mother’s Day with her in years. We didn’t do much, I cooked pancakes for breakfast and we went to a little part […]
Lord help me. We have entered into what I like to call the “diaper wars”. Every time I try to change that child’s diaper it is a full on battle. Screaming, kicking, full-out hysteria. You would think I was trying to set his foot on fire or something. I try to give him a toy […]
Oh kid, you make me so happy. You laugh all the time. Everything amuses you, thus amusing me. You have also turned into a bit of a love. You gave me your first wet kiss and then proceeded to give yourself 3 in the mirror. You hear my voice and you quickly crawl to come […]
Being a working mom, I treasure my weekends. A weekend is time to spend with my family but it is also a time to get stuff done. Sometimes it can be difficult to balance chores with fun but this weekend we nailed it. This was one of the best weekends I have had in […]
Last Monday I found SJ eating baby Vicks vapor rub. The kid climbed up his changing table, opened one of the baskets (he didn’t knock it down, just opened it), reached in, pulled out the Vicks, took the Vicks out of its box, and THEN unscrewed it. He was covered, his hands, feet, face. I […]
