I have so not been in the mood to blog today. It is HOT y’all. Can I just say, I am so glad to not be pregnant in this heat! It is hard enough snuggling with a hot baby all day. Momma’s sweaty, baby is sweaty – we have pit stops every couple of hours…
Cameron
The Swaddle Saga
A while ago (June 22nd to be exact), I put Cameron in his bed, and he was fast asleep. Normally he gets restless in his bed until I swaddle him and then he’s out. I had been considering de-swaddling for a while, but I just didn’t know how to go about it. So, when I…
Dear Cameron: A Love Letter to My Four Month Old
**Disclaimer: I really wrestled with whether I should post this today. Today Cameron is four months old. This really is meant to be a letter to my son about the last month, not just a gimmick for a blog. And so, for the first time, I have written about what is going on that has…
It was bound to happen
I’ve mentioned this before, but Cameron loves to stand. In fact, we can hold this three month old little boy’s hands and he will (slowly) walk a few steps. There are lots of times when he simply isn’t happy unless he is on his feet. On Saturday afternoon, the Hubs was hanging out with Cameron,…
Splish Splash
After we brought Cameron home from the hospital, we bathed him in the baby tub we had. Cameron… tolerated it. Barely. I must admit, I was pretty jealous of all the moms who said that their babies loved bath time. For me, bathing Cameron was a chore. I specifically put it off, then felt guilty…

You Make Me Happy When Skies Are Grey
Every once in a while, the full reality of life hits you and you realize that life isn’t always gummy baby smiles and warm snuggles and millions of kisses. Sometimes life is full of aching hearts and extreme loneliness and crocodile tears. And on days like today, when all I want to do is crumple…
Mommy’s FloorBaby
My baby used to love to be cuddled. If he wasn’t in somebody’s arms, he was unhappy. You couldn’t leave him laying on the floor or laying on the bed or sitting in the bouncy chair or sitting in his car seat. You couldn’t even leave him swinging in his swing at his grandparent’s house…
Dear Cameron: A Love Letter to My Three Month Old
Dear Cameron, This is the first of what I hope is many letters to you throughout your lifetime. I want you to look back and always know how very much I love you and how I loved you from the first day I found out you existed. Today you turn three months old. You will…
The Cutest Thing Ever
I might have mentioned it before, but I LOVE being a Mom. I always knew that I would love to have a baby, but I never imagined it being this great. Sure, there have been some frustrating moments, but my little boy has recently figured out how to show me that it’s all worth it:…
