Dear Cameron: A Love Letter to My Six Month Old
**Cameron turned six months old yesterday.** Half a year. That’s how long you’ve been an outside baby, Mr. Pants. That’s how long you’ve been in our world. That’s how long I’ve been able to hold you in my arms. Half of a glorious year. The other night, you and I were snuggling in bed, and…
Too Many Choices: Convertible Car Seats
I am indecisive. I may say that I like to have options to choose from, but in reality, I do not do well with many choices. Ask my husband. He will tell you how annoying it is to sit with me at a restaurant while I have to read the menu over word for word…
Mommyhood Survival Guide: Weddings (Complete with Mommy Pictures)
Can I tell you a secret? I was totally dreading my sister’s wedding. It wasn’t because I disliked her fiancé-now-husband. No, I am so thrilled to call him my brother-in-law! It wasn’t because she was a terrible Bridezilla either. No, I was dreading her wedding because I had no idea how to take care of a…
Ta-Da!

Dear Cameron: A Love Letter to My Five Month Old
Monster Tooth, Five months ago today, you became an outside baby and somehow, a very little you made the very big world a better place. I had no idea how much you would change my life in these past five months. Because of you, I am able to experience the joys of motherhood. Because of…
Sharp Little Bugger
It is tough being the Mommy of a teething baby. Cameron started drooling in May (around two months old). From that point on, I noticed lots of teething symptoms. Some people told me “Oh, he can’t be teething – babies don’t do that this early”, but I knew some things they didn’t. I knew that…
Mommy and Daddy’s Great Sleep Debate
So, Cameron moved to his crib last Monday night. Kinda. I guess I should start at the beginning, because honesty? This one simple change of beds wasn’t so simple. When Cameron came home from the hospital, he spent all of his nights in the cradle that I spent my first nights in. We have a…
Thinner Thursday
I’ve tried to work out before. Do you know what has always been my downfall? Getting sick. Each and every time I get myself into a routine, sickness strikes and I fall out of it, never really getting back into the swing of things. Do you remember what I have been dealing with during this…
