(Please take note: While inside this post, all italics are meant to be read with an English accent. Make sure you watch the video to understand why.) Our house is full of sick men right now. Have you ever seen a sick man before? It is pretty much exactly like this: Yup, my husband has…
Childhood
Thinner Thursday
We finally got a huge reprieve from the heat this week. We’ve definitely had some hot days, but they haven’t been unbearable and they’ve been bookended by glorious rain storms. Rain is beautiful and refreshing and cozy and relaxing. I love being snuggled in bed hearing the rain pounding outside. On nice days, I’ve been…
Refreshed
I find it very hard to leave my baby. Okay, sure, I’ll leave him home with my husband for half an hour while I go to the drug store, but anything more than that and I have a very hard time. Here’s the thing though – You might have heard me mentioning that in order…
Mommy’s Raspberry Man
My baby has a new trick. He’s been drooling like a faucet for about the last month and a half. With drool comes bubbles. And raspberries. Imagine how much more exciting the world is when you discover that putting your tongue between your lips and blowing makes noise! My baby has become a noisemaker fountain…
Mommy Pictures: A Day in the Life
No one can ever tell me that this job is easy. My Hungry Monster still wakes up at least twice, sometimes three times a night. We normally wake up at 1 or 2am, 4 or 5am, and then sometimes at 6am. The last wake-up is usually because my baby is gassy or otherwise uncomfortable. I…
Thinner Thursday
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…
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…
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…
