So Girl-E is summing up to 40 pounds now. How ever did she get to that weight? I’m so happy she nursed for 17 months and ate like an ox until her 2nd birthday, cause the girl’s just decided that she doesn’t want much of anything to eat these days. “No fanks!” is all I get. [...]
So, this is the deal. Why do some people get SO worked up over having a toddler tethered to me? Some call it a “leash”. So be it.
Doesn’t it make sense that my 2 year-old wants to walk while we’re out? Does it not occur to you, oh, creepy stranger, that while she’s walking she’s [...]
So! What’s the deal with my toddler not eating meat? She’ll tolerate chicken in small doses. I’m talking 3 bites max, and only if she’s being enticed with caesar dressing dip or mustard. Tonight I gave her a little ground beef on the side of her black beans and rice. And woa… the whole night [...]
Do you buy your babies’ shoes in the size they’re in our a thumb width’s bigger? I go for bigger, even if she looks like she’s wearing Goofy’s shoes in the beginning. As long as she can walk without rolling on her ankle or tripping up, we’re set. I get annoyed when a specialty children’s [...]
Ooh! Oprah… my favorite. She was on Tivo and the topic was on Motherhood. Yes!! I was so excited to see it on my list that I immediately pushed play. Knowing full well that it may not pan-out, but a girl can try. Plus, in the moment, it seemed like I had an opportunity to [...]
So my baby girl is on her way. I can hardly write this post today. She’s learning how to use the toilet seat. OK, lump in my throat. She is TOTALLY into wearing her Dora panties, albeit on top of her diaper. She just moved from her highchair (happy to pass the torch over to [...]
After E’s nap today, I brought her downstairs. I whispered, “Shhh… baby boy’s sleeping.” She nodded and we tip-toed over to the big red couch for quiet book time. I read my Twilight book for like 15 minutes or so. She read her Dr. Seuss ABC mini book, one of my faves, for sure. We [...]
My poor husband and I are outgrowing our bed. Well, we aren’t, but we are when the monkeys are in it! We have a queen size, relatively new and I tell you this. We don’t need a new bed. But I’m having visions of a king.
So, I’ve decided to mark my calendar for next year, with a big reminder on the month of February, that reads… “Proceed with Caution, Vicks and Honey”. Let me explain. For goodness sake, the monkey tribe has been sick THE WHOLE MONTH long. It pains me to hear my baby boy and girl cough [...]
