Ok, so bonafide bad days do happen. I haven’t had one like this since I was in college and locked my keys in my car twice and locked myself out of my house once and missed a final because of it- all in the same day.
So here goes: Woke up to baby crying in her [...]
On Tuesday my little muffet went to Children’s and had her little extra bit removed. Since Nina also has a slight tongue tie, they were recommending that we have her frenulum clipped while she was under. After much research I decided that it would be best to wait. But you know how surgeons are. They [...]
I’ve been a little under the weather today. Literally and figuratively. Really now, the weather here in the northwest is out of control. Its on the books. There have been 10 mostly sunny days since November. (I resisted the urge to write that in all caps.) That in itself is a dismal number. Saturday though [...]
Just the day before Jeff and I were debating about when Roo would take her first steps. I said it would be two weeks, Jeff said a momth. Well we were both wrong.
We finally had a day to spend togther. Jeff has been working such long hours its hard to even get a hug in let [...]
I took Roo to the park today after a long walk with Wywy. I put her in the baby swing and she just LOVED it. In fact, after just a few pushes she was doing it herself. She really got the mechanics of “going” it was a beautiful day out and she was able to [...]
At last! After nine months Nina (and I) finally slept through the night! It was pretty serendipitous. Two nights ago I said out loud,”I’m going to ask Nina to sleep through the night tonight!” that night i was up for one feeding. Then last night (drum roll) she slept straight through without even a peep! I guess she got [...]
I took Nina and Wyatt out for a walk on the trail today. It was very cold and clear and beautiful. Most days when I go for a walk- no matter my mood, I’m uplifted and my head clears immediately. One thing I’ve grown to expect is the feeling of gratitude as I walk or [...]
Nina laughing the most yet in her life! After a wonderful smiley day Roo just didn’t want to go to sleep. She kept trying to play and talk. I set her to bed but she fussed until I came up to see her. So i picked her up and we sat in the chair together. I fed [...]
Last Wednesday we got Roo all dressed up in her holiday finery and took her downtown to Nordy’s to get her first Santa picture taken. She was a perfect angel. Great Santa too. He was a total Pro and the staff was warm and talented! We vascilated about going downtown or keeping it on the East [...]
Well its Nina Roo’s first half birthday! I’m honestly mixed on whether to celebrate half birthdays at all. Does it dilute the specialness of the real birthday? Or does it just add more merrymaking to the year? hmm. I dunno yet. But just in case, I thought it would be a good thing to at least celebrate [...]
