Girl’s Life

So Chris reached a new parental low yesterday, and since it’s so hilarious, I thought I’d share. I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that since I work full-time and commute, he is the cook of the house. Love this! Anyway, now that it’s fall and all cool outside at night, he makes this amazing apple-cinnamon-butter dessert […]

All around me people are getting sick. We all had the family cold in our house for the past week. Runny noses, achy bodies, sneezes and sore throats. Of course, Sophia got it first and was kind enough to share.
Why is it that the little ones always get sick first and just when we […]

…4! That’s how many steps my TODDLER took today!
Sophia took her first steps this afternoon when I got home from work. (Isn’t that sweet that she waited for me to get home so Grandma didn’t have to lie and say that nothing eventful happened today?)

I’ve been practicing the whole walking thing with Sophia a […]

If you haven’t noticed, I love this time of year. The weather cools down. The leaves start to brown and fall. The nights get crisp and awesome-smellin’. And…the Fair comes to town. This weekend we tapped into our inner carnies with full force.
Chris and I hadn’t been to the Fair in a couple of years. […]

Yesterday marks the year anniversary of the major scare that sent me rushing back to the hospital only a week after delivering Sophia.
Last year, I posted only vaguely of my experiences. It was still too close to home to give details and describe my emotions about the whole event. I didn’t want to stop […]

Sophia has always had rhythm. That’s why Chris and I always joke about her being a rock star who will grow up to be our little drummer. So it doesn’t surprise me that Sophia dances to all music. She bops her butt up and down with the beat, and of course it’s unbelievably cute. But […]

If the title isn’t fair warning that I’m going to talk about about pumping and breasts in this post, then I don’t know how else to warn you. (That’s mostly for my brothers. If they were disturbed at my use of a breast pad as a makeshift coaster before, I’m sure this won’t help […]

The day we get to celebrate your first year of life is finally here! And what a year it’s been. I really don’t know where to start, except to say that man, I am so glad that you’re a year old today and not just a few hours old, like 12 months ago at […]
