To Suck or Not to Suck

To beat the inactivity of driving everywhere and sitting at a desk all day, I’ve been running in the morning. Although, the word ‘beat’ implies that I’m winning something and unless its weight gain, the two times I’ve gone jogging during the month we’ve lived here is hardly triumphant.
Regardless, I’ve finally completely weaned the baby. [...]

Biting Nastiness

Its questionable that my one year old is unaware of his ability to bite. He does not bite his favorite mommy parts, but he will unleash his jaw power on anything and any one else. “Ouch!” can be heard from any given family member at any time so long as he is around.
He just bit [...]

The case of the missing baby clothes

My 5 year old never dealt with competition for her clothes. But then again, we didn’t have all these naked stuffed animals when she was just a babe.

Happy Easter

Today, the weather was beautiful. There was a light breeze. It was a cool and sunny 70 degrees. Everyone was bright and cheery, happy to celebrate the holiday in the warmth of Spring.
My family woke up sick with sinus colds. We are in the company of sneezes, dry throats, and snotty noses. Yep. If you [...]

My son loves me <- this much ->

My little bouncing baby boy was so happy to be in my arms after whine-crying for me to pick him up, he squirted out a whole muddy puddle of poo onto my shirt.
In reaction, I  wiped it off with a baby wipe, folded my shirt up as to not touch the spot, and sat down [...]

Apparently my family themed this week “Down with Sleep”

What?! Did they join a new world order when I was cleaning the bathroom? I swear all three of them want to banish all socially acceptable sleep hours and any established trust I had in a nightly ability to sleep.
After passing out on the sofa mid late- night work session, my thoughtful husband woke me up at [...]

Speaking of no Sleep…

I’d already brought the baby into my bed from his crib when he decided to wake up and begin squealing in playful pleasure. His noise woke the girl who, instead of going back to sleep because it was oh, 3am, sprang up as though it were mid day and proclaimed “The baby wants to play!” [...]

Teething: Oh, Bother.

Do you see those menacing white indications of yet another milestone in the growth and development of my 9 month old’s ongoing journey of life? They are running a two tooth campaign against any chance of sleep I may have otherwise been gifted.
Should coffee be a player in this awful game of sleepless pain, I [...]

Baby Burn

This is what bad parenting looks like. The other day, I was cooking dinner when the baby crawled to the oven and tried to open the bottom door. I panicked because our gas oven was on so I snapped the door shut. He immediately started crying as he does every time we block his intentions. [...]

Late night snack

This little guy goes off all through the night like a broken alarm clock, but I can only ever meet this delicious little face with smiles.
