VOC Weekend
Gotta rug for the kitchen finally. Holy crap the odor is nasty! Lock yourself in there without an open window and you might not be coming out. Makes me wish we’d spent the extra duckets for the hand woven wool one we were looking at. I guess either way we’re at risk of stroking out […]
More Milestones
At three and a half months Abigail’s turned over onto her stomach twice now. Woohoo! I guess. I don’t know. I really don’t pay attention to these things in regards to anything else. I just think it will be nice to say when she’s 17 or something – “Hey Abbey, I remember when turned over […]
Happy Travels
Our field correspondent, Dad, had this to say about his Saturday night. “Saturday night I went out to get a bite to eat. In my travels I passed by the Rusty Nail and the parking lot was overflowing. On my way back I thought why not stop in and see some Nashville night life. Walked […]
The Food Routine
Ever since CJ was diagnosed with cancer (actually what led up to the diagnosis), he’s been very “particular” about eating. He just stopped eating all his food at each meal. Which eventually led to weight loss, which led to the vet and the final diagnosis. We tried all kinds of things. We tried warm water […]
Satruday’s Big Adventure
Since Abigail and afternoon naps don’t seem to mix very well, we decided to all go out and do some shopping. First up was Baby’s R Us. We’ve been decorating Abigail’s room (more on that later) and needed some more stuff. I popped her in the bjorn and away we went. Abigail and I spent […]
Gretchen’s Back
At 5:17am this morning Jen gets back into bed after Abigails 4:30am feeding. She cuddles up close with her hands, knees and feet pressed against me for warmth. I think “Ah, this is nice” and start to fall back asleep, when she nudges me three times with her fists. “Huh? What are you doing?” “Get […]
We got 11 Nipple Rings! That’s Awesome!
Was Jen’s response to my ebay prowess at snagging a Medela breastfeeding kit in the last minute. For those that don’t know, these are nipple rings or bottle cap bases. Yeah not real interesting once you know. It was still a good deal. – b
First Mother’s Day
A little late, but here’s how it went down. I got up early and did all the morning chores. Then when Jen got up to feed Abigail, I started preparations to feed Jen. She had mentioned pancakes or waffles earlier in the week, so that’s what I was going to make. Scrambling around a bit, […]
Drool Darling
Abigail’s hit that point where she’s drooling all the time. It’s great to make progress, even at the cost of a soaking-wet outfit. She’s also started to recognize and interact with people across the room. That’s really cool, though tough to sneak in and out of a room with her around and not have to […]
