I’m pretty sure I’m the only one counting, but this is my fourth post in as many days. Yep. I’m pretty amazing. I was about to say I’ll have another one tomorrow, but my in-laws are coming into town tomorrow evening, so I’ll probably be madly cleaning instead of writing a post. Okay, so Abe is ten months old now, … Continue reading
I love this time of year–the whole beginning of fall through Christmas corridor–but it sure is hectic. So here’s my wrapping up Halloween before moving on to Thanksgiving and Christmas (and a bathroom makeover!) post. First up: costumes! Two out of four kids decided on Doctor Who costumes this year. And I decided on a Doctor Who costume on Abe’s … Continue reading
I had this idea that I was going to do one more grand Halloween post and be done with it. But then I started thinking about all that said post would entail, and it sounded really….long. So today you get the last of the pumpkins–specifically our trip to the pumpkin patch plus the big pumpkin carving–and then this weekend I’ll … Continue reading
Abe turned nine months old on the 17th, and Dave turned 38. Birthday buddies! I’m terribly behind on doing big kid pictures….taking just the baby pictures has gotten sort of exhausting now that Abe’s so mobile–so this month I didn’t even try, but I got DAVE pictures (with Abe) instead. Next month I’ll give all four of them a … Continue reading
We had almost a hundred great projects linked up to the Pumpkin Parade last week! Thanks so much to everyone who shared their projects! Since this was my very first time co-hosting a link party, it was also my first time getting to pick features. Which was fun, but also a lot of responsibility. What if I picked the wrong features?! … Continue reading
Abe turned eight months old on Tuesday. Tuesdays are the days we run around like mad all day, and, of course, it was cloudy…I almost bagged the whole thing and waited for Wednesday, but I decided to take a few minutes Tuesday evening and see what I could get. And then I took a few more Wednesday (when it was … Continue reading
Seven months! I think I’ve officially abandoned his white t-shirt AND using his nursery as the default photo shoot location. It was cloudy again, and it’s much easier to get decent light in the sunroom. His six month check-up happened after I did his six month post, so his stats from that, for posterity (because this is the closet thing … Continue reading
Back before my now 12 year old, Ari, was born, I would tell people we were planning to use cloth diapers and encounter skepticism. “That won’t last!” older, more experienced parents would tell me. Naturally, I took this as a challenge. So, from the beginning, failure wasn’t an option. Admitting defeat is not something I’m good at. In light of … Continue reading
In impossible to believe news, Abe is already six months old. Just a few months ago, he looked like this: Now he sits up all the time, he has TWO TEETH (which I did not manage to get a picture of today), and he’s busting out of that white t-shirt he’s been wearing since his newborn pictures. In fact, we … Continue reading
Before I get into the details of customizing high chairs (spoiler alert! I drew an octopus on it!), a few thoughts on the Antilop, in all its modern plastic affordability. There is not any high chair, no matter how expensive, that really gets me excited. I get excited about totally out of budget baby clothes. I could spend a fortune … Continue reading
