Five months sounds SO big; so much older than four months. Sniff, sniff. And this past month seemed to fly by, probably partly because we were out of town for a week of it. Another rainy 17th to make photography challenging. I took a million or so pictures, but the vast majority were out of focus, owing both to the … Continue reading
(I know posts have been in short supply this week. Week before finals, so things have been crazy for Dave, which means I’ve been holding a baby even more than usual….things should calm down soon. I have biggish weekend plans!) So I woke up this morning, and I suddenly had a four month old! He’s worked hard this past month … Continue reading
A few disclaimers and notes first. I certainly don’t claim this list is definitive, and, in fact, I hope you guys will chime in with additions for me to check out. And there are plenty of close runners-up that I’m leaving out. And I’m sure I’m forgetting some that I would have put in if I’d only remembered them. And … Continue reading
It’s a little bit incredible how big this baby is getting. He’s chubby and delicious. He goes to bed by 7:30 every night, and doesn’t wake up until at least 4 or 5 most mornings (and then goes back to sleep after nursing). He almost never takes naps longer than half an hour or so. He loves books, and kicks … Continue reading
Abe turned two months old on Sunday, and I finally got a chance to finish editing the pictures from his two month photo shoot and write this post. I’m loving the pictures I got this time. He’s making so many different expressions now, and his improved head control offers up a whole new world of possibilities for poses. And check … Continue reading
One month already! I didn’t do four week pictures, since he was going to be a month old just a couple of days later. I can’t believe he’s already outgrown weekly photo shoots! Abe at one month is awake a lot more than he used to be. Fortunately, he’s generally in a pretty good mood as long as someone’s holding … Continue reading
When you turn 3 weeks old, you get a brand new backdrop! I was using a sheet from our bed. But at some point I realized that we were eventually going to need to put that sheet on the bed. That finally happened this week, but not before we picked up this gray throw at Ikea. So that worked out … Continue reading
We had been planning a trip to Ikea this weekend for awhile, and then I had the brilliant idea that the best time ever for an Ikea trip would be during the Superbowl. The plan worked beautifully. I have never seen Ikea so empty–at least not on a weekend. It’s the first time in a long time I’ve managed to … Continue reading
I can’t really remember managing to accomplish anything else today, but I did get Abe’s two week photo shoot in. I fear things are going to get a little repetitive with the giant seal until Abe’s old enough to do stuff like sit on him and hold him and fling him around gleefully. But, look, this week I put WORDS … Continue reading
Abe is one week old today! And, in another milestone, we all survived Dave’s first day back at work. At work, Dave received cake and gifts. At home, there was fussing and lots of milk. Really, it was all fine. Mostly it just seemed to go very fast and I couldn’t get anything done. Which is pretty much how I … Continue reading
