Conversations and Crawling

Jonah is now holding conversations with us! Where did my little baby boy go? Almost 2 weeks ago now, this was the 1st conversation of any real length that he had. I was sleeping in with Carly a little bit, and he and Jason were up getting breakfast in the kitchen before church.
Daddy: Hey Jonah, [...]

Scrapping Anyway

Despite the busy weekend with potty training, I still found some tim (usually w/ Carly in my arms) to work on my 2008 family scrapbook. I skipped over 2007 for now so that I could get caught up on the current stuff while it’s fresh on my mind. I actually got halfway through with the [...]

Oh no! Elmo, here we come!

As you all know, from a previous post on the subject, I have tried to keep cartoon character infatuation at bay, in order to keep the more expensive/lower quality “licensed character” items out of our house. Well, I’m here to admit that I’m bringing this soon-to-be Elmo infatuation on myself, and I’m even asking for [...]

Got Alot Done

With my mom hanging around and helping out last week, we got WAY more done than any couple with a nearly 2 year old and a 1 week old should! My mom is a major DIY handy-woman, and just couldn’t contain herself when she came to stay. By the end of the 1st day she [...]

This Thursday

This Thursday is going to be some wild crazy fun, I tell ya! I volunteered to host our playgroup’s Easter Egg Hunt Party at my house this Thursday, and so far, from the looks of the RSVPs I’ve gotten on the e-vite, it looks like this may be our biggest turn out for a playgroup [...]

The Start of 2006

I’ve started working on the digital scrapbook for 2006 today. I’m only 3.5 years behind, right? I had intentions of having a family scrapbook for every year. Traditional scrapbooking, with cutting paper and gluing photos is time consuming, not to mention expensive, so I have recently turned to digital scrapbooking. The idea being that maybe [...]

Too Many Bubbles!

We had quite an exciting bathtime adventure this past weekend! Jonah wanted to have a bubble bath, and normally I do too, but for some reason I didn’t really feel like getting a bath with him that night. So I sat on the outside of the tub and started running his bath water. The nice [...]

Baby Eviction Date Set!

Given the way things went down when I was induced with Jonah (being induced, 1 day after my due date, for 44 hours and dialating to 10cm only to have him not be able to come down because he was too big, and end up with a c-section anyway) my doctor and both are hesitant [...]

Scared of Bugs?

I have no clue one earth what triggered it, but just in the last two nights, Jonah has started having a real fear of bugs… namely the moths and such that gather around our front porch light at night. He will try to jump out of Jason’s arms, kicking and climbing up him, just to [...]

Jason’s New Hairdo

I gave Jonah a little trim last night, with the new hair clippers I got for Christmas, because he was starting to get a little shaggy. Jason’s been complaining about needing a haircut again too, but he’s never let anyone near his head with clippers, so I’m not sure what convinced him this time. He [...]
