Oh, The Sounds of Babes
Anna has entered a very vocal stage. Since she has been such a quiet baby I wasn’t sure what to expect from her as she entered the more vocal babbling stage of babyhood. Though she is still a pretty quiet baby things have certainly gotten a lot louder around this house lately. She has discovered [...] |
Sitting Like a Big Girl :)
Look who is looking at the world from a different perspective these days. She still isn’t super stable sitting up on her own, and in the blink of an eye she will topple over. But, each day she seems to be sitting up better and for longer before she face plants. The girl likes to [...] |
A Musical Soul
Rhythm pulses through her veins. Melodies fill her brain. Her days are filled with music and dancing. A day without dancing isn’t a day worth living as far as she is concerned. She is a musical soul. From a very young age Maya had an ear for music. When she was maybe 8 or 9 months [...] |
Best Sisters, Best Friends
I can already see the love pass between them when they look at each. I can already see the inside jokes they will have. I can already see the tag team approach they will create to cause trouble for their parents. I can already see a lifetime of friendship. These two seriously adore each other. [...] |
Penguin Parade at the St. Louis Zoo
Fun in Missouri Penguin Parade at the St. Louis Zoo. Every Sunday afternoon during the months of January and February (weather permitting, of course) the penguins at the St. Louis Zoo take a little stroll. It is an enrichment activity for the penguins. A chance to see something different, stretch their legs and put on [...] |
Talking to Children About the Death of a Pet
Our pets are a part of our family. Often times they are our babies before we have actual babies. They are often our children’s first friend, and the bond they form together is a strong and beautiful one. Sadly, a child’s first experience with loss often comes when the family pet dies. Talking to your [...] |
6 Months
Anna celebrated her half birthday over the weekend. That’s right, my baby girl is already 6 months old. It feels like she just joined our family but at the same time I can’t remember life without her. 6 Month Stats: Weight: 14lbs 15oz (28th percentile) Height: 25 3/4 inches (50th percentile) Head Circumference: 16 1/2 [...] |
First Bites
Anna had her first taste of “real” food this week, and by “real” I mean food other than the boobie milk she has been consuming for the last 6 months. And, just like her sister before her, she doesn’t seem to be a huge fan of the non-boobie milk food so far. Although, each time [...] |
Our Little Contortionist
As Anna quickly approaches her half birthday she is learning all sorts of new tricks. The babbling has really picked up, she can roll easily from her tummy to her back and she is even starting to be able to sit unassisted for very short periods of time. One trick that I thought for sure [...] |
The Christmas Plague of 2011
When I look back on this holiday season I’ll remember one thing for certain, the plague that invaded our family and just wouldn’t go away. The Christmas plague of 2011 is a doozy and it holds in to you with its germy little hands and just won’t let go. Maya was the first of our [...] |
