Jude Aidan – 3 and a half Years Old

Jude Stats Age: 3.5 years Weight: 35 lbs Height: 38 inches Fav…

The Making of My Meal Plan – 2 Week Plan

Every 2 weeks I do our big trip to the grocery store. My goal is to buy enough food to last us for 2 weeks (with the exception of perishable items that will need to be restocked after the 1st week.) While I shop I’m meal planning in my head. We have a handful of…

Portion Control is my Enemy. The Yum Yum Dish is My Friend.

A few crackers here, a bunch of grapes there and a little bit of cheese. Throughout the day I find myself grazing in the kitchen, eating not because I’m all that hungry but just because. I typically don’t eat foods that are bad for me it’s the quantity of the foods that work against me…

Jude’s First Brain Freeze

Yesterday was a gloriously warm spring-like January day. (We’ve had a lot of those lately.) So I decided we needed to take full advantage of this warm weather and get out of the house. Lately, Jude has been a bit of a homebody so it took some persuasions (aka bribery) to get him into the…

Words that Sound Worse Coming From a Child

Oh God! That is Jude’s current favorite phrase. It started as “Oh Gosh” but that Gosh rapidly evolved to God. “Oh Gosh” was cute but “Oh God” made me cringe. I’m not sure where he picked up either of the phrases. I don’t think I use either of them but it only takes one time…

Tummy Time with Infantino

Noah was a big baby at birth, 11lbs to be exact, so he developed skills a little fast than most kids his age. He was rolling to one side at 2 months, which meant he had self imposed tummy time a lot. I would still get on the floor and play with him and encourage…
