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…
Tale of the Vansishing Sleeping Baby
Not so long ago and not so far away lived a sweet little baby that was always content. He smiled and he ate and he slept like a champ until one day an evil witch cast a spell on him. It was a cocktail of a curse with a dash of teething, a splash of…
Jude’s Attempt at Breaking a Guinness World Record
My child is crazy and I love it. You seriously never know what to expect when he walks into the room. Today while I was playing on the floor with Noah, Jude walked into the room wearing only a pair of pajama pants. He needed my help turning the matching top right side out. After…
Noah’s 6 Month Stats
Today we had Noah’s 6 month check up and I’m happy to report that he is 100% healthy and thriving. The doctor was impressed with his strong muscles and size. He is in the 90th percentile for his height at 29 inches. And he is in the 95th percentile for his weight at 21.5 lbs…
Jude’s Chore Chart for 2012
With the new year comes new goals. And now that Jude is getting older we have started to implement daily chores and goals for him. I am a firm believer that children should learn personal responsibility at a young age. So even though Jude is only 3 years old he can learn to take responsibility…
Does Santa Wrap Presents?
Joe and I have been discussing weather or not Santa wraps presents or not. When he was growing up all of the presents magically appeared under the tree. Everything was wrapped and labeled “from Santa”. When I was growing up our presents from Santa magically appeared spread out on the sofa, unwrapped and clearly displayed…
Striped Pajamas
I love special Christmas pajamas. When I was growing up we never really had dedicated pajamas to wear on Christmas but I think it might be a tradition we start with our kids. Joe’s mom bought these super cute striped pajamas for the boys. Jude calls them his candy cane pajamas. They wore them Christmas…
Noah Asher – Month Six
Six Months Old That’s half way to a year. Seriously A quick picture right before he fell over. Noah is on the move. He can’t crawl and can’t even sit up that well yet but he’ll steamroll right over anything or anyone to get what he wants. We take him for his check up right…
My Emergency Trip to the Dentist
So I spent my Friday sitting in a dentist chair. Luckily, it was a really comfortable dentist chair with massage and heat. For the past few weeks I’ve had some on and off tooth pain. So I went to the dentist last week, a dentist that was recommended to us by one of Joe’s co-workers….
Sad Sick Baby = One Tired Mama
Our family is passing around a cold and it’s no fun for anyone, especially me. Last week Jude was Mr. Sicky and while it briefly slowed him down he usually just gets mean when he is sick. He hurts and gets mad about it. So his regular 3-year-old tantrums where off the charts. Thankfully, he…
Raising a Spirited Child: Personality vs Discipline
Before I had kids I thought I would be a great discipliner of my children. I would say NO and they would have a great fear and respect for me and immediately listen and obey. HAHAHA. Oh boy, I was soooo wrong. Now when I tell Jude NO he looks at me and laughs. I…
