Dear Alex,
Thank you for being such a good buy at Casey’s birthday party today. I know you had lots of fun, I can tell by the grass stains. I am glad that you and your godfather had time to hunt for bugs. He says you are an excellent grass hunter already.
I also appreciate you taking […]

Sometimes I wonder if I am the only one that gets frustrated we doing and redoing and redoing and redoing what my toddler has undone. I often wonder if it is better just to let him destroy the house and then clean it up after he is in bed.
In the time it took me to […]

I have to say, I have had an interesting day being home with a sick baby. I have learned a few things though.
-If there is a single pile of poop in the backyard, my son will find it. Not only will he find it though, he will inevitably step in it.
-When you are 16 […]

Alex’s cold is going down into his little chest. If it keeps up, its going to mean another trip to the doctor. I hate having to take him in. It reminds me how helpless I am to really help him. When he got so sick in January, it was really scary […]

I spent most of today running errands and getting things done. It was good but I think I wore the little monster out. His cold is kicking his butt in a big bad ugly way. He slept ok last night with the help of some cold medicine but by late morning he was already asleep […]

Alex was […]

Alex’s new thing is “ut’s at?”. To everything!
Alex: ut’s at?
Me: The door
Alex: ut’s at?
Me: the dog
Alex: ut’s at?
Me: the tv
Alex: ut’s at?
Me: the door
Alex: ut’s at?
Me: that’s still the dog
Alex: ut’s at?
Me: Alex, honey, that’s still the tv
And so it goes… I do love his little voice. It […]

I think my toddler has hit the terrible twos. 8 months early. Everything is a fit. Everything is SO dramatic. Everything is a battle. If this continues until he is 3… well, he may not make it to 4! (kidding, kidding)
My phone was used by someone *ahem* to clean the […]

I love babywearing. When Alex was tiny and had colic, it allowed him to sleep and me to regain a little sanity after the crying. Now, it allows me to do things when he is being clingy and still have my hands free. It means we can go out in public and I don’t fear […]

Alex and I have been eyeballing this rocking horse the last couple months. I splurged today and bought it for him. Hey, that’s what credit cards are for right?
I am breaking my own no picture policy because well…. how can I not show him off?
Priceless I tell ya.

The pigs must have flown. Comcast came today and fixed the cable access thingie. Bout time! The guy was really nice too. The only downside was that the doorbell woke Alex up from his nap.
Alex is officially 16 months old today! I am amazed at how fast my baby has grown. 16 months ago, I […]

Its already Friday again and despite being sick, I have big plans for tonight. Start off with a gourmet meal with my man, suck down a couple cold ones and then its time for WWF. Cap the whole thing off by climbing into bed after the man has gone to sleep.
Ok, so in less hyped […]

Oy vey.
Alex decided last night that it was neccessary to nurse all night. No, really. All. freaking. night. Every attempt made by me to pull away was met with a whiney shrieky ehhhhhhhhhhh. He hasn’t be this clingy in I don’t know how long. I am really touched out. Add to the tiredness the fact […]
