I haven't been average weight for my height (or what I call thin) since before Brandon. I used to exercise a lot and the first year Steve and I were married, I actually looked pretty damn good (which for me is in the 140s). Since then, I have still exercised pretty regularly - always keeping... Continue Reading →
Within an hour of me waking up after Holden was born, Steve and I vowed we would stop at two children. We were not going to have any more. We weren't going to talk about it anymore - two was it. The experience was traumatic and we have said from the beginning that two boys... Continue Reading →
Brandon has been introduced to sidewalk chalk. He got a bath right afterwards.I'm afraid sidewalk chalk is the new bubbles for me (which means I hate it).
Holden had his two-month doctor appointment yesterday. He is in the 95th percentile for weight at 15 lbs, 2 oz. He is in the 92nd percentile for height at 24 3/4 inches. He also has a big head. He is our chunky little guy.
Holden's hair is starting to lighten.I looked back at Brandon's pictures to see when his did.You can see it started to lighten at seven weeks...and by twelve weeks, he was blond. Check back in a few weeks to see Holden's golden locks!
Just a couple quick pics of my boys sitting together nicely.

I was not planning to turn this afternoon into a photo session.But when my boys are together, they are so adorable.I don't have to pose them or stage them at all. Brandon just likes to be around Holden now and is always cheesing it up when there is a camera around. This is really them.... Continue Reading →
Today Holden is eight weeks old. It's hard to believe that he's going to his 2-month doctor's appointment already next week. He is getting pretty chubby. He's got Michelin Man arms and chipmunk cheeks.He has slept for 8-10 hours at a time three out of the last four nights. I am ecstatic about this. He... Continue Reading →
This week has been a real turning point for me. This week I have let go of what I will call my "lazy parenting." That is to mean, I was basically babysitting Brandon before. This week, I started to finally do something about raising my children responsibly. For example, it has been no secret that... Continue Reading →
