At the hospital, they must have swapped out my baby with a French baby. Because Holden already does his nights. Two months old, and he sleeps until morning! Until this week, he woke up between 5 and 6 for his first feeding, but twice now, he has slept until 7a! Then, of course, because I... Continue Reading →
Woman of leisure
If I were returning to work, this would be my last week of maternity leave. Monday I would be at work: waking up at six something, dropping the kids off at daycare at seven something, then rushing home at five something to start dinner and spend a few precious hours with my kids. I would... Continue Reading →
baby weight
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 →
Just two?
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 →
Chalky
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).
2 months
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.
Goldilocks
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!
Sitting still
Just a couple quick pics of my boys sitting together nicely.
thank you, mama
I have been making Brandon say "thank you" every time I've done something for him for months now. I don't know how sincere it is, when I'm prodding it out of him, but he says it just the same.But today was the first time he said it on his own, without me telling him to.... Continue Reading →
Two years; two months
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 →
