We have about the same 10 books in our rotation. Some classics, some obscure and odd. But we read them none the less. I’m sharing in case you need some new books in your library. Even though its annoying to have your kid ask for the same ones over and over, I actually kinda like all of them. Now if… Read more →

Chloe {9 months & ready to move}
9 month updates Weight: 17 lbs. 11 oz Height: 28″ Teeth: 4 top teeth coming in at once. Hair: Finally coming in. Looking just like Alex’s coloring. Eyes: Still blue Tricks: Waves “bye-bye”, does a fake cough if prompted, standing in place, full on hands & knees crawling, and splashing like a maniac in the bathtub. Clothes: Wearing 6-12 months.… Read more →
Pears and Potatoes
Here is my latest concoction. Roasted sweet potatoes with lemon, evoo, and a touch of Cheyenne pepper mixed with steamed pears. I like mixing a fruit with a veggie so that each cube is nicely balanced. I do apples with either spinach, carrots, or squash. I did a super weird in the other day…squash, apples, one clove of roasted garlic,… Read more →
Sleep
Is there anything better than two sleeping children? ANY sleeping children for that matter. All I’m going to say (while knocking on every piece of wood in my house) is that things are getting better around here. Alex has been putting up a shorter fight and has been staying asleep all through the night. Also, since getting over a wicked… Read more →
Chloe {7 months}
Ok, almost caught up here. Man the holidays are just a time suck, right?! I don’t have a firm weight, but if I had to guess, I’d say its around 16 to 16.5 lbs. She feels like 20. She is now eating 3 meals a day with four 6 oz bottles mixed in. I have started the weaning process due… Read more →
Chloe {6 months}
I’m behind on these posts, so here was the latest at her 6 month mark…. I just took C in for her 6 month check up and she is 15 lbs 12 oz (50%), and 25.5″ long (40%). I forget the stats, but her head clocks in at 70%!! Jeez! Sadly, I think that’s my genetics. Her newest talent is… Read more →
Chloe’s first teeth!
I noticed the poked through right at the beginning of the month and within a week, both bottom front teeth were making their way out. I’d like to attribute the last 7 months of her bitchiness to teeth, but we all know that one won’t fly. I pray this brings some reprieve. Fingers crossed! The teeth just about to break….… Read more →
Food
I have tried something new with Chloe that I didn’t do with Alex. Homemade baby food. I tried ONCE when Alex was a baby and it was kind of a chore, so I gave up quickly. Now sure why I got a bug up my ass about it this time, but I really… Read more →
Chloe {5 months}
This post is a bit tardy, since she’s now 6 months, but whatever. Better late than never. Stats & Talents: Not sure how tall she is, but she is about 14 lbs at 5 months. I feel like she’s really long, but she’s only in about 6 month clothing, so I know she’s not giant. She is now rolling… Read more →
Alex update {27 months}
The boy has been a tad neglected over here lately. So I thought it was overdue for a post on his royal cuteness. He has changed so much in the last 6 months. Other than of course becoming a big brother, he is now in a real “big boy” bed, he has ditched the pacifier, and Thomas the Train has… Read more →
