Chris and I try to maintain a healthy balance of family time and some independent time. I’m not going to lie, it’s a lot to balance sometimes. After working all day long, I usually just want to spend time with my boys and soak in every single second. But the nights I spend out with…
Oscar Says Hi
Oscar wanted to say something real quick…
Oscar is 8 Months Old
Seriously, could these months come any faster or more furious?? At dinner the other night, Chris articulated what I’ve been feeling. Oscar’s milestones happen and rather than us waiting with baited breath for these crowning achievements, they happen and we look at each other and say, “How long has he been doing that???” It’s really…
Oscar’s a Crawler
There’s not much to say about this except, “wow”. I can’t say this is a complete surprise. Oscar has been army crawling his way all over the place and gets up on all fours, but doesn’t go anywhere. On a rare occasion he’ll attempt to crawl forward, but the attempt dies after one knee moves….
Oscar is 7 Months Old
These months are coming fast and furious. We’re already in the second half of Oscars 1st year. It’s insane! Our little Stinks bug is an active one! I could have told you that while I was still pregnant with him. That kid came out kicking, so I knew I’d have my hands full. Here are…
Our Big Boy is Three Years Old
It’s really hard for me to believe Walt is three years old. What a great age where he’s still little yet has independence (stubbornness??), yet he’s not old enough to be in big-boy school yet. I know that life has a tendency to speed up as we get older, but I think adding a 2nd…
6-Month Stats
I just wanted to document Oscar’s stats, as we took him in for his six-month visit today: Weight: 20 lbs 2 oz (88%)Height: 28.0″ (92%)*Head: 18.3″ (+100%) *I swear the nurse said 29″ when she measured him, but I was juggling baby at the same time, so I could be off and that seems like…
Christmas 2013
Christmas is full of memories for us. Even before we had kids, this was a special day. Chris even proposed on Christmas Day way back in 2008. Here we are five years after that moment and celebrating our second baby’s first Christmas. While it was a momentous day for Oscar, there is no denying that…
Oscar is 6 Months Old!
It’s a really busy time of year, but I definitely couldn’t overlook marking the six-month birthday of our littlest guy. As I’ve made nauseatingly clear in all my post about Oscar, I use the word “littlest” oh-so loosely. This kid is a beast. I was reading back at how I described Walt (who is also…
Walt-isms – 2 years 11 mos Edition
Something happens when your kids turn two (or at some point in that year). They stop learning words and start learning meaning. Walt’s ability to understand context, humor, and timing when he speaks is embarrassing hilarious genius astonishing. It’s only fair (for future ammunition, of course) that I do a better job of documenting his language….
