I have a question for mommies (and daddies) out there. As many of you know (or don’t), I’m a bookworm. I will research the crap out of anything. Before buying big things (appliances, cars, etc), it’s not out of the realm of possibility to create a spreadsheet comparison. That being said, you can imagine what…
Optimism
This will be a slightly unusual post for me. I was so incredibly moved and fascinated by the Diane Sawyer special about Gabby Giffords, the Arizona senator who was tragically shot in the head on January 8, 2011. I’ve had that special on my mind since the second I began watching it. I thought a…
Walt is TEN Months
Walt is already in double digits?! Wow. I’m in shock. It feels like I was pregnant just yesterday (though part of me feels like that was a totally different life). We now have a full-fledged mover who is the coolest, funniest, happiest, sweetest little thing in our lives. At 10 months, Walt does the following:…
Dylan Brady Harris – WELCOME!
I must say, I sure love this time of being a grown up where we’re constantly welcoming new life into the world. It definitely seems that 2010 and 2011 were record years for people we know having kiddos. Last Thursday, Mr. Dylan Brady Harris (newborn son to my high school friend Renee (Chafitz) Harris and…
Doits, Dats, and Uh-Oh
You can put down the phone. No need to call the asylum just yet. I haven’t quite lost my marbles. My blog title simply reflects Walt’s inventive little language. He has developed the cutest little babble. He is using inflections in his jibberish, so it sounds like a real conversation. He’ll even ask nonsense questions….
Walt’s First Halloween
I must say, Walt’s first Halloween was a huge success! By success I basically mean that he went along with all our hoopla with very little push back. It was like a tame episode of Toddlers and Tiaras (only not tiaras, or tutus) As most of you saw, Walt dressed up as a monkey (appropriately…
First Yamboree
As you can see, I’m so far behind. A couple weeks ago we made the trek to Gilmer for Walt’s first annual Yamboree. (For all my fellow grammar Nazi’s, I realize that “first annual” is not possible… it’s not an annual occurrence until it’s happened more than once. Well, I promise this will be an…
Walt is CRAWLING!
Ok, I admit. I really thought Walt would either army crawl until his 16th birthday, or just skip traditional crawling all together and go right to walking. But, like most things in Walt’s life, I was very wrong!. When I brought him home from daycare last Thursday, I nonchalantly plopped him on the floor. He…
Nine-Month Stats
Just saw Dr. G! The visit was really great. Walt entertained everyone. Naturally, he was not excited about his HepB shot and his flu shot. 😦 I hate how hard he cries… he gets all hiccupy and sad. 😦 Here are his stats: Weight: 23lbs 1 oz …….80-90%Height: 29.3 in ………….90%Head: 19 in……………….off the charts…
Walt is Nine Months Old!
Yesterday, Walt officially turned 9-months old. He has now been on this earth as long as he was in my belly. We have a very curious, social, and attentive little man on our hands. Here’s what he is up to after nine months of life: He wears (get ready for this) 18 mos clothes. I…
