Cupcakes and Commentary

Since we are now introducing table foods, I have been trying to come up with interesting table foods for our little cupcake to eat. I had looked at the little jars of baby macaroni and cheese at the store and found that the list of ingredients was long and complicated. I then started looking through [...]

We were so excited when my Aunt P and cousin Stephie decided to come visit for a few days this past week. It was so fun to have them here and we enjoyed introducing A to them. Besides just hanging out with all the kids we also went to Bridgestreet and had lunch, just the [...]

A has learned how to pull himself up! He has been trying for about a week and he finally figured it out. It came as quite a surprise because he decided to pull himself up in the crib at my Mom’s house. He was taking a nap and apparently decided to wake up and stand [...]

I had to pass this tidbit of information along to other Moms who may be more savvy than me and already know this, or my have missed it like I did! When my little cupcake started eating meats mixed in with his baby food I had a really hard time finding different types. I also [...]

When I was little one of my favorite snacks was English muffin pizzas. In fact the year I turned seven I had a luau birthday party and we made English muffin pizzas with all sorts of topping choices. The other day my mom and I were looking for something for lunch and I put these [...]

He is in the 70th (around there) percentile for height (29 inches), weight (22 pounds), and head circumference. They said he is perfectly proportional . He is doing great, he didn’t have to have any [...]

Today we visited the Space and Rocket Center to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of Apollo 11′s landing on the moon. We and about four thousand other Marshall Space Flight Center employees trekked through the Davidson Center, and the outside areas to see the different exhibits, astronauts, and more! I was quite appreciative that A is [...]

Since my husband has been out of town for work this past week, A and I took a vacation (or perhaps a staycation) to my parents’ house for the week. In addition A is still not sleeping well at night, so I took the opportunity with the extra help to catch up on sleep, reading, [...]

They are called rotelle, but I call them wagon wheels. I have started buying them because they are fun for our little sweet pea to munch on and go well with the pasta sauce I created here. You can easily add hamburger meat to this sauce to enrich it, but I like it with just [...]

I feel like many (or at least a few) of my posts about A deal with sleeping. I don’t think I realized how much I enjoy sleep and miss it now until we had A. Or maybe I did. I still remember when we first moved into our house and I was about eight months [...]
