Cupcakes and Commentary

Today I captured a few pictures of A jumping on his bed while J was napping. When I went back to look at the pictures later, I couldn’t believe how big he looks now…and how at different angles he looks like me, and then like my husband. Jumping with his measuring tape and his binoculars. [...]

I occasionally blog about this topic in passing, but I don’t know that I have ever devoted a full post to it, without adding additional photos and updates. Usually when one of us is sick I forget afterwards to blog about it because by the time I get back on the blogging wheel it is [...]

One of the ideas we started since J arrived is weekend movie night. My sister and her family have been doing this for awhile and I really liked the idea. We thought it would be fun to start for A, and gives him something to look forward to on either Friday or Saturday night! Our [...]

A little re-cap of our second week with baby J. J is now 8 lbs 5 oz (WHAT!), and 21 and 1/4 inches long. Suffice to say he is growing and eating a lot. We are still working on schedules, but he is still sleeping decently in the pack n play at night, and has [...]

Baby JAM is here! With those initials we just know it means he is going to be one hip and sweet baby. Before I put up all the pictures and let them speak for themselves of his arrival, I wanted to provide a few memory moments for my blog memories and our family and friends. [...]

There is not much more that all the boys love than a birthday right now. A birthday means presents, cake, ice cream, balloons, and being able to get together and play! We had a great time celebrating my Dad’s birthday! First present opening…also titled “there’s something about Granna” because this time the boys were incredibly [...]

Today we began making Christmas cookies. As I was taking pictures of A making the cookies I flashed back to him making cookies when he was barely one, in a little dishtowel apron with only a stripe of hair and a little green dinosaur shirt. Flash forward to today: My baby is now a three [...]

Celebrating with a birthday bagel on his birthday day October 16th. I’ve been meaning to complete this for awhile, but kept getting sidetracked with other posts, so better late than never! A compilation of things that A is into, accomplished, and looking forward to at the sweet age of 3. A weighs in at 29.6 [...]

I wasn’t kidding when I said A really did not want to dress up for Halloween. Here is his first costume: I could hardly get him to keep the sticker on. So imagine how it was trying to get him into the next costume: He has the roar of the dinosaur down well. The only [...]
