Religion can be a hot topic of debate when a husband and wife come from two different backgrounds. Luckily my husband and I are of the same mold, where the religion isn’t as important as the morals our child grows up with. If you had asked me years ago if I would let me son…

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
One of the sad things about pregnancy ending is that the gorgeous hair you were sporting starts to fall out. Like, a lot. I couldn’t deal with finding hair EVERYWHERE (shower, bed, couch, baby’s fingers & mouth) so I chopped it off. Bye bye locks, I’m sure we will meet again one day. – Posted…
Star Tours 2.0
Does anyone else remember how AWESOME Star Tours was when it first opened? I remember as a kid riding it over and over and over again. I came off the ride with big excited eyes and just couldn’t wait to do it again! As the years went on, that excitement diminished quickly. It got to…
5 Months Old
Baby: What a little stinker! Well, not all days. Yesterday his poop smelled like cookie dough, no joke. He is working so hard on rolling over. He’s done it once from his back and once from his stomach, a few days ago. Not a mastered skill yet, but we’re getting there. He is smiling and…
Surgery Date Set
Today we had our consultation with the amazing and brilliant and wonderful Dr. Wells, who performed the baby’s first heart surgery, and basically saved his life – not only from the heart condition, but also during the complications in surgery. He acted quickly and seeing him today reminded me how grateful I am for him.…
Tornado Watch
What a weekend we had. It started out all fun and games with a photo shoot, dinner with friends, a great day at the CA Strawberry festival… and ended in a way I never expected. Of course, you have seen the news. Joplin, Missouri was hit by the deadliest tornado in US History. At least…
Doc Band
“What?! You went over my helmet?!” – Dark Helmet (Spaceballs) With all the helmet talk today, I can’t help but think of Rick Moranis. Anyway, yes. The little guy had a consultation today to see whether or not he will need a helmet (called a Doc-Band) to correct his crooked little adorable head. It’s called…
Mommy Faux Pas #3
How do we go away for one night and I take 6+ outfits for the baby and forget pajamas & clean underwear for myself?? Nothing a quick trip to WalMart didn’t fix, but still. Oops.
Rice Cereal, Shmice Cereal
So as many people know, our baby doesn’t sleep. He has started taking regular 1/2 hour naps during the day which is FANTASTIC but nights are still a struggle. He wakes up every 1-2 hours and after 4 months of this, I’m just plain exhausted. I don’t expect him to sleep 8 hours or anything,…
April Wrap-up
April was kind of a great month. Stephen has become more fun and interactive and we’re able to actually leave the house without a meltdown. It really makes me happy. Not only are his doctor appointments and trips to the grocery store a million times easier, but we could throw in a few fun things…
