Today we went to a new ophthalmologist for Stevie. I decided to find a new eye doctor when it took the last one over a week just to return a phone call. I wanted to bring him in and they had no appointments available for 3 months. She was just way too busy. And when…

Mommy Faux Pas #4
I’m about to post something that LOOKS horrifying. But it’s not. My son has legs of steel. If he is awake, they are moving. Constantly. Knowing this, I decided to sit next to him on the couch anyway with my morning fruit shake. We got a bit too close and he kicked the cup right…
Christening
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…
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.…
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,…
4 Months Old
Baby: I think I’ve pretty much been keeping up with his latest and greatest here. He makes me so proud every single day. We are yet to conquer the sleeping issue, but we’ll get there. He really loves hanging out on his play mat and grabbing at the dangling toys. Its hilarious to watch because…
Hooray!
Stevie is finally lifting his head! Oh, it is such a relief. I know I can’t rush things and I try really hard to be patient with this little guy, but I will be honest – I squealed in delight when I saw him lift it up high like this. It was amazing once he…
