Baby: He has been a busy one. As you know, he got his helmet, got his glasses and now is cutting his first tooth! (Needless to say, he hasn’t been the happiest camper, but gosh darn if he just isn’t the most adorable little turd.) He is rolling over easily from his back to his…

Today
Today was a big day for the little guy. He got his helmet, he got his glasses and he turned 6 months old! Hard to believe. In some ways, I feel like there is no way he’s 6 months old – that went by so fast! But in other ways, I see him as much…
Daddy's Hands
When I think of my husband becoming a father, two images stand out in my mind. The first is the way he looked at Stephen when he was first born. He was so amazed by this little creature and sort of in disbelief that we created something so perfect. He took great pride in his…
Lazy Eye
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…
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…
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…
