Happy Autumn! Our family went to the pumpkin patch this weekend. It was fun for all. Alex was a little confused by all the people, but we still got some cute pictures. Plus, we got a family picture finally! Now, I can’t wait for Halloween to dress him up in his costume. Alex and I […]
Today my son is 9 months old and we had his nine month check up. According to his pediatrician, Alex weights 19 pounds and 11 ounces, he is 28 inches high, and his head circumference is 45.72 centimeters. That puts him in the 30th, 50th, and 60th percentiles respectively. He also has his first […]
On one hand it is hard for me to believe that my son is already 8 months old; on the other hand, just looking at how big he is leaves little room for doubt. Alex has added two new skills to his repertoire: climbing stairs and cruising. Technically, he was starting to climb stairs before […]
No, Alex didn’t magically age 5 years in the past two weeks. It was my first week back at school with the students. That means it was Alex’s first time to stay with someone he is not related to. My mom is keeping Alex 3 days a week, and a neighbor is keeping him two […]
Alex and I have enjoyed our last week together before I am back at work full-time. Yes, I have had to go into work a lot this month, but this week is officially the week before the students come back. It is time to make sure all my ducks are in a row and ready […]
My son was baptized today! It was a truly wonderful experience. Once again I have to say how lucky we are to have both sets of grandparents living close enough that they can participate in events like this. We are truly blessed. Alex was baptized this morning at Saint Barnabas Presbyterian Church. It is the […]
So tonight I feel like a bad mother. Let me explain… Alex is still not technically crawling, but his army crawl has gotten so fast that he can make it from the living room to the kitchen or down the hall in just a few seconds. James and I have started child-proofing everything. Cords are […]
We got some more professional pictures taken a couple of weeks ago. In honor of his father, Mimi, and James’ dad we got Alex an outfit like the Navy dress blues. Go Navy! I think the pictures turned out adorable, if I do say so myself. I have to give Sears props. They may not […]
I can’t claim that I thought of this idea on my own. This summer I have been reading many parenting blogs, and quite a few of them have featured a “day in the life of” picture day. I really liked the idea. Plus, I thought it would give you an idea of what we have […]
It has been a pretty eventful two weeks. First, and probably most exciting, Alex can do the army crawl. I know it isn’t the same thing as really crawling, but he is that much closer. It has been lots of fun watching him scoot his way down the hallway in pursuit of Xena. I can’t […]
