Calvin has four teeth now. FOUR! He isn’t even crawling yet and he has all these teeth. I don’t even know what to do with them. Oscar was the complete opposite. He was scooting at 6 months but his teeth took forEVER to come through. Of course it doesn’t matter when it happens. Teething is [...]

I am so over teething. SO. OVER. IT. Calvin only has 2 teeth so far, so while I think my complaining may be a weeeee bit premature, I feel that I have no other choice. It’s either complain or explode. I choose complain. Right now his top 2 teeth are THISCLOSE to erupting. They look [...]

The little things are the biggest things {becoming mom}

by Andrea on March 12, 2012 · 7 comments

Sometimes I look around and I sigh. I think really? Is this what I am doing every day? It’s time to get groceries again? It’s time to wash their clothes again? And then all of a sudden, my 3 year old who couldn’t even pronounce the word downstairs a minute ago is explaining to me [...]

You’re doin OK mom {becoming mom}

Today I took Oscar to his preschool and he was so excited to go back that he hopped right out of the van without so much as a glance in my direction. This is kind of a big deal because in the first couple weeks when he had a few days off between school days, [...]

Can you believe that Calvin is 7 months old?! I sure can’t. I feel like time is flying yet these are the hardest and longest days of parenting. I was talking to my friends Christin and Paige the other day about how hard the first year is and how I sometimes feel that I am [...]

by Andrea on January 23, 2012 · 5 comments

My sweet little tiny baby Calvin is 6 months old. My baby. You know, the one I brought home from the hospital yesterday? Yeah, that one. He’s halfway to being a year old and I am still in my pajamas.

Me Time {Becoming Mom}

by Andrea on January 8, 2012 · 1 comment

Here is my child, helpless and lacking the knowledge to be able to blow his own nose, yet I am irritated at the interruption to my evening. Thinking only of how we just got him on a secure sleeping [...]

Most of us have taken down our Christmas decorations by now and maybe even some of you have taken down the outside lights. I am getting there ok? But the fact is, Christmas is over. And for all of its craziness, I think this may have been my best Christmas ever. I could go on [...]

5 easy photo ideas to capture Christmas

by Andrea on December 19, 2011 · 3 comments

Capturing Christmas memories can be difficult with two young children running around. The toddler is overcome with excitement and diving into presents faster than the speed of light and the baby goes between needing to be fed or at least held, wanting to nap and maybe eyeing a gift or two himself. It can be [...]

Soft Blocks for Baby

by Andrea on December 16, 2011 · 4 comments

After getting some awesome suggestions on what to give Calvin for Christmas, I remembered that when Oscar was about this age, I made him some soft blocks. They have since been drooled on and played with outside so I thought it would be a good time to make some more. I used the soft block [...]
