D-Day

I downloaded Lora Jensen’s sleep training book online.  I know, most will say it’s a waste of money.  But, as a first time mom, I just really needed someone to tell me what to do.  I confused myself too much if I actually thought about it.  So, the objective approach was to let someone else [...]

Catch a Ride on the Sleep Train

I have recently discovered that it is a damn good thing I have never had to housetrain a puppy.  Mine came housetrained, or she’d be peeing all over everything.  I know this because I am having major anxiety about sleep training Jonah.
If you are a mom, you are REQUESTED to comment, if you feel like [...]

Housewife

He is ten weeks old today.  TEN.  He is blabbering a ton; most talkative kid ever.  And he is starting to smile at EVERYTHING!  He loves new people and especially kids.  When cousin Thomas tries to kill him by dumping him out of his bouncy seat, or when he rips the binky out of his [...]

Things I Didn’t Know (AKA: My Midget Son)

Jonah had his two month appointment on Saturday.  He is doing really well; gaining some weight.  He screamed so loud when he got vaccinations that he kinda shocked himself and then looked at me like “what the crap was that?” Doctor informed us he is in the tenth percentile for height / weight.  I had [...]

What We’ve Been Up To

Unless you want to hear about my struggles with laundry and/or dishes, or you find the ponderings of dirty floors fascinating, you are better off just seeing some of the recent pics from around here.  Sidenote:  there is a link to the right on my blog to my shutterfly account where I will post pictures [...]

Mommy Craft Day

Today Jonah and I took on a special crafty project and learned a very valuable lesson.  Isn’t that what mothers do with their babies?  You see, as I mentioned previously, we had been growing some pumpkins in the parking strip.  I anticipated this day, and yet was still shocked and horrified to find our pumpkins had [...]

Una Mes

I cannot believe that one month has gone by!  It does, however, seem like I haven’t gone outside in over a year.  It’s a wierd little prison I’m trapped in here.  Don’t get me wrong, I love being with my boy, but y’all know what I’m talking about; the walls closing in and all.
Jonah chose [...]

Rocking and Rolling

Is it possible to swing too much?  Does the equilibrium in your brain get all funky as your inner ear juice sloshes from side to side too much?
I hope not, because Jonah loves him some swinging. 
I may be speaking a bit too soon on this one, but this kid seems to be a little picky.  [...]

The Protector

Have I mentioned recently how much I love my dog?
Dusty was out in the yard cleaning out the garage and putting things in our street cleanup pile.  I wanted to do some cooking, so I wrapped Jonah up and gave him to his dad in the yard.  He was sleeping in his carseat, so I [...]
