Had to do a shopping trip this afternoon with both girls, and for the first time, put Audrey in the seat area. She’ll be eight months old next week. Normally I wear her in a wrap, but she’s ready and eager to sit up (and crawl, and pull up, and get into everything, oh lord. […]

sorry about your sickness, mommy

Brian got a cold, then passed it to me, and of course now the girls seem to have it, too. Freya must have a very mild case so far. Poor baby Audrey actually has a little cough, which on a seven month old baby is both sad and worrying. Her spirits are otherwise good though, […]

It’s been exactly seven months since Audrey’s birth. She has almost tripled her birth weight, she can sit up, almost crawl, and still doesn’t have any teeth. I have lost thirty-five pounds of pregnancy weight, which I think might be all my baby weight as I was a little overweight to begin with, and if […]
Audrey woke up at 5:30 this morning and wanted to play. That big brain of hers is very busy. We kept her corralled until I could nurse her back to sleep. I then went into a dream about trying to cook a corn dog in our oven, except the tray I was using kept breaking. […]

In 2013 we will have a big glass jar in our kitchen to deposit little notes containing good things to remember. Then at the end of the year, we’ll dump the jar out and read the notes to each other for new year’s eve. I think I found this idea, like so many others, on […]

I keep this little piece of fabric on the shelf by Audrey’s changing table. It was made for me by a friend to look at during childbirth. I went into labor two weeks before my due date and didn’t have it, or my blessings or anything from my shower, so I didn’t actually get to […]
Have to remember to wear earrings so my holes don’t close up. I wear studs because Audrey can’t grab them. There was a period in the 90s when for several years I did not wear earrings at all. I am not sure what the deal was. I guess I just didn’t own any. My jewelry […]
baby smiles

Audrey has started smiling, and not just reflexively. I believe she has started her “social” smiles, which are great. Especially at 4 in the morning when she’s been awake for a couple hours already, ugh. Last night was rough. She didn’t want to go back to sleep. My fault for deciding to wake her for […]

Four weeks old. It’s the same outfit she wore for her one week portrait. You can tell she has chunked up in her legs, stretched her feet out (or grown a half inch taller) and developed more rolls in her arms. And her face looks a bit fuller, eyes more alert. This time drags by, […]
