On Sunday, August 26th Miss Violet started getting a little cranky in the afternoon, had a little bit of a runny nose and seemed a little warm to the touch. As, what I considered fairly experienced parents, we thought she was coming down with a cold. Boy, were we wrong – WAY wrong. Brian ended Continue reading
Brian and I have been so excited about having baby number two (lovingly nicknamed B2) but we cannot believe how fast this pregnancy has flown by. We decided early on that we wanted to move Ethan to, what was, the spare room and put B2 in the existing nursery. I’m not sure what we were Continue reading
We just found out we’re having a girl! We are so excited that we have a boy and now we are having a girl. I see a Hello Kitty themed nursery in my future. If only I could find a non-pink Hello Kitty theme. So the mission begins.
With just a week to Ethan’s first birthday we thought it was about time he got a real professional haircut – unlike the hack jobs mommy and daddy had been giving him. So I did my research and found a cute little place in Arcadia called The Yellow Balloon. The gentlemen that cut Ethan’s hair Continue reading
People always tell me that Ethan looks just like Brian. It’s true (not to mention lucky for him). I think he looks mostly like Brian but I can spot a few of my distinctive features – like the dimple he has on his right cheek. You can only see it when he makes certain expressions Continue reading
Now that Ethan has become mobile we’ve had to put the “doggie gates” back up. Okay, so technically they are baby gates but before we had Ethan they were doggie gates. We took them down after we lost the dogs and didn’t think we’d be putting them back up so quickly. Ethan is now crawling Continue reading
As I was catching up on uploading pictures to our website this morning Ethan climbed my leg, started bouncing up and down, and “telling” me he was hungry. Of course, I grabbed my iPhone and snapped this picture. He’s 9 1/2 months old and he’s really become so expressive lately; he sings and talks to Continue reading
On this particular rainy Saturday Brian and I trekked out to Babies R Us to take advantage of two ‘20% off one item’ coupons we’d been dying to use. We thought it would be nice to get Ethan a push toy since he now knows how to crawl and has learned to stand up and Continue reading
Ethan received this Chatter Telephone from our friend Teena as a present shortly after he was born. Brian and I both had this toy when we were a kid so you know it’s a classic. Sadly, it says 12+ months on the box so it’s been tucked away in Ethan’s closet ever since we received Continue reading
What was a class of all boys has suddenly been blessed with a new little girl, Braelyn. Braelyn is exactly one month older than Ethan. Just like his Daddy, Ethan has taken an interest in the older woman. 🙂 According to the daycare teachers they spend a lot of time together; playing, eating, and just Continue reading
