14 Months of Anneliese
It’s so cliché but my little girl is a ray of sunshine. She’s quick to smile and she can brighten an entire room with her sweet voice. This past month she has grown and blossomed so much. She’s giving me kisses and hugs, and she’s even learning to blow kisses so that the next time… Continue Reading
How to Look Younger and Fitter–Instantly!
Feeling a little rough around the edges? Looking like you’ve packed on a few pounds? Furry feet got you down? Just get a haircut! Everything will be looking up after that. No more saggy belly fur, scruffy ears, or bothersome neck fluff.… Continue Reading
8 Months Old!
Anneliese turned 8 months old yesterday. Sometimes, life as an 8-month-old is tough. Last month, I mentioned that she was trying to crawl. She would reach as faaaaaar as she could with her hands, leaning forward from a sitting position, and twist one leg so that she could get up on one knee… but the… Continue Reading
Another week’s gone by
… in (mostly) Instagrams. As I said before, most of the time I have my phone on me so I can keep in touch with friends (near and far)with facebook, twitter, and instagram, even if I don’t see another adult soul all day (though lately I’ve been seeing a lot of adult souls, which rocks!).… Continue Reading
A week in Instagrams
I haven’t been on the computer much, but I always have my phone with me, which is a huge help in making me feel connected to other adults even if I don’t see another soul besides Anneliese all day. Between facebook, twitter, and now Instagram, I really feel like part of a larger community, and… Continue Reading
Just some things…
Solo parenting takes a lot of energy, y’all. Just so you know. In case you don’t already know. And if you do already know, props to you. This stuff ain’t no walk in the park. So anyway, just some things. I’m learning/practicing back wraps. I haven’t figured out how to make it comfy enough to… Continue Reading
Happy Half-Birthday, my Sweet Girl!
Today, Anneliese turned 6 months old. The last month has been an explosion of development. Last month, she was just beginning to figure out how to use her hands more precisely. This month, she’s a pro at it. Everything is going into her mouth. She loves exploring different textures. Anneliese is now rolling fluidly in… Continue Reading
2010 In Review – The Year That Made Us Three
It’s still January, so I figure I’m still allowed to do “year end wrap-up” type posts and “new year goal setting” posts. We’ll start with the former. 2010 was a pivotal year in a lot of ways. I was pregnant for more than half of the year, became a mother, learned that my family would… Continue Reading
Happy 4 Months, Baby Girl
Today, Anneliese turned four months old. It’s amazing how time moves so quickly! It seems like just last week, she was this floppy newborn, but now she’s a whole separate person! She can even stand up if we balance her. She’s got sturdy little legs for sure. Not floppy anymore. She gives the sweetest expressions,… Continue Reading
Have a Cup of Cheer
Yesterday we got to spend Thanksgiving with some sweet friends of ours – Paige and Greg, Paige’s parents and grandmother, and a couple other aviators. It was low-key and relaxing, and we all just hung out and chatted and ate good food. It’s really comforting to have good friends nearby when we’re so far from… Continue Reading
