1. Sophie has officially learned the word “show.” Watching shows is one of the 2 most motivating forces in her life (the other is putting on shoes to go somewhere). We’ve made her request a show verbally before letting her watch, and she’s done a great job! We’ve also discovered that by having that “show” [...]

1. Guess who’s sitting pretty (or handsome) at our house? This little guy. Other fancy new tricks include turning himself 180 degrees on his tummy and even scooting forward or backward a few feet. Early crawler in our future? Could be. All I know is he’ll be 5 months old on Monday, and I’m impressed. [...]

I have to take Sophie in for a blood draw today and will probably have to be the one to pin her down while they draw her blood. Please send happy thoughts and prayers our way today! Now, for something completely different… 1. It is a mark of a mother’s love that I let Sophie [...]

1. Milo has started singing/squeaking/man-shouting. A lot. He is SO chatty. He gets so earnest, and his facial expressions are all over the place. So is his voice. It goes from high-pitched squeaky to angry man-shouts then back again. I sense a drama king in the making. Love it. 2. One of Sophie’s new favorite [...]

1. Sophie doubled her eye contact last week! She’s still significantly below where we hope to be some day, but it was a giant leap. We’re oh so very excited. 2. Big things are happening in our kitchen. I’m excited to share them with you (though not quite ready yet). 3. My mom was in [...]
