This pic is from a post Tony made about a year ago. It is a mash-up of two of our (his and my own) baby pics. I think it actually resembles Ali pretty well. Kinda well? I dunno, you can’t stare at it too long…but check the post out and weigh in on who she’sRead more
Today Tony not only let me sleep in (until nearly ten!) but brought me breakfast in bed! Though I got up and ate downstairs with Ali. Then we went to Tillamook to see some of these garage sales. It’d been raining earlier but had stopped, though the weather was far from nice. Cloudy, cold, andRead more
Months that is. Today. My baby is basically one year old. I cannot believe a year has gone by already. Or, eleven-twelfths of it. Gah. Yesterday the weather was nice when we woke up. Ali had a blowout, like, first thing so she came out of her bedroom in the morning dressed (usually it’s pottyRead more
Since we spent two weeks away from home (we returned at the beginning of April) I have spent all but three nights sleeping on the trundle in Ali’s room. With Ali. The first time we reverted back to our old way was the night of Mother’s Day when Ali was really sick. And then theRead more
Ali is starting to have a big biting problem. And it’s when she nurses. So that means it’s really MY big biting problem. except for maybe once today the boob has been put away every time because she is biting. And not once. I give her a bunch of tries. She usually starts but justRead more
First, the odds and ends. Happy Birthday to my mom! And for the birthdays that slipped through my fingers…to my dad on the 6th of this month and my baby sister Alyssa on the 25th of April. Happy [belated] Birthday to you two as well. Another product of our recent indoor time has been aRead more
This sickness that is. Ali got warm last night. I didn’t take her temp but gave her meds when she woke up about midnight. Yesterday, as a whole, was quite odd. She/we slept in until 8:30-9am, then she took a long nap (hour to and hour and a half) until noon. Then another nap justRead more
I have not been blogging. As you may have noticed. For a variety of reasons. I am currently spending way to much time READING a blog. I’m consumed. Ali is sick again. On the mend I think but that runny nose was struggling her real bad for awhile. She even had her first throw upRead more
Ali has a semi-bad runny nose. Thankfully it is runny vs. stuffy. Except when she sleeps I think? Last night and, thus far, tonight there has been a lot of waking up. This is really our first experience with the snot issue. Thankfully it’s the thin clear stuff. But it’s ever-present and, most likely, aRead more
We are all still recovering around here. It’s been a busy, crazy, and stressful few weeks. We lost our county by 31 votes. Which is basically 16 undecideds. While heartbreaking, it is really a victory considering we are in one of the poorest, whitest counties in the state. Typical Clinton demographics. Anyway, anyway. We areRead more
