In honor of Miss M&M biting the $#%* out of my right nipple this morning, I am resurrecting an old post from when Dotter was ten months and change (just a few weeks older than M currently is). Now, I do hope that my second nursling is not headed down the same road her bigRead more
My nine month old is blossoming by the day. Whereas from about four months to eight, she mostly stayed in a similar [sedentary] groove, I am forced now to look ahead to the ever-nearing end of babyhood. My nine month old crawls. She officially started on August 13, 2011 at about 8.5 months old. SheRead more
M&M is now days away from the six month mark. I’ve actually been referring to her as “six months” for weeks now; I think to lessen the shock. Now that I’m used to the idea I can be excited for her without being distracted by my own feelings about the half-year mark. In case youRead more
Not much of a chance to blog lately. M&M is going through some kind of rough patch. Teething? A cold, maybe with sore throat? We are not sure, but it is manifesting itself it a couple crying jags during which she is unwilling to be comforted, naps topping out at thirty minutes, and wanting toRead more
Yes, it’s true. M&M, at just eleven weeks has almost cut her firth tooth. And there are two. She has a similar, tooth-swollen, bump on the other side. Dot got her first tooth before four months.

This is part one of probably a thousand posts to follow. You come downstairs to sights like this…….and your exasperation is met with an offering along the lines of: Suddenly one toy is seemingly attached to your child. They only want to read one book. Over and overRead more
Ali is currently in the process of getting FOUR molars. Actually I think she’s almost done, three have poked through (or at least I can see them, or are partially through) and one is just a painful looking mound of flesh. She’s sad and warm and overly sleepy. I’m gonna give her some Tylenol whenRead more
…a week and a half now? And we’re leaving tomorrow. Was going to be today but some things came up and now it’s tomorrow. Going to Portland. Well, Gladstone. Premise is my getting a wisdom tooth pulled. For which I am so, so, so excited as it’s been bothering me for like a year orRead 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
