Family News
I wasn’t sure when I was going to announce our news, but when I saw that it was 2 years ago today that I made this announcement on Facebook: It seemed fitting that I go ahead and announce this today: I bought Jenson’s shirt months …

Toddler Sleep Fun
We are back in a rough sleeping stage with Jenson. He’d been sleeping great – until 745-8 a.m. most mornings…good nap, etc. He started to get his last set of baby teeth this month, and they have been the worst set so far for him. …
Elmo’s World, ugh…Mister Noodle, double ugh.
Jenson decided that he loves Elmo- or as he says Melmo. I don’t really know when/where he picked this up, but I think it’s from a couple of Elmo books he has. I let him watch Sesame Street every couple of days – especially if …
A Great Mother’s Day
I totally dropped the ball on posting for Mother’s Day (among other posts). Once I remembered that I wanted to, I hadn’t taken a pic of the gift. Lo gave me part of my gift on Friday because he got them on Friday since he’d …
Daddy’s Helper
Jenson has gotten used to being with me all of the time and he isn’t as clingy with Lo anymore, but he’s still a daddy’s boy most of the time. He doesn’t cry for him that often anymore – usually just when I’ve told him …

Cracker, please?
Jenson is obsessed with crackers now. He doesn’t discriminate…saltines, goldfish, oyster…any cracker will do when he gets a hankering, which is most of the day. One of the first things he says when we gets up, or when he gets home from somewhere, or when …
The fun picky toddler stage
Jenson has reached the picky-eater toddler stage for sure. It can be quite a chore to try to figure out what he’ll eat that’ll still give him enough nutrition. I try to vary his diet, but it’s hard because he goes back and forth on …
Slow walkers, colds, and volleyball
Just a few thoughts from the week…none of which deserve a full post… Just like when driving, if you are a slow walker, you should stay to the right. I walk several blocks to/from my car for work and constantly get stuck by two people …
What to expect: Bringing baby home
I found this post languishing in drafts from awhile ago, and decided I should finish it. I know a lot of people who’ve brought home babies recently, or who are about to, so I’ve been thinking about all of that newborn stuff lately. We also …
