What a perfect day today. Adrianna let us sleep in. (Well, kinda. Mommy still had to get up and feed her. But she was content to sit in her carrier afterwards and fall back to sleep on her own.) We are experiencing beautiful Colorado weather. Greg is home since it is the weekend. I am […]

Toys and Growing Up
Last night we had Adrianna on her play mat, which consists of a brightly-colored and patterned blanket with two bars over it with dangling toys. It plays music and lights up. Greg wondered if Adrianna would recognize the tunes that it plays if she randomly heard the music from the toy many years later. I […]
4 weeks old
Adrianna turned 4 weeks old yesterday. I cannot believe it; time sure is flying by. I would say the question we get asked the most is in regards to how we are sleeping at night. We are doing pretty well. Adrianna gets me up a couple times each night. Once we get her to sleep […]
Fun on the Changing Table
This evening Adrianna made a mess. A huge mustardy mess. It all started because we ran out of newborn diapers today. I thought we could get by with another pack of diapers that we had on hand; after all, they said they were for babies “up to 15 pounds”. That language leaves the sizing pretty […]
First Real Smile
Today Adrianna smiled back at me for the first time. She has smiled previously, but those were random smiles, perhaps attributed to gas. This time though, she smiled back at me in response to my smiling at her. It started out as a cute baby noise, to which I smiled at her because she is […]
Umbilical Cord
Adrianna’s umbilical cord finally fell off today. I am so glad – that thing was pretty icky looking. Last night was another rough night here at the Reimer household. Adrianna didn’t let us get much sleep again. Up until now, we have not been able to get Adrianna to sleep in her cradle. She only […]
More visitors
Adrianna had a couple more visitors yesterday – two of Greg’s coworkers stopped by on their lunch hour to meet her. Both play the guitar (one plays acoustic, one plays bass) so they both occasionally come over to the house and all three guys will just jam on their guitars for hours. I usually make […]
First Bottle
Well, it appears that, true to predictions by our family, that this blog has become primarily about Adrianna. I cannot help it; she is the most interesting thing in my life right now. I am not working and I haven’t left the house for awhile other than grocery and doctor trips, so what do you […]
Life & Laundry
Today I got puked on. Not just a little; quite a bit actually. I was feeding Adrianna when it happened. At first I thought she was just spitting up, but it kept on coming, and coming, and coming. Since I breastfeed, this means that she and I were in very close proximity. There was no […]
Auntie Jen
Last Thursday, “Auntie” Jen came to visit and meet Adrianna. Jen and I have been friends pretty much since the very first day of college (Grace University) in January of 1997. She was practically my roommate that first semester. She and Angela lived in the dorm room next door to mine, and I think I […]
