I was sitting on the couch watching a Scrapbooking show on the tv. Adrianna was sitting on the floor in front of me, contentedly playing with some of her toys. After a little while, she pulled herself up, using the couch, so that she was standing and looking up at me. I wasn’t paying too […]

Sobbing and Sneezes
This afternoon, I dropped Greg off at the airport as he is flying out to San Francisco for a business trip. I have been dreading this all week. I am going to miss him so much and this will be the longest we have ever been apart in our 6 years of marriage. As I […]
Cuddling or Kleenex?
Adrianna has been extra sweet these past couple of days. She has always enjoyed it when I lay on the floor, as she can then crawl all over her mommy-gym. Today, as usual, she made a beeline for me as soon as I laid down. Once she reached me, it was all cuddles. She buried […]
No More Nursing
Well, I think I am done breastfeeding Adrianna. It wasn’t by my choice; it was by hers. The last few times I have attempted to nurse, she wasn’t too interested. Instead, I was given playful nips as she tried out her four little chompers. Ouch! Or, she would reach out her hand and tweak the […]
My Little Mimic
Today I was hollering up the stairs for Greg. I shouted “Gre-eg” and behind me I heard a little voice call out “aa-aa” in a really similar voice pattern but an octave or so above mine. It is definitely to the point where we need to be careful what we say around Adrianna and what […]
Sleep Schedule
There is nothing better than having your baby on a sleeping schedule. One that includes her sleeping through the night. At least most nights. We put Adrianna down to bed between 7 and 8 and she will sleep until about 7:00 a.m. the next morning. Now if only I could get myself to bed at […]
Climbing and Independence
Now that Adrianna has fully mastered crawling, it is on to her next achievement. Her new thing now is climbing and pulling herself up to a standing position. One of her favorite things to climb on is me. If I lay down on the floor, she will speed over to where I am at and […]
Baby and her Bears
Our normal bedtime routine with Adrianna includes rocking her to sleep, using our glider chair. Glider chairs are such a blessing for new parents, by the way. While I rock her, I either sing to her or I play music while she winds down. Then, when she is asleep or almost asleep, I lay her […]
My Favorite Children’s Music
I listen to a lot of children’s music with Adrianna. It is funny, because I am finding myself enjoying most of it. Even so, I do prefer some albums over others. I thought I would include a list of my favorite children’s music. I expect that this will expand as we continue to purchase more […]
Verboten
We finally got around to buying some outlet covers at Walmart today. So now our downstairs level is mostly childproof, with the exception of a couple cords that Adrianna likes to grab and twirl and the dogs’ water and food which Adrianna loves to stick her hands in. In fact, she is like a little […]
