How is it possible that my baby is seven months old today? Where did the time go? Seven months ago today, my life changed in a big way.  I never could have imagined the powerful love I would feel for another child. Everyone said that your heart just grows bigger with each one. They were right.

I’ve always known there was something different about my oldest son. He always just seemed to be “more” than other kids. There are so many words, phrases and labels that could be and have been used to describe him. Some are wonderfully complementary and some are very much not! I know that all kids can be a handful and that all kids go through difficult stages, but unless you are the parent...

Now that Jett is becoming such a big boy, we are able to use our Quinny Zapp. It is such a great stroller. So light weight, compact, and easy to steer. It is the perfect stroller for travelling, going on walks and quick day-to-day errands. The main drawback is that it doesn’t recline. However, if you are a mom on a schedule, or rather, have a baby who is on a good schedule, you probably aren’t running...

A lot of people really don’t like Daylight Savings. I hate the “Fall back” one because it seriously messed up my baby’s sleep schedule and we all know how important that is. He was sleeping from 7p.m to 7a.m until I had to turn my clock back. He never adjusted. For FOUR months, my baby could hardly stay awake past 6 pm. He would wake at about 6:30 every morning. Now we “Spring forward”,...

Jett turned 6 months about a week ago. He is such a sweet, beautiful boy. He is strong, hitting his milestones on time or early, very busy and inquisitive and just a joy. He is in the 75 percentile for height (27.5 inches), 50-75 for weight (18.5 lbs), but most importantly he is growing at a nice, steady rate. He loves to eat, sleep, babble, laugh, play, take baths, be outside, and watch his big brother. He...

When I was a kid, my parents got me two personalized books that I absolutely loved. It was so cool to hear my name in the story and think it was all about me. I’ve been looking for something like that for Jax for a while now and finally came across the website Custom Made For Kids. Their personalized book, The First Adventures of Incredible You, is so beautifully written and put together. The pictures...

The questions are asked by me. The answers are by Jax (age 3.5) and were not changed at all. I am posting them verbatim. For ease of reading, M = me, mommy and J = Jax. 1) M: What is something mommy always says to you? J: I have to ask you a question. 2) M: What makes mommy happy? J: Listening. 3) M: What makes mommy sad? J: Doing mean stuff. 4) M: How does mommy make you laugh? J: You tickle me. 5) M: What...
