Where oh where did my baby go? It has been almost a year since he first entered the world. I used to think that the days passed slowly even though the weeks and months flew by. Now even the days seem to be gone in an instant. In the first few days, weeks and months of having a new baby, so much of it is guesswork. You are just learning about this new person that has suddenly joined your world. Now, eleven months...

Four years ago, my husband blogged about taking your baby to restaurants.  We used to take our kid everywhere we went. Now that we have two and our newest baby (who is really not that new anymore) has always had a really early bedtime, we just don’t do the same things that we once did. This summer, however, we are going on a road trip. We will be gone for about 2 weeks, in and out of many restaurants,...

Half the time I’m complaining that I never get any peace and quiet at home. If I don’t have a four year old asking me to play zoo or cars or get him something to eat, I have an 11 month old tugging at my pants, slapping my chest, slobbering on my face or whining about whatever.

Almost every time they gave him antibiotics. I was getting increasingly alarmed and after having a hearing test performed on my son with the results showing that he had some slight loss, I made an appointment with a specialist....

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.

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”,...
