Eleven Months Old
Dear E, This is your last monthiversary before I go back to work – I’ll have a full day of work on your birthday. đ But today, you are eleven months old and you are a wonderful little person! You are growing and learning so fast it’s mind-boggling. Just in the last couple weeks, you…
Having a Bad Mom Day
It’s not my proudest day of motherhood today. Not that anything horrible has happened – I’m just off my game. Baby E got to bed late, thanks mostly to my lack of time management today, and this after he had eaten for dinner, among other things, some kidney beans that actually were a little over-funky…
Top Six Moments from Today, in Chronological Order
E’s insistence, during potty time, on seeing Mama’s bellybutton and then launching himself forth to give zerberts; E’s shifting expressions of confusion, incredulity, and delight when, just for shiggles, I put the cap from his bottle on my nose; E’s shifting expressions of confusion, incredulity, and disgust when presented with a rice rusk that had…

The “laminated list” from…

33 Years Old, and Nine Months Old – and one day.

Que nous puissions vieillir ensemble…
Lorsque tu seras vieux et que je serai vieille Lorsque mes cheveux blonds seront des cheveux blancs, Au mois de mai, dans le jardin qui s’ensoleille, Nous irons rĂ©chauffer nos vieux membres tremblants. Comme le renouveau mettra nos coeurs en fĂȘte, Nous nous croirons encore de jeunes amoureux; Et je te sourirai tout en branlant…
Seven Months Old
I cannot believe how time is flying! When I look back at the photos and videos of my baby E from a few short months ago, I am amazed at how much he’s changed. It is both heartbreaking and exhilarating. He is so full of life and fun, and I am so blessed to be…
