I’m babysitting an extra baby today. Baby Cora, who is 5 1/2 months old, is visiting for the day. She normally splits time between her grandparents, but one of them is sick in the hospital, so I’m trying to help out. Right now, both little ones are napping. Nice. We’ll see how it goes. My […]

Baby, It’s 3 am, I must be….
…desperate. Last night, while discussing Isaac’s new sleep troubles with Lorena, I told her, “the good thing is, no matter what, I always know that if I can get through the day, I can count on him going to sleep at night and sleeping through the night”. When he was only a few months old, […]
We Have Liftoff!
So, Isaac is crawling. Everywhere. He was trying hard before I went to NY, but a series of events seemed to stall him. 1. We went to NY, where everyone held him. All the time.2. When he wasn’t held, he was confined to very small areas with hard floors.3. He started to push up on […]
Jake in NC – Days 5 & 6
Lots to report this time… Yesterday, Jake and I walked into the hoppin’ town of Lewisville and scored some coffees from Casanova’s. Then, Derek’s sister’s little boy came over. Jake taught him how to jump off the couch onto a pile of pillows. We only watched him for a little bit, before Derek’s mom came […]
Happy Birthday Josiah!
Here’s a birthday SHOUT OUT to Isaac’s friend Josiah. I stole the following picture from Lorena’s website.
Baby’s First Teacher Workday
I took Isaac to school today. We had a teacher workday and Jena couldn’t take him.Another teacher brought her teenage daughter to school and she watched him while I went to a (my last) faculty meeting. He was crabby, but she managed. He took a little nap on the floor of my classroom (on a […]
Weekend Update
In the last couple of days, I haven’t really had any blog-worthy events take place. But, the sum of all the events certainly is blog-worthy. Let’s see….The monster has been sleeping a zillion times better. He eats, plays, gets fussy and lays down (on his belly, oh no!) and goes to sleep. Every now and […]
Not-So-Happy Rest of the Day
After I took the video of the super cute boy this morning, he proceeded to have a monsterific rest of the day. He was fussy and grumpy all morning and I couldn’t get him to sleep for more than 15 minutes at a time – and that was only 2 or 3 times. Then, we […]
Target Trip
I have discovered the wonders of taking daily trips with the boy. 1. We get out of the house, which seems smaller and smaller everyday.2. It kills some time.3. Isaac likes to ride in the car. He also likes to ride in carts. And if he gets bored with that, he likes to be carried […]
Three Weeks
Isaac is three weeks old today.At times, it seems to go by very very fast. But, at other times, it seems that time is standing still. This morning, while he cried and screamed and wailed – time dragged on. But, I can’t believe that it was already three weeks ago that we were at the […]
