Nathan moved to his crib at 4 months old and now Autumn is spending her first night in the crib at 7 months old. I have no idea why I waited so long to move her to the crib, but I think she is a lot more comfortable now that she can stretch out and… >> View Post

Roll Up Some Apple Pies
Autumn has been napping really good during the day (probably because she is being a PITA at night- huge sigh) and I decided to do one of the Highlight’s activities with Nathan. We had so much fun!!! Ingredients. Instructions. First, you dump a can of apple filling into a glass bowl. Nathan had a hard… >> View Post
Reading Program at St. Louis County Library
Today I took the kids to the library by our house to enroll them in the Summer Reading Program. I know I am a little late, but the enrollment day was a day that I had to attend a family reunion. I get there and they told me I could sign up BOTH kids for… >> View Post
I learned a valuable lesson today.
I put a plate of some graham cracker shaped like bugs on the table for Nathan for a snack. My mom put these in the bag for Nathan when I had picked him up after work. I broke them in half because they were a little big. Nathan frowns at me. “They are broken, fix… >> View Post
Nathan’s 3 Year Well Visit
Last Saturday I took Nathan to his 3 year old well visit. I know, it was a month late, but I always try to get the Saturday appointments so I don’t miss out on work. This appointment was so different from his previous well visits in many ways. First off, the nurse told him to… >> View Post
7 months old and still, yes STILL wanting to be swaddled!
Autumn is 7 months old as of Father’s Day and I have been trying off and on since she’s been 4 months to get her used to sleeping without being swaddled. She isn’t swaddled for her naps, but she demands it for bedtime! I have gotten her to sleep well with one arm out of… >> View Post
Little Gym at the Mall
Tonight we moved class into the new Little Gym location at the mall. I must admit, I am not happy that they have moved into the mall. It is just not easy! It took me an additional 15 minutes to get in the mall and out. Why? Because, now I have to load the kids… >> View Post

Grand Opening of the Firehouse
I read in the paper that the Grand Opening of the new firehouse would be today. I thought this would be a great learning experience for Nathan so we went around lunch time. Here is a couple pictures of the front of the firehouse. Nathan loved to sit and stand on the firetrucks. However, he… >> View Post
Jeremi’s Surprise from the Kids
My mom is always so thoughtful and has the kids put together something for Jeremi and I on each holiday. Of course, when I picked the kids up after work today, there was a blue gift bag just waiting for me to take it home for Jeremi. Once Jeremi got off work, Nathan told him… >> View Post
Tomato Luv’er
It is sooo hard for me to find time to work in the garden with an infant that is so needy, and it is so hot now that I doubt I will do much. I tend to replenish the mulch, plant annuals and prune in the Spring and then cleanup in the Fall. I hate… >> View Post
Baby Bjorn arrived today!
I wanted to buy a baby carrier that is easier on my back and that goes over both shoulders. I loved the New Native but it would really hurt my one shoulder once Autumn got bigger. I did have it tucked in my diaper bag and wore Autumn in it during Nathan’s Little Gym class… >> View Post
