WW – The “Look Who’s Talking” Version

November 4, 2009 by Elaine

Here are some of the things I think she might have said when this picture was taken, if she could talk of course: “Um, Lady, I don’t actually sit up yet, so quit trying to prop me up like I can. Geez, give it time and me a break.” “And in that same vein, can…

Halloween & A One Month Old

November 2, 2009 by Elaine

My boys have been wearing their Halloween costumes for what seems like 72 hours (is that three days? – forgive me, I’m the mother of an infant and well… uh… not so good at math). The B Man had a little program at school on Friday morning in which he recited two nursery rhymes and…

PSF – My Baby Girl

October 30, 2009 by Elaine

Sometimes I look at her and I can’t believe she’s here, with us. This morning I counted her fingers and toes, one by one and marveled at how tiny and perfect they are. Her face lights up my days, my life. I’m trying to cherish the moments, these days that can be tiring but I…

I’ve Been Gifted

October 27, 2009 by Elaine

I’ve never really been surprised at the generosity of people. In my experience my family and friends have always been giving and generous with their time, talent and even hand-me-downs (just FYI, I LOVE ‘hand-me-downs…) BUT.

PSF – Beautiful Girl

October 16, 2009 by Elaine

I can’t get enough of this face. Eyes opened or closed, it doesn’t matter. I could stare at her all day. If only… Hosted by Cecily and Carissa

WW – Tiny & Sweet

October 7, 2009 by Elaine

I absolutely adore baby feet and toes. Yesterday The B Man and I used these little baby girl ones to do “This Little Piggy” and he said “Mommy, they’re almost too small to do it with!” I love it. Link up to WordFUL Wednesday at Angie’s place – Seven Clown Circus.

Of Course Breast is Best But GAH!!

October 6, 2009 by Elaine

So if you follow me on twitter and read my last post, you know Baby K and I are having some issues getting it together in the nursing department. We went today for a consult back at the hospital and met with a very lovely lactation consultant. We tried several things and made a little…
