Head’s Up!

March 21, 2007 by Elaine

I don’t have any cute pictures right now, just a baby update. I had an appointment on Monday morning and I met with the nurse practitioner since my doctor is on vacation. She was very nice and I liked her a lot and we had a good talk that turned into talk of a c-section…

SUCCESS!

March 4, 2007 by Elaine

So Ben has made the transition to his new room (with just a little extra push…). On Friday night Tim and I decided to go full throttle and Tim actually took the mattress out of the crib. He did cry a little while about it, but once we laid in his bed with him for…

February 26, 2007 by Elaine

So after a some extra planning and couple of weekends of work we are calling Ben’s new big boy room “done.” Too bad he won’t sleep there yet! He likes to play in there a little and we read books on the bed but when it comes to actually sleeping in there it’s “no go”…

Latest Adventures of Ben

January 28, 2007 by Elaine

Ben loves to talk, but most of you know this. We went to some friends’ house last night and there was a couple there who have a 3-year old (about 5 months older than Ben) and the mother was going on about how well Ben speaks compared to her child. I guess we don’t notice…

Snow Day!

January 17, 2007 by Elaine

So Ben and I got to hang out together at home today since it decided to snow/sleet early this morning! I love it when this stuff sneaks up on the weather people – last night they were just predicting a few flurries! Needless to say, it snowed quite a bit even into the later morning…

Sydney’s Party

January 16, 2007 by Elaine

This weekend was really cold and wet but we did manage to make it to Ben’s friend Sydney’s 3rd birthday party at Jumping Party here in Arlington. It was a lot of fun and Ben finally realized it was okay to go down the slides and through this long catepillar tunnel that was there (only…
