Wow, I really need to keep this blog more updated.
I forgot to even add the kids’ stats after their check-ups last month. Jackson weighed 28 pounds (although he weighs 26.8 at home) and was 37″ tall. The doctor was very pleased with his overall health and especially his manners and speech. We’ve been working [...]
I’ve been a blogging-slacker lately and I apologize. Things have been BUSY around here lately to say the least.
I’ve started my own shop on Etsy making headbands and flower clips for babies and toddlers. I am having so much fun doing this and it’s therapeutic in a way to work on them. It’s been [...]
Today is my buddy boy’s 3rd birthday. It’s so hard to believe we have a 3 year old. He’s not even a toddler anymore. My baby is growing up so fast.
On Tuesday, we went up to Lancaster, PA to take Jackson to Dutch Wonderland, this awesome little kiddie amusement park. It was FABULOUS! We took [...]
We were at a store last night (Party Supply Store in Stephens City, which has more Melissa & Doug toys than party supplies!) and Adam picked up a puppet and started playing with it. I fussed at him to put it back and Jackson shrugged his shoulders and said “it’s okay mommy, he doesn’t know [...]
While I was clipping Jackson’s nails this evening, we had a conversation about his future. He plans to be a daddy when he grows up and will marry Kate and they’ll have two kids – a boy and a girl, named Jackson and Kate. They’ll have four dogs – Shiloh, Snoopy, Ming-Ming, and Tuck. Tuck [...]
Poor Eva felt left out with the rest of us getting sick so much this year. She’s got the croup. She doesn’t seem to be feeling too miserable, all things considering, but she’s got a heck of a cough. I took her to the pedi yesterday and she put her on a steroid to break [...]
Eva had her 4 month checkup yesterday. She is doing great! She’s 13 pounds, 3 ounces (44th percentile) and 25″ long (85th percentile). We have another tall, skinny kid on our hands.
She got two shots and one oral vaccine. The poor girl – she never cries, but she SCREAMED during her shots. It was [...]
Jackson had been coughing all week last week and it was getting worse by the day. Saturday was really bad and he had a fever, so we took him into the pediatrician’s emergency clinic and he got diagnosed with bronchitis. He threw up on the way home in the car and then once more at [...]
I’ve been searching forever for this song that Granddaddy used to sing to me when I was a little girl. I could only remember that it had the word “cellar” in it, I guess only because my grandparents called their basement the cellar, so that word stuck. I remembered the melody, so after some aggressive [...]
My day was much like the weather today – started out gloomy and ended sunny and peacefully.
Shortly after I woke up on this rainy morning, I got a phone call telling me it was probably in my best interest to bump up my planned visit to my Granddaddy, which was scheduled for tomorrow.
I [...]
