Embracing the Mess

August 31st, 2007 · 3 Comments

She had a fabulous […]

Projectile Emotions

August 22nd, 2007 · 6 Comments

Things I learned tonight:
1. Teething Sucks
2. I can’t Ferberize Ana
3. A minute of soothing will prevent a load of vomit-covered laundry

August 15th, 2007 · 7 Comments

A Letter: Eight Months

August 9th, 2007 · 4 Comments

Dear Ana,
I am so excited because today you turn eight months old. Eight is my favorite number and I am hoping this will be my favorite month. I don’t think this will be hard to accomplish because each month with you quickly becomes my favorite. Getting to know you and watching your personality emerge […]

Out of The Woods

August 6th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Yesterday Simeon, Ana and I returned from a week long camping trip at Cove Palisades State Park. Simeon and I have talked about it a bunch and decided we don’t want Ana to grow up being all prissy. We want her to be comfortable in the woods and not be afraid to get dirty. So […]
