Every day the last bits of baby left in Owen disappear. He’s turning into a little boy. He got his first professional haircut several weeks ago. Without his wispy baby curls, he definitely looks like a boy instead of a baby now. And his tummy is slimming down and his arm and leg rolls are… Continue Reading
In our new home, we finally have a casual great room. The space is very beige and white…not that I mind since I’m all about neutral colors. But we’ve slowly been adding to the room to make it more cozy. It’s so much fun to have an informal place to decorate and make kid-friendly. Soon… Continue Reading
Twenty months! Wow, Owen is getting old. Only four more monthly updates of Little O…lucky for you, Richard and I perfectly timed the arrival of our second child so that you won’t have any months without a baby to look at. Owen was his usual frisky self this past month. He likes to talk. A… Continue Reading
Can you believe that just about two years ago I wrote about my ideas for my future baby’s nursery? Well, here I am…pregnant again and ready to decorate another room for a little one! Except this time we’re not decorating and furnishing a nursery. Baby Kopp #2 is getting a hand-me-down as soon as it… Continue Reading
Time for the monthly update on Owen! Can you believe he’s 19 months old, closer to two years than one year old?? The more Owen talks, the more he makes me laugh. His rudimentary grasp of language is entertaining. He calls grapes “balls” which I find hilarious. When his nose is runny, he asks for… Continue Reading
Truthfully, Dr. Seuss Day excites me more than Valentine’s Day. It’s the book lover in me. To celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday last year, I hosted a Seuss-themed playtime party for Owen’s friends. Since Dr. Seuss Day 2014 is almost here, I thought I’d share some photos from our Seuss play date. For the play date,… Continue Reading
Owen is 17 months old and ready for his second Christmas! I have to say the holidays are so much more magical when you have children. Experiencing the traditions and excitement with little ones really is the reason for the season. Of course, Owen still doesn’t understand what the heck is going on when it… Continue Reading
Time for Owen’s monthly update! He’s learning so much lately, it’s hard to keep up with everything new from the past thirty days. He mimics, listens, and talks more than ever. It seems like he says a new word every day: cookie, cheese, binky, etc. He likes to know what things are called. All day… Continue Reading
This past year has brought much happiness with Owen in our lives. And one of the things I’m most grateful for is the amazing group of fellow new mothers that I’ve become friends with since Owen’s arrival. We started out as a playgroup but have become so much more, supporting each other as we’ve shared… Continue Reading
I think I’ve mentioned before that I love Halloween. The candy corn, the costumes (the Kopp household loves an excuse to wear a costume!), the decorations, the pumpkins, the crisp fall weather. Everything about Halloween is just plain fun. Although last year was Owen’s first Halloween, this year is even more important…it’s his first year… Continue Reading
