The little man is getting big – seven months old! And the more he grows, the more I love him. Owen is a ball of energy. His limbs are constantly in motion when he’s awake. And he’s awake most of the time. Sleep is something that Owen doesn’t need a lot of. Sometimes I love… Continue Reading
Happy Belated Valentine’s Day! Here’s an easy craft project that I came up with for a Valentine’s Day home decoration. It involves a lot of buttons, hence the title for this posting (speaking of which, try to say the title three times fast – betcha can’t!). So begin squirreling away buttons now and you should… Continue Reading
Wow – Baby O is six months old! So much has happened in the past month. He made it through his first holiday season into the New Year. His very first cousin was born, little Baby Brooklyn. He has mastered sitting by himself and he can push himself up into crawling position on his hands… Continue Reading
Merry Christmas and Happy 5-Month Birthday to Baby O! It really is the most wonderful time of the year. Five month olds are actually fun. It’s the age when babies finally do more than eat, cry, sleep and poop. Owen can pick things up on his own and entertain himself with his hands and his… Continue Reading
We’ve officially made it through the first three months – the hardest time of new parenthood, so they say.

However, he’s slowly… Continue Reading
Owen turned two months old last Tuesday and I’ve finally gotten around to posting his two month photos. I know everyone says it but it really is true – they grow SO fast! Owen seems to get bigger each day. And I don’t want to sound like one of those annoying gloating mothers that constantly… Continue Reading
It’s hard to believe but our Baby O is already one month old! And apparently he’s getting very big, since everyone says he looks more like he’s six months old. I’m starting to worry that in a few years we’ll be sending Owen away to fat camp for the summer. On the bright side, my… Continue Reading
My sister is tying the knot next Saturday. Only a little more than five weeks after Owen’s birth. So I had no choice but to try on my bridesmaid dress a couple weeks ago to evaluate the damage and determine what alterations would be needed, if any. Needless to say, I was very nervous. What… Continue Reading
Hello Everyone! I’m sorry for being MIA for the past couple of weeks. I hope you all managed to find something else to read and entertain yourselves with. Richard and I have been very busy these past couple of weeks getting ready for Baby Kopp’s arrival. Only three weeks until our due date! Now that… Continue Reading
Only 5 weeks until Baby Kopp’s due date! I sure do hope they go by slowly, because we have so much left to do yet. I did finally start reading my breastfeeding and infant care books. And I’m close to finishing What to Expect When You’re Expecting – thank goodness! Richard and I also finished… Continue Reading
