Confession: I’m not a prepared parent. I pack Owen’s meals for the sitter’s about 10 minutes before I leave the house. I always forget sunscreen. Heck, the other day while shopping at Target, Owen squeezed pureed fruit from a pouch all over himself and I realized that I had absolutely nothing to wipe him off… Continue Reading
Owen’s fascination with cats and dogs inspired his second birthday party. His celebration was much smaller this year, but that didn’t stop me from going overboard with the kitten and puppy theme. And most importantly, Owen had a grand time with his very close family and friends. The planning began with the kitten and puppy… Continue Reading
Happy Birthday, Owen!! My munchkin is officially two and this is his last monthly update. I can’t believe this day came so quickly. (Dear Owen, Please stop growing up so fast. Love, Mommy) On his second birthday, I can honestly say that I enjoy the company of Little O more than ever. Yeah, I know… Continue Reading
Ahh, this is the last time that I’ll be referring to Owen’s age by months. In a few weeks, he’ll just be “2”. It’s a bittersweet moment for me. It seems like just yesterday that I was wondering when I could start giving Owen’s age in months instead of weeks. In the past month, Owen… Continue Reading
Owen’s birthday party is going to be an intimate affair this year. We’re keeping it very small since baby #2 will be about ready to pop. Knowing I was sending out less than a dozen invitations, I took the opportunity to make elaborate invites. I, of course, had to share them with you! After much… Continue Reading
It’s hard to believe that Owen will be two years old in two months. And that he’ll have a little brother or sister in less than three months. I intended to give more updates about my second pregnancy. That hasn’t happened. Poor little unborn child – already getting neglected. I do promise to post something… Continue Reading
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
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
