Yes, it’s true. Our secret is finally out…Owen is going to be a big brother! In August, we will welcome Baby Kopp #2 to our family. Considering Owen’s level of energy, you may be thinking we’re crazy. You may be right. This could very well mean that I may never sleep again after this summer.… Continue Reading
First, I’m sorry for my blog absence in January. The black plague descended on our household and I’m still trying to catch up and get back to normal life. But I’m happy to be back to writing and even happier that my family is germ-free (at least for the moment). Other than getting sick, Owen… 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
Yet another month has gone by and Little O keeps on growing. It won’t be long before I’m calling him Big O. The bigger Owen gets, the more entertaining he is. Every day he surprises us with something new he’s learned, like finally figuring out where his head and nose are. Almost everyone that meets… Continue Reading
I often tell Owen that I love him just the way he is, that I wouldn’t change one thing about him. This is a lie. There is one thing I’d change: Owen’s eating habits. It never occurred to me that I’d have a picky eater. Both Richard and I will eat anything, no crumb is… Continue Reading
How do the months go by so quickly? Owen’s already fourteen months old and fall has arrived. The changing seasons are making me feel nostalgic, thinking about a year ago when Owen was just a little baby and we were together all the time through the autumn days (we took a LOT of walks). This… Continue Reading
Yes, I admit there are moments when I’m envious of my 14-month-old. Let’s be honest here, people. Doesn’t everyone wish they could have the carefree life of a little kid from time to time? Sure, there are some parts of being a toddler that are less than appealing. Namely, you can’t wipe your own ass.… Continue Reading
Back in January, I shared my mommy must-haves for infants. Now that Owen is over a year old, I wanted to share my must-haves for almost toddlers. Since Owen alone is a handful, I try to keep the “stuff” to a minimum. For example, we recently spent a day touring Washington D.C.; the last thing… Continue Reading
It’s been a busy first month of year number two for Owen. He went to a county fair and saw lots of farm animals. He was a participant in the 104th Annual Baby Parade in Ocean City, NJ and made it onto the local news and into the newspaper! He roamed through Longwood Gardens, looking… Continue Reading
