Spring is here and the flowers are blooming and it’s time for another update on my growing little sprout. Is it just me or are the months flying by? Only four more months until Carmendy is one year old! It makes me feel so sad when I think about it because I love this age,… Continue Reading
Seven months old. How is that possible?? My bambina is growing too fast. Although I wish I could slow down time, I also love this age. I remember that I really started actually enjoying motherhood at this stage with Owen. And I feel the same with Carmie – she can sit and play, she is… Continue Reading
How the heck did that happen?? Six months have really gone by since Carmendy arrived in our kitchen? Gosh, it went by fast. (Yet an hour of Caillou and a 2 a.m. feeding can feel so long. The great mysteries of life.) In fact, Carm is 6 and 1/2 months old. I’m a wee bit… Continue Reading
Little Carmendy is five months old. And even though we’re in the midst of the long weeks of winter, the days are going by quickly! There’s barely enough time in one day to feed the kids, get them dressed, put them to bed, and clean up their accidents and blow-outs. The past few weeks were… Continue Reading
Carmendy has been 4 months for over a week now. And Christmas is only 6 days away. How did that happen? Time is speeding by. We’ve been so busy during the past month – a visit to Lancaster to see her great grandmother, her first ride into Philly on the train, her first tree lighting,… Continue Reading
Our little chunkster is three months old! And she has been for nearly two weeks. I’m just finally getting around to posting her monthly update – just in time for Thanksgiving! I am feeling so very thankful for my baby girl (and Owen too), as I write this post. Carmendy’s demeanor has stayed the same.… Continue Reading
Carmendy’s christening was truly a beautiful ceremony and celebration with our dearest friends and family. Our good little girl behaved her best and barely made a peep throughout the entire mass. She hardly noticed the water being poured over her head. There was some chaos of course. After all, Owen was present. The little nugget… Continue Reading
Another month has passed – time for an update on our littlest little! Baby Carm is growing rapidly and losing her newborn looks. Upon meeting her, almost everyone says “She’s a chubby one, isn’t she?” Apparently, feasting on my breast milk day and night is like chugging milkshakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner…the pounds pile… Continue Reading
Wow…it’s been one month since Carmendy came into this world! With time going by so fast, it’ll be a small miracle if I manage to write a monthly update for Carmendy for the next two years. But I must! What kind of mother would I be if I didn’t do for Carmendy what I did… Continue Reading
Two years ago, after Owen was born, I wrote about the first three weeks of caring for a newborn. Now here I am, going through it once again. But things are so different this time (mostly in a good way!). The first time I was surprised by the boredom and loneliness. Newborns aren’t exactly bundles… Continue Reading
