Boy is my boy getting big! It’s been over three months since the last time I posted about Owen. I’ve missed writing about him and I bet you’ve missed reading about him (or maybe it’s just me and Richard that find him to be endlessly entertaining?). There’s so much to say about the past three… 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
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
The newest Baby Kopp is here! We’re so excited to share the news of her arrival, which was quite the event. Even though she arrived only a few hours after her due date, being my usual unprepared self, she took me by surprise. I was convinced she would be a late baby. While eating dinner… Continue Reading
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
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
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
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
Less than two months until my big sister’s big day! Last Sunday, me, Roberta, and my mom (Lan) hosted Emily’s wedding shower. Of course, since I was involved in the shower planning, there were no games of any kind (we all know how I feel about shower games). Emily’s wedding “theme” is a country feel… Continue Reading
