It’s been so long since I’ve written about my middle child, Carmendy! It’s been over a year. And, goodness, has she changed. My Carmie Bean is simply a character. She’s wild and stubborn, but introverted. With no desire or need to please others, my girl does her own thing. Crowds of people make her self-conscious… Continue Reading
Oh, Winnie. My apologies to you, my third child. I really dropped the ball on your monthly updates. Blame your two demanding older siblings…and also yourself, since “sleeping through the night” is something you are unwilling to do. I’ve been trying to catch up because, man, do I feel guilty. (I’m learning that these two… Continue Reading
Wow, I’m actually posting something! It’s been awhile, strangers. I know I’ve been missing in action the past few months. This is for several reasons, including: Carmendy no longer takes regular naps. School’s out for summer and my kids demand approximately 547 snacks per day. And when I have free time and I’m not feeling like… Continue Reading
I can’t believe I just typed “7 MONTHS OLD” for this post’s title. Time keeps going faster and faster. And Winnie seems to be growing faster and faster. The past few weeks have been big for my Winn bean. She figured out how to crawl shortly after turning six months old. Now she’s moved on… Continue Reading
I have so much. So much love, adventure, and little hands to hold. This life of mine gives me much more than enough. And I am not enough for it. Lifting heavy tots in the throes of a tantrum, I am not strong enough. Yelling at the kids to be quiet while I try to… Continue Reading
Last week was Winnie’s half birthday. SIX MONTHS OLD. It’s hard to believe half a year went by so quickly. My Winnie bear is getting so big. Like, literally. I think she had a hundred growth spurts this month. And she’s a strong girl, pushing and shoving with her legs. Milestones are hard to predict,… Continue Reading
Once again, I’m really late with Winnie’s update. She’ll be six months old in less than two weeks. But, hey, at least I’m writing about her being five months old while she’s still five months old. My tardiness this month is Owen’s fault. He brought some horrible Ebola-like virus into our household, which basically ruined… Continue Reading
Poor third child. Once again, I’m late posting her monthly update. However, it’s not all my fault. If Winnie slept a little better (or at all), I think I’d be right on time with her blog postings. I feel like I say this constantly and I know I sound like a broken record, yet I… Continue Reading
Hey, it’s me, the mom that forgot to write her baby’s two month post. So here I am writing her three month post, because by the time I remembered to write her monthly update, she was already more than 3 months old. Oops. But I would like to point out that I DID remember to… Continue Reading
My littlest little is one month old. How the heck did that happen already? The past few weeks have gone by so fast. Knowing this is my last experience with a newborn, I’ve been trying to soak in the snuggles and tiny baby coos as we get to know our new bundle. I find it… Continue Reading
