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
I can’t believe Owen’s first birthday is less than a month away. I’m feeling kind of sad. This past year went by too fast. Owen isn’t really a baby anymore. He’s something in between a baby and a toddler – maybe a baddler? Or a todby? Our todby is just learning to walk, bravely letting… Continue Reading
I think it’s pretty obvious that I love ice cream (see my blog name). Lucky for me, I married a man who also loves ice cream. So it was an easy decision to make an ice cream cake for Richard’s birthday this year. Hot weather, cold ice cream, and a birthday – it’s a no-brainer,… Continue Reading
Little O is another month older! His personality is really beginning to show. And judging how he behaves now, I’m not looking forward to the terrible twos. I have a feeling life is never going to be laidback and relaxing with our high energy little dude. We’re definitely going to be investing in a leash.… Continue Reading
Wow – Baby O is six months old! So much has happened in the past month. He made it through his first holiday season into the New Year. His very first cousin was born, little Baby Brooklyn. He has mastered sitting by himself and he can push himself up into crawling position on his hands… Continue Reading
Merry Christmas and Happy 5-Month Birthday to Baby O! It really is the most wonderful time of the year. Five month olds are actually fun. It’s the age when babies finally do more than eat, cry, sleep and poop. Owen can pick things up on his own and entertain himself with his hands and his… Continue Reading
I’ve been dreading it, putting it off for weeks with every excuse I could think of. I’ve read the horror stories. I knew it would be bad, our hardest endeavor yet as parents. But this week, we decided to bite the bullet. After all, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. So it began…the greatly… Continue Reading
We’ve officially made it through the first three months – the hardest time of new parenthood, so they say. At this stage, babies should start sleeping through the night and the dreaded colic fades away. But Owen still wakes up more than once during the night and he still has crying spells. However, he’s slowly… Continue Reading
I can’t believe it’s October already! It feels like summer just ended. But as much as I love summer, I do love the month of October (after all, it is peak candy corn season). I’m extra excited this year because the fall season will be so much fun with Owen…dressing him up for Halloween, carving… Continue Reading
Owen turned two months old last Tuesday and I’ve finally gotten around to posting his two month photos. I know everyone says it but it really is true – they grow SO fast! Owen seems to get bigger each day. And I don’t want to sound like one of those annoying gloating mothers that constantly… Continue Reading
