Shayne turned 7 months old on New Year’s Eve. Needless to say, we had a lot to celebrate! She has recently mastered sitting up, and can entertain herself with her toys while sitting for quite a while at a time. It is such a cute developmental stage and she is very proud of her new …

Shayne Turns 6 Months!
Six months is a big milestone in baby world! This is when Shayne crosses out of being considered an infant and really has begun to develop and grow and learn. This is the age where babies are able to really get into eating solid foods, begin sitting up on their own, and generally get transitioned into …
Traveling with Littles – Tucson Trip part 2
The second part of our trip contained much less action. While everyone really enjoyed the excitement of having a full house with an active toddler running around, it was definitely a nice change to have a little quiet and time to relax. Friday, after Curtis and Kolton left (I was of course very sad to …
Kolton Turns 3!!
Kolton turned 3 years old on Sunday, but we had his Birthday party with friends and family on Saturday! We always have a difficult task of finding an indoor venue for his parties. Since his birthday is at the end of November, we have to assume that it will be cold and/or raining. This year …
Mother and Son Day – The Children’s Discovery Museum
Every couple of months (or whenever I am able to get around to it), I am trying to make it a point to have a special day with my growing boy. I cannot believe he will be THREE at the end of this month and I don’t want to miss a moment with him. He …
Shayne’s First Food :: Sweet Potato Recipe

Shayne Turns 2 Months!
Shayne’s 2 month appointment went very well! She is 10 pounds 5 ounces and 22.5 inches long. She is growing beautifully and her pediatrician could not believe how strong she is! She is so incredibly alert and holds her head up very well for her age! We are so beyond blessed to have such a …
Shayne’s Birth Story :: VBAC Success!
I made the mistake of convincing myself that our baby girl would come early. Around 38 weeks was my guess. I should have known better than to think I could actually predict when she would decide she was ready to make her grand entrance. With Kolton, I had him at exactly 39 weeks. This was …
Danielle’s Pregnancy Post – 39 Weeks
I am hoping that this will be my LAST pregnancy post! I had Kolton at exactly 39 weeks so this is officially the longest I have ever been pregnant and I am feeling it in every possible way! I am so exhausted and every bone, muscle and nerve in my body aches. If I could …
