I decided to vaccuum in the couch cushions tonight. In the past, I’ve pulled out money, food, and plenty of Keanu’s hair, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen anything like this – I pulled out a measuring spoon. I love finding Nicky’s things in unlikely places; it just reminds me how [...]

I keep expecting Nicky to grow some teeth or grow into the next clothing size (which is 24 months!) any day now. For the past month or so, he’s been exhibiting teething behavior, runny nose, always wanting things in his mouth, drooling, and a couple of restless nights, too. He’s also been taking great [...] We liked all of the cloth diapers we tried for different reasons, but our favorite was the Happy Heiny brand, so we purchased a 6-pack that arrived yesterday. After they took a trip through the wash, I arranged all of our diapers into a beautiful rainbow:
I’m really glad [...] Happy anniversary to us! Chuck and I celebrated our six-year wedding anniversary yesterday. Since it rained most of the day, we hung around inside and played with Nicky. We really enjoyed reminiscing over our wedding photos and spending time with our baby. Except for the bottle of 2001 Fulkerson Riesling Ice Wine we shared [...] Nicky has really picked up speed with his walking. I think it’s his preferred method of travel these days; he doesn’t crawl that much any more. He can even get up on his own, without using anything for help, but he doesn’t do that too much yet. He still loves to be chased around [...] I’ve posted a few new photos here. There are some cute ones, obviously, since he’s Nicky! I called the allergist’s office this morning to see if there were any cancellations/openings for us before the 30th, and we were in luck – they got us in at 11:00 this morning! I was very happy because I felt like I needed more guidance than what we were getting. Dr. Friedman is great! [...] It’s been busy in our backyard lately! We’ve had many visitors: deer rabbits many kinds of birds (they LOVE our birch tree!) the neighbors’ dog assorted cats squirrels chipmunks coyotes (YIKES, only one at a time, but not good!) a snake under the maple tree tonight at dinnertime turkeys (not in a while, though) [...] I had tried the Mommy’s Touch diaper once already and we tried it again yesterday. I liked it – the tabs can velcro over each other to grow with the baby. When I went to work, I had Chuck try the bumGenius diaper. Like many of the cloth pocket diapers, they come with two [...] We saw Dr. Shin, Nicky’s pediatrician, on Thursday. She referred us to Dr. Elizabeth Friedman, and allergy/immunology specialist who works with children lots. We have an appointment to see her on Wednesday, July 30th but might get in sooner if there’s a cancellation. |
