After my expert sisters both told us we “missed our window” for potty-training Mac, we started to force the issue. Apparently we were not seeing the right “signs” that he was ready. From what I’ve seen, I’m still not sure if I agree with them that he has been ready, but at least we’re making [...]

More videos done! More footage of the crawling pro… Vivian started pulling herself up to standing on January 4th, and I really tried to capture it on video, but I never did. She’s either camera shy or stubborn… I think I know which! The real bummer is I never did get back to trying to [...]

Mac has an aversion to new things. We are not sure what causes it and can’t recall when it began. We noticed when he got a few great new t-shirts with Thomas the Tank Engine and M&Ms (his favorites!) on them for his birthday – he refused to wear them! We tried and tried to [...]

Well, back in November, Vivian was [...]

The allergist checked him out [...]

Tonight when I was reading Mac his bedtime story, he stopped me occasionally and pointed out the moon on different pages. At the last one (a crescent moon), he said, “the moon is broken.” He often describes a crescent moon that way, and I said, “oh no, what should we do?” He promptly, and ever-so-sincerely [...]

Our fabulous neighbors have blessed us again. A few weeks ago we got a call from the neighbors across the street who are currently renting out their house. Both their daughter and the renter’s children are too big for the great play set in their back yard. They asked if we would be interested in [...]

I actually started this post on May 4th but never did get back to it to add any more milestones or pictures. Here’s a video from Easter, but other than that, I have to post before we get to 12 months! A year ago I was thinking, “come on, time, move faster…” and now? ”STOP!” [...]
