Toddlers

I think it’s safe to officially declare our boys “toddlers” 12 days before their first birthday. Forest is already walking across the room after only a few weeks of steps, something that took Logan about a month. Of course this walking has Forest skipping his afternoon nap and he kept us (ok…really only [...]


Thanksgiving pics


becoming a Queen

My incredibly awesome neighbor bought me a book by another Austinite, Merrit Ingman called “Inconsolable: How I Threw My Mental Health Out With the Diapers.” The book touched on a lot of my own thoughts and feelings about early parenthood. While I still don’t know if my roller coaster of emotions earlier this [...]


Walk This Way, Talk This Way

As of yesterday Logan is walking all over the house. He seems to have really gotten his confidence and is all about his independence. It’s so cute to see him toddling around and his obvious excitement at this newly honed skill. Forest has also made a huge stride and is constantly walking [...]


Weekends

We’ve had some neat weekends with the boys recently. Proving just how “back to the real world” we are getting as they approach a year old. Oh sure we have to be really aware of times and such but it’s getting easier and easier to do the things that us adults enjoy. [...]


you take the good, you take the bad

Forest took two independent steps last night!
I’m constantly testing their knowledge of words and learned the cutest thing the other day. If I ask Forest where “Elmo” is, despite the fact that there are three Elmo’s in our house he goes right to the one dressed like a chicken that Grandmother Karen [...]


Santa

Today we took the boys to sit on Santa’s lap for pictures. Normally I DESPISE the holidays coming early and Santa before Thanksgiving is just sacrilege. However with two little ones it suddenly took on a whole lot of “make sense” when I witnessed no line yesterday. So we went back today [...]


11 month pictures

Yesterday was a lot of fun as the boys had their first exposure to skate boarding. We start ‘em young ’round here. I probably won’t have a lot of time to post in the coming weeks with so much going on. I’m off to Earthsprings this weekend for some more work [...]


never far behind

Forest has been taking steps to us over the past few days. See, it just takes one twin to do something and then the other one is instantly there.
I need to rethink our entire “baby proofing” because Logan can now climb into our living room chairs. Forest can with a little [...]


11 Months Old

Today “the twins” turn 11 months old. It’s so odd to look back at the pictures and realize just how much has changed in such a very short time. In the midst of 12 weeks old I was so unable to imagine this moment, but as any parent will tell you, time goes [...]
