The New Bed and Sleeping like a Baby

Several things added up to horrible back pain for me over the last year. Most were/are baby related but another big piece was Brad’s “firm” mattress. As much as I like going to the chiropractor, it shouldn’t be a monthly thing for upkeep. Even my chiropractor told me that! So we [...]


coincidence or intelligence?

Yesterday and today I moved the boys naps by 10 minutes and they are sleeping really well again. I had been putting them down about 15 minutes before the hour when they started to get fussy because the “experts” say to put them down as soon as they start to act tired. Yeah [...]


Naps and Sleep Changes at 9 Months

I haven’t been able to post in awhile because the boys’ naps are all over the place. Between returning from Vegas, getting colds with lots of snotty noses, Forest trying to learn how to move around and get comfortable on his own, and just in general 9 month old wanting to play instead of [...]


Advancements and Giggles

The boys started doing something pretty amazing this past weekend. They started trying to put the rings on the base, trying to put the cubes into the holes, trying to put the ball onto the truck, to put the shapes into the holes. It’s really neat to watch them understand what to do [...]


8 Full Months

Talk about some busy little boys. Forest and Logan work so hard each day it’s no wonder they sleep so hard at night.
Logan has his first tooth and crawls all over the house. He chases the cats about and climbs up into a standing position from anything and everything at just [...]


nap sweetness

After a rough couple of weeks with Logan occasionally refusing to take naps and having lots of wake ups during the night, things seem to be back to normal again. But then again, what is normal for an almost 8 month old baby?
One of the sweetest things has begun to [...]


sleep, or lack there of

Logan has entered the world of sleep trouble that seems to often come with this age. He is a bear to get down for naps and he has nights when he wakes up every hour and a half or so screaming out into the night. I can’t say that I have some way [...]


7 Months

It’s been awhile since I last posted due to the Aspen trip and then playing catch up all this past week. Aspen was wonderful and it was so good to be with my old friends. But after 3 days I was really missing the boys. I almost didn’t make it home Monday [...]


morning ritual

The boys wake up at 6 AM (well Forest does anyway, Logan about 6:15-6:20 or we wake him up). Following their diaper changes and bottle we spend time playing around in bed. It can be one of my favorite times of the day. Here are some pictures from the weekend showing how [...]


nap frustration

It has begun, the much talked about 6 month nap frustrations. I swear, Logan is a text book case baby. In some ways this is good because I can be prepared and know what to expect. In other ways it sucks because I can always hope to miss out on something right? [...]
