A Very Nice Mother’s Day

by Elizabeth on May 14, 2012

I can’t believe that my second Mother’s Day has come and gone.  We had such a nice day yesterday.  The day started off a little dreary, but the sun did come out.  We have had many warmer Mother’s Days (last year was quite warm), but the upper 60′s wasn’t bad.  The only downer to the day was that Jason had to work and his shift went late, so he wasn’t able to join us for dinner.  He brought me home a bouquet of white tulips (my favorite flower), so he made up for it.

Mommy Intuition

by Elizabeth May 10, 2012

We all know the saying to watch out because mom has eyes in the back of her head. As kids we knew that our mother’s were all knowing.  Mommy intuition is an amazing thing.  As soon as your child is born, sometimes even before their born, you create a special bond with your child that [...]

by Elizabeth May 6, 2012

With Nick now a year old the days of bottle use are numbered.  It seems like it was just yesterday that I was cleaning Nick’s bottles and getting them all ready for when we got home from the hospital. Choosing the right bottle can be a difficult task.  Never mind that some babies don’t take [...]

Living For Today

by Elizabeth April 30, 2012

I have a very bad habit.  I spend so much time looking forward to the big things down the road (such as our upcoming vacation!) that I don’t pay enough attention to what’s going on right then and there.  I know that it’s not a good habit.  The present doesn’t always seem important when it’s [...]

12 Month Well Visit

by Elizabeth April 25, 2012

Besides the 12 month mark meaning that my baby is now one it also means that it was time for the next well visit, and this one included a lot of big shots.  I’m always excited to go and see how Nick is growing, but I hate the shots almost as much as Nick does. [...]

Nick’s First Birthday

by Elizabeth April 23, 2012

I can’t believe Nick’s first birthday has come and gone.  A year seems so long, but not when you have a baby.  I was a bit sad to see it come, but I was excited for it as well. Tweet

  Dear Nick, Well Monkey, today is your first birthday.  Happy birthday!  One year ago today was one of the best days of my life. I’ll never forget when they first put you in my arms and I finally got to see what you looked like.  You were so small and perfect.  It was almost [...]

The Difference A Year Can Make

by Elizabeth April 19, 2012

  I really can’t believe that tomorrow is Nick’s birthday.  A year ago I couldn’t wait for Nick to make his arrival and now I wish I could slow down time. I’m shocked over how fast the year has been.  The typical cliche is to have people tell you that time will fly by, and [...]
