So, we have let our little guy sleep in our bed for way too long. We have been very bad at having Jonah sleep in his room. It is definitely time to get him to sleep in his own room now. He is just so wiggly and it's making us have problems sleeping. It just seems like it is going to be a long journey, to get him to sleep on his own. It is looking kind of like a long road ahead before he sleeps in there willingly. I took me laying down in there with him, to get him to fall asleep. It will be h... Read Full Story

So, the other morning Adam was changing Jonah and he said," dada." He has been saying it nonstop ever since. He is just so darn cute. So far, this is my favorite age. He is a little person now. I know the teething hasn't been fun, but he is turning into a little boy and it's so cool. Yesterday I went upstairs to grab something and on my way back down, Jonah was sitting next to the front door. He had climbed from the bottom of the stairs up. He then proceeded to crawl the rest of the stairs wh... Read Full Story

So, lately we have noticed that Jonah has been having swollen gums, chewing on everything, and has bumpy gums. Today I just saw for the first time, his first tooth about to cut through his gums. I am so excited for him but also kinda sad that he isn't going to a baby much longer. He is now almost nine months and I just can't believe it. I can't wait for his tooth to cut all the way. He has been a bit fussy but nothing too bad. I am just so excited for him. Read Full Story

So, now that my son is constantly on the move, it has become difficult to do a diaper change. We have now figured out why there are straps on the changing table. Not only does he not keep still, but he loves grabbing for the diaper. He tends to either get poo on his hands, or it gets on his feet. Changing diapers has gotten SO messy. I swear it's the funniest thing trying to get his diaper on. I am constantly wrestling with him to get it on. Read Full Story

Jonah has really gotten the hang of standing recently. While my husband was getting ready for work, Jonah was standing up looking at himself in the mirror. I have no idea if he knew it was him, or thought it was another baby. It was the cutest thing ever though! He was trying to touch and kiss the baby in the mirror. I got some cute photos of it. We just thought it was the coolest thing. Read Full Story

So, I don't know how many people have experienced this or not but trying to find people to hang out with babies is hard. I was telling my husband the other day it's like dating. You meet new people, hang out, and see if you get along. It's really sort of funny. I have used things like moms like me, which is online and also joined a moms group. I just sometimes feel that I don't really fit in with the women I have met. I guess I just have high expectations in meeting people with babies. I just... Read Full Story

So, this weekend Jonah will be seven months old. He is already crawling and as of today can pull himself into a standing position. I can't believe how fast he is hitting these milestones. I also can't believe how fast this year is going by. It seems like just yesterday we brought him home from the hospital. Now that fall is coming, I can't wait for all the cool stuff that is to come. I am super excited about celebrating the holidays with our little guy in the house. I love the holidays and it... Read Full Story

So, our son has been sleeping horribly lately. He wakes up about four times a night now. He was just waking up once a night, which we could totally handle, but now it's ALL the time. The weird thing is, that there is no pattern to it. One night it might be every hour, but another night it might be every couple of hours. I have tried everything possible to get him to sleep better i.e. feeding him tons of food and having a routine. It seems to be just the way he is. He wakes up for the day feel... Read Full Story

So, our little guy has really taken off. He is now full on crawling. Before it was more of an army crawl, now he is full on moving. I put him down in the living room this morning to check my e-mail, I looked over and he had made it to the kitchen. He was headed for the dog bowl, where he was playing with Toby's food. I know the saying is like father like son, but this is more like mother like son. I remember my mother telling me how when visiting my grandfather, I was trying to eat the cat's ... Read Full Story

My son has just now started to eat solid food. We started feeding him solids a few weeks ago. Until recently his diapers really weren't so bad but now they are awful. He usually only has one really nasty diaper a day but it is a doozy. It's like you have to wear a nose plug while changing it. It also seems to get everywhere now. He really just has wet diapers during the day but that one poopy diaper is just awful. Before there was really no smell whatsoever, now it will just blow you away. I ... Read Full Story
