Aaaagh! I want my nights back!

I had no intentions of ever potty training Olivia until she was 2 1/2 or 3. Of course, Livvy had different ideas and we began potty training a few months before her 2nd birthday. The idea was a novelty to her that last…
Well-baby visits

Andy has gained weight! He now weight 17 pounds and is 28 inches long. That puts him in the 0th percentiile for weight and the 5th percentile for height. He's getting bigger though. We can even switch to whole milk, …
Happy Birthday Olivia!

My baby girl turned 2 today! I love her so much. She got lots of puzzles for her birthday which is great because she loves them. She also got more books and a few outfits. Not too many things, though, so that was goo…
Time for Potty Training!

Temper Tantrums - Today's Solution

Ahhh - welcome to the toddler years. Livvy is amazing at throwing tantrums. She has learned the art of screaming. Like the girly-girly high-pitched screeching noise. The worst part is that these tantrums come out of …
Long Break

I know - it's been forever since I posted anything. And it'll probably be an even longer time before I post again. We've been pretty busy with the packing and it's only going to get worse. The kids are doing great! T…
Olivia's Nightlight

About 2 weeks ago, Olivia moved in to a toddler bed and it's been a success! Granted, her crib mattress was on the lowest level, and the toddler bed conversion just involved taking off one side of the crib. We also got…
