  • Will is now grabbing toys hanging down from his jungle gym in each hand.
    Just last week he was grabbing one with one hand then reaching over and grabbing with his other hand as well. Today I saw him going to town with both arms swinging and batting at the toys that hang down on [...]

     
     

    Cooking November 22, 2008

  • I am aspiring to become a good cook. I am going to start out with some basic recipes that are more traditional like pastas, casseroles and such. After I get a few of those under my belt (successfully) I will move on to more elaborate dishes.
    So, my radar is now primed to be on the [...]

  • What do you do when you don’t see eye-to-eye with your partner?
    You can:
    A. agree to disagree
    B. hold it against them
    C. passive aggression
    D. leave
    E. negotiate (but won’t this option just end up falling in one of the above?)
    Some say that life won’t bring to you anything that you aren’t strong enough to handle.
    Ok.
    But, there [...]

     
     

    Portland Places I Need to Visit November 20, 2008

  • How is that in my quest to learn more about food and cooking I have come across some amazing Portland business that I am dying to try out. Here I am in the Bay Area far away from them. Today would be a perfect day to head over to Sweet Pea Baking Company. Mmmm-a-licious. They [...]

     
     

    Will Laughs! November 19, 2008

    Filed under: maternityshare — Tags: , — Christine @ 1:47 pm —
  • Will laughed for reals for the first time yesterday. He has been working up to laughing with little ‘ha’s and ‘ha-ha’s but yesterday it was a laugh! Sort of a giggle.
    He was upset and I was trying to distract and cheer him so I make this gibba-gibba-ga gibba sort of nonsense sound over and over [...]

     
     

    Mom Flu November 17, 2008

    Filed under: healh — Tags: , — Christine @ 10:53 pm —
  • Oh dear. I have the flu. I had wondered when this would happen as it would eventually. Being a mom to a little one while being sick challenging. I took it pretty easy most of the day but I think that Will didn’t appreciate that. It seemed to lessen his coping skills with teething and [...]

     
     

    Greatful & Worn November 8, 2008

    Filed under: maternityshare — Tags: , , — Christine @ 2:19 pm —
  • Man am I tired today. And I have a headache. I believe that I am not so desirable company today and my in-laws are in town. I want to be happy and entertaining but I can’t keep it up, my jolly attitude keeps derailing itself like a gutter-ball. I usually get in some morning nap [...]

     
     

    Company & White Noise

  • We have Billy’s parent’s visiting this weekend. It has been nice to see them get to bond some more with Will. Today, Billy’s mom did a bunch of housework for me today. I also worked even though she intended to give me a break from all that. I was just so excited to go with [...]
