Filed under: dance — Tags: , , , , , , — Christine @ 10:36 am —
  • Julia opened her house for peeps to gather to say hi to me and Will on Thursday, May 14th, Will’s 10 month birthday. After everyone had left, except Jenny, Julia popped on her music set for the following night and started getting her groove on. Will started rocking out with her in his little head [...]

     
     

    Two fisted November 26, 2008

  • 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 [...]

     
     

    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 [...]

     
     

    Forgive Me Blog For I Have Sinned September 24, 2008

    Filed under: maternityshare — Tags: , , — Christine @ 12:04 am —
  • Dear Blog,
    Please forgive me my sins. I have not blogged in eight days…
    I have doubted my writing ability and the quality of my posts that I thought I might write about.
    I have doubted that anyone cares or even reads this blog.
    I have not reached out to the blogging community to foster dialogue and to see [...]

     
     

    Will’s First Smile! September 12, 2008

    Filed under: maternityshare — Tags: , , , — Christine @ 11:46 am —
  • For a few days now Will has been almost smiling. People told me that I will “know” when it is a full on smile and not just about gas.
    Well, today he smiled for sure! Such a big grin and so much like his daddy! :D
    I was giddy, so happy to be there with him, [...]

     
     

    The Wee One September 10, 2008

    Filed under: maternityshare — Tags: , , , — Christine @ 11:44 am —
  • When Will and I are out and about in the world we often get the question that starts with “aww”, then follows with “how old is he?” Today he is just over 8 weeks old. When I told that to the lady in line at Whole Foods she replied “you don’t see ones that young [...]

    Filed under: gifts, maternityshare — Tags: , , , — Christine @ 11:20 pm —
  • I started wearing Will in a baby sling today. I had actually tried it before with little success and confidence but since I have started reading up on the benefits of it I decided to give it another try.
    The sling we are using is the HotSling. My boss’ wife handed it down to us. It [...]

     
     

    Daddy Baby Bath time September 3, 2008

    Filed under: maternityshare — Tags: , , , , — Christine @ 10:50 pm —
  • My friend Dulcinea sent me an article that shows that babies who have bath time with daddy are more socially confident. Findings are based on a 14 year study.
    Billy started taking over bath time after we read this article. They seems to have gotten into a nice groove now that they have done this [...]
