At Charlie’s last well baby visit, our pediatrician encouraged us to get rid of the awesome, comforting pacis Charlie refers to as “nay nays.” When I asked if this could be a gradual process, he said he thought doing it “cold turkey” was best. Soooo, because we think highly of our doctor and have liked…

Charlie had fun tearing the play dough into little pieces… Chewing on his burp cloth and fingers, and checking out his toys. Locking and unlocking things. He was recently playing with my keys while we were at someone else’s house, and we lost them!! After looking for a while, we finally found them buried deep…

One Sunday morning as Jimmy and I were getting ready for church, we heard “Weeeeeee!” coming from Charlie’s room. This is what we found:  Giddyup!! He was rockin’ up a storm! This precious wooden horse was handmade for him and given to me at my first baby shower. I set him on it one day…

I have been wanting to take Charlie to Pullen Park all summer long and finally got the chance to recently. When Henry had his special time at Granddaddy and Granana’s house, I took my boy out on a date! We headed to the park for a day filled with lots of outside fun. We started…

Shortly after returning from Atlanta, Charlie got to go spend some time with Granana and Granddaddy. Then Henry got to go the next week. Three cheers for time with grandparents! The day that I took Charlie to Virginia was a fun treat! Daniel dropped Mom off so she could help me get the boys ready….

We recently packed our two babies and all their stuff (and a little bit of our stuff, too…) and headed south on I-85 for what has become the annual “halfway point” visit with our Tennessee gang! The past two years we’ve met in Pigeon Forge, TN, but this year we decided that Atlanta would be…
