i am weaning so therefore I am nonsensical and given leeway to be so

Monday, February 8th, 2010

I am in the process of weaning Eva but I think I am actually weaning myself.  The main reason I have decided to do this is because she gets up a 1 a.m. and wants to nurse and is restless and nursing until about 5 a.m. when she finally falls back to sleep.  Obviously this [...]

I know, I know, I know….but it’s still hard

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

I think it is time to start training Eva to sleep through the night and do it in her crib.  I know it will be easier if I do it now and it will be harder the longer I wait.  I know that it will be better for her as well; she needs to get [...]

My girl is 1!!!!

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

We went to my mom’s last weekend to celebrate Eva’s first birthday.  I can not believe it has been a year.  I read what I wrote about my delivery and it seems like it just happened.  My life is so different.  I am so different.  With a kid time goes by much faster.  It is [...]

How does this not make you smile?

OK so I know she looks a little crazy but how can a giggle not escape from you when you see this?

sick, run, music

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Eva has an ear infection. It is so sad to see her sick. She only wants me (which is not like her). Last night for about a half hour she just cried and cried. Nothing consoles her, it is awful. It may not be linked to the H1N1 shot who [...]

swine flu vaccine – crapshoot or not??

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

The biggest decision I had to make recently was to get Eva the swine flu vaccine or not. In the beginning I decided not to and felt great about it. It was constantly debated around me but I never entered the debate or gathered information. My pediatrician told me it was safe [...]

Eva cam

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

I took these pictures a while ago and just
stumbled upon them today.
These are from when Eva couldn’t roll over yet
so she had to stare up at where ever I placed her.

At my office looking up at the tree I have. She loved this.

Looking up at me from her car seat.

What she sees when [...]

Doing dishes

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

One of the best things I have experienced is washing dishes in my kitchen
and hearing Eva playing in the living room and then hearing
her cute little hands slapping on the linoleum and then
feeling her sweet little hands tugging at my pants and
then looking down to find this…

Kauai – where the sun rises and sets in the west

Here are my pictures from Kauai.  It was so much fun!
The first picture caption explains the post title.
Pictures first…stories later.  (BTW I did run a marathon and will update soon.)

what a difference a year makes

Friday, August 28th, 2009

I am sitting here alone in my house. It is quiet. Eva is asleep. Clint is gone with a friend. I have actually turned off the TV. All the lights are off and the only sound is the computer and an occasional car outside.

Now is the time reflection comes.

I pulled [...]
