My Little Bookie Lou- Milestones

Here are the top ten awesomest things Avery’s doing right now:
10. Making razzing noises with her lips and tongue, complete with a face full of drool.
9.  Scratching everything. She reaches her little hand out and runs her fingers over whatever the object is. It’s precious.
8. Playing the “Shy Girl” game. Anyone with kids knows it [...]

The Sixth Annual Halloween Bash!

Sorry it took me a while to get this up! Lots going on these days!
What a GREAT party this year. I can honestly say it could be my favorite yet. The food was really good, and everyone went ALL OUT with their costumes. That’s really makes the party, you know? Why bother going all out [...]

Christmas Consternation

Even though it’s a little too early in my book to deck the halls with boughs of holly, the stores and commercials on TV are doing exactly what they set out to do: get me and the rest of the world in the Christmas spirit.
Which splits me in half between excitement and dread.
 
Excited about the [...]

Wonder Dog, Wonderful Moments, Weather, and Work

This morning was really special to me. I woke up with Gunnar in my face. He was whining and grunting at me as I lay in bed. Usually he will do this if he has to pee (and with the nasty weather he hasn’t wanted to go out much) but he brought me right into [...]

My Two Kids

Last night I had the privilege of spending family QT with my two “kids” while Mikey had to go into work.

Avery’s starting to become very interested and curious of Gunnar. She likes to watch his whirling dervishes and crazy laps around the house when he becomes excited, or watch him play with a dog toy.
She [...]

She did REALLY well. We told her that we would both have our phones on us in case of any emergency, big or small, and to please call us if she had [...]

Going Bananas for Solid Food

I just couldn’t wait till tonight, so we did a test run last night.
 
We busted out the “big girl” highchair, which is really nice because it attaches to any chair, so it’s portable, always matches the rest of our chairs and doesn’t take up more room. Now, we’re one less chair in the dining [...]

Friday’s Five Little Things

Ok, so I thought I would start a new weekly post. My very first attempt at a “weekly” post. My friend Suz does it all the time but I’m more hit-and-miss, and randomly talk about whatever’s happening in my crazy life at that moment.
Every Friday (hopefully) I will post five thigns I’m thinking about, or [...]
