life with a new baby
Stepping forward
Well, I hope all you moms out there had a wonderful Mother’s Day this weekend! Mine was perfect… I seriously couldn’t have asked for anything better. Paul got up with Nathan in the morning, got him dressed, did all his feedings, cleaned up his messes, vacuumed, washed Nathan’s dirty dishes, and even changed every single dirty diaper… even all the poopy ones! I didn’t have to lift a finger all day, and it was wonderful! He also got me a bouquet of flowers and a card. I felt so loved and so appreciated… and I admit, sleeping in was probably one of the best parts of the day! Then, he even watched Nathan for a while so I could get out of the house and hang out with my mom for a few hours.
In other news, NATHAN TOOK HIS FIRST STEP yesterday! His first Big Boy step. The first step that he did on his own, without holding onto nearby furniture for assistance. Nathan was holding onto the coffee table and Paul was standing a few feet behind him. Nathan let go of the coffee table and took a giant, unassisted step towards his daddy!
It won’t be long before he’s mastered this new skill and those little feet will be pitter-pattering all over the place.

First visit to the dentist
about 1 week ago - No comments
Ok, so remember last time I talked about Nathan face-planting in a parking lot and knocking his two front teeth loose? Well, this post is about the ensuing dentist visit. Nathan hadn’t been to a dentist yet. It was something on our to-do list, but for some reason, I thought that kids didn’t need to More >
Easter Pics!

Me, Nathan, and Paul when we first got to Paul’s grandparents’ house for some delicious food followed by some egg-hunting… all following a beautiful Easter service at our church. Of course, it can sometimes be incredibly difficult to convince a three-year-old to sit still for a picture, but we were finally able to get a More >
Mama bird

So we’ve discovered that a bird has built a nest in one of our bushes by the front porch. I don’t know why I find this so neat, but I like watching her sit on her three little eggs. I’m pretty sure she’s a cardinal due to the red coloring on her wings and tail, More >

Little Nathan’s such a big boy

I’m so glad spring is here!! It’s been a warmer-than-normal winter here in Tennessee, so everything is blooming earlier. Which I like. Because I like spring. I feel all happy and spinning-around-in-circles giddy. I also like spring because it gives me this energy after enduring the drab slump of winter. I like to get my More >

Potty training, here we come
about 2 months ago - No comments
Big news in the house: Nathan is on the verge of being potty trained!! I’ve been working with him since last summer. Yes, it has taken MONTHS! I knew he was nowhere near ready, but I wanted to go ahead and introduce the idea to him. I didn’t push him and just let him get More >

Improvement!
about 2 months ago - No comments
You know how we’ve been having a bear of a time convincing Nathan to stay in bed at night? Well, you won’t believe this. Finally, after weeks of trying everything we could think of, there has been- gasp!- improvement! Nathan’s still getting up at night, but only 1-3 times as opposed to multiple times. When More >
Birthday boy!

Well, I had a doctor’s appointment yesterday concerning this ongoing neck and shoulder pain I’ve been having. I thought it was slowly mending itself, but then the pain flared up again. The stiffness and accompanying dull aching sensations in my whole shoulder and neck area was becoming unbearable. So anyway, my doctor thinks that I either More >
