At 22 months old, Sophia’s vocabulary and ability to form a sentence has simply exploded. I cannot think of another way to describe it. She has gone from sentences like, “I sit,” to “I wanna sit down now,” in mere weeks. I was excited about three word sentences and find myself scratching my head and [...]

I work outside the home.
My child spends all day in daycare.
I only nursed her until she was 3 months old.
My husband cooks dinner most nights.
I have been known to leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight.
There is always, at least, one basket of unfolded laundry somewhere in my home.
I hire a cleaning lady.
I don’t own [...]
Mommy to the rescue??

This weekend I saved Sophia…or thought I was anyway. I am not sure if anyone other than a mom can really get what I mean because I am sure I would not have “gotten” this before I had Sophia.
Here is how it went down. We were at my family’s house for my dad’s birthday. There [...]
Family Photos!
Posted in baby, family, pictures, tagged family portraits, the picture people on July 27, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Other than snapshots taken by family and friends, we had never had a formal family photo session. At least not since my maternity session and while Sophia was able to make a semi-appearance even then, I don’t think a belly bump really counts.
This weekend we went to The Picture People and had a family portrait taken. We got some [...]
Sophia at Sunday Mass
Posted in baby, family, tagged children at church on July 27, 2009 | 1 Comment »
When we go to mass we always sit in the children’s room. It is totally sound proof so that the other parishioners are not distracted by the volume and frequency of my child’s comments. She does not say anything at a low volume. I whisper, “Sophia, be quiet,” and Sophia yells back at me, “Be [...]
Harry Potter is back!

I don’t know about you – but as the Harry Potter series continues it seems to get better and better to me. Following the path of the books you see it getting darker as Harry grows up and realizes what is coming. Originally slated for release in November of 2008, Harry Potter and the Half [...]
Welcome Christopher Noel!

My first nephew on my husband’s side was born last week. He weighed in at 8lbs 13oz and was 20.25 inches long. He joins two older sisters who instantly fell in love with their “baby boy”. However, Sophia was unimpressed with him the first time she met him. She took a quick look and then [...]
My Miscarriage
Posted in changes, pregnancy/maternity on July 9, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Its strange the way things work out. My husband and I have always wanted a family. We have always talked about having around 3 kids (he thinks 4 but I don’t take him seriously). Definitely more than one child. I went off birth control in March so that I could give me body a few [...]
