You know what? Mini-wheats are incredibly filling. I go through Mini-wheat phases because they really help keep me regular but I do get sick of them. I’m going through a phase now though, I’m always so amazed by how full they keep me. I just thought I’d let you all know that. My husband saved… Continue reading Husband to the Rescue

Silas The Brave
This morning I woke up at 6:30 to a toddler who, again, did not want to play in his crib. Woe is me. We did have an amazing cuddle in my bed which slightly made up for the fact that I was losing out on some precious sleep. Once we were up, I opened the… Continue reading Silas The Brave
17 Months Old
I’m feeling much better today. I hate days like yesterday, they really suck. Silas is 17 months old this week. Time has really flown by since he turned One. His vocabulary continues to grow each day but I don’t think it’s grown as much as it did last month. His incredible memory when it comes… Continue reading 17 Months Old
Sleepy
Goodness I’m sleepy. I had a very full day yesterday but I had a pretty good time getting all those photos done. See my previous post for a little sneak peek at what we did. It took both of us (my girlfriend and I) a little while to get comfortable with the whole situation but… Continue reading Sleepy
Hitting and Biting and Scratching OH MY!
So my darling little Silas has turned into a violent little booger and I’m actually starting to get upset. He does this little hit and claw move where he hits you and then digs his nails in and pulls back, sometimes you get a pinch too. If you hold onto his hands then he will… Continue reading Hitting and Biting and Scratching OH MY!
This and That
Ah, wonderful sunshine. I just sat on my deck for a bit and soaked in some rays while they lasted. It really helps the mood that’s for sure. Silas is still out there playing and singing. Sometimes when he’s out there he shouts “WEEEE” or “EIEIO” very loudly. I’m sure the people on the street… Continue reading This and That
Teething Never Ends
My darling Silas is starting to have a hard time again with his teethies. At least we had a few weeks of really happy baby. The poor kiddo, I can’t believe he’s cut 8 teeth since Christmas, the two molars are hardly cut and the other two are starting to get a bit white on… Continue reading Teething Never Ends
New Leaf
Spring is sure a nice time to be in my nesting phase. I seem to be inspired easily these days and I don’t know if it’s because we’ve actually had a few moments of sunshine or if it’s just all the beautiful flowering trees everywhere. I probably would be right to just chalk it up… Continue reading New Leaf
Nesting Urges.
I’m sneezing from all the dust that is trying to re-settle in my house after I cleaned my room. Yes, you heard me right, I actually CLEANED my room. It was gross in there and all my clothes were nowhere to be found. I actually hung up clothes and folded clothes and I dusted and… Continue reading Nesting Urges.
Swimming, Napping and a Potty.
So I went to the doc yesterday. It was a fine experience except that he got mad at me for not napping. I had a nap today, I hope he’s happy. My pee was fine, my blood pressure was fine, my weight was….fine….I guess. Napping is important so I’ve started even though I’m not the… Continue reading Swimming, Napping and a Potty.
16 Months Old
I just realized that Silas is now 16 months old. Oh to have a birthday every month, I guess we’ve all been through it though. I can’t believe the changes that happen from month to month. This past month his vocabulary has really taken off. He’s learned up, down, shower, water, food, hungry, nose, eyes,… Continue reading 16 Months Old
What I Love About You
My darling Silas, I’ve known you for almost 16 months and I must say, you’ve impacted my life in a way no one else has. You turned my world upside-down and I wouldn’t have it any other way. You’ve shown me that I’m not as selfish as I thought I was and that I can… Continue reading What I Love About You
Dealing With A Toddler’s Tantrums
I’m a tough love kind of person. I’m very tender and very loving towards people but I’m also a bit tough about certain things, I get it from my mom. When it comes to Silas’ tantrums, my first instinct is to say “too bad” and walk away. My mother-in-law pointed out to me that my… Continue reading Dealing With A Toddler’s Tantrums
Taking Matters Into my Own Hands
Sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands. My husband has this problem, his fingers cannot feel a hard mass in muscle tissue therefore he can’t really help me work out my knots in my back. I’m sure there’s a name for this condition of his. Anyway, my back REALLY hurts from… Continue reading Taking Matters Into my Own Hands
WD40 Rocks My World
I’m not in a big computer mood today, even though I still find myself sitting here. I don’t think I’ll write much. Silas is down for his nappy-poo. He just spent a good 5 minutes rolling around on the floor kicking and screaming for reasons only he and God knows. He’s been really happy otherwise. … Continue reading WD40 Rocks My World
