Where did my Baby go?

Mommy Steph — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 01:30:06 +0000

Megan is now 7 months old. Where did the time go?! I look at her sometimes and feel like she was just born days ago. Time is flying and sometimes I really wish I could slow it down. I want to keep her a little baby forever. But, on the other hand, it is so [...]

Dictionary For Three Year Old’s

Mommy Steph — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 02:33:07 +0000

Everyone’s kids have words that they make up or pronounce in really cute ways. Here’s an example of our toddler dictionary. These words keep us smiling and laughing. hokeydoctor = helicopter We love to ask Little E to say this word over and over! snake = steak He is a great eater and loves to eat lots of [...]

Great Start to the Day

Mommy Steph — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:52:55 +0000

This morning Little E and I were laying on my bed cuddling and playing cars. He looked at me, gave me a hug and said, “I love you Mommy, this much in the whole, wide world. I’m happy you’re here.” Awwww… So bring on the baby spit up, dirty diapers and juice spills. I wouldn’t trade this job [...]

Imaginary Friend

Mommy Steph — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 01:34:44 +0000

I never had an imaginary friend as a kid. But, I did have a great imagination. My brother and I would play for hours and hours together pretending I was the teacher and he was the student or I was the cook and he was the customer. Yes, I thought it was sooo much fun to [...]

Sick Day

Mommy Steph — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 01:14:42 +0000

So, I woke up on Monday morning and wanted to call in sick. Stay in bed, watch cheesey daytime movies, drink lots of sprite. Then I heard the noises on the baby monitor next to me that reminded me that I have two kids and there isn’t anyone to call to take my place for the [...]

Mommy Guilt

Mommy Steph — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 03:07:57 +0000

Mommy Guilt - I’m sure we have all dealt with this at some point. And I was all prepared to write about my guilt this week concerning breastfeeding and how I decided to start weaning Baby M. I was going to vent about how it’s been stressful feeding her because I don’t have enough milk [...]

San Francisco With A Baby

Mommy Steph — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 04:33:26 +0000

My husband is attending a conference in San Francisco this week so Baby M and I tagged along. We decided to leave Little E at home this time. I didn’t think it would be a good idea to tackle a new, big city, a three hour time change, a 4 month old and 3 year [...]

The Second Time Around

Mommy Steph — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 01:24:03 +0000

So, I’m on round two. Little E is three and Baby M just turned 4 months old. I have a little experience with the baby stage. If I had to complete a resume prior to having Baby M, I would have put “Well Qualified in all aspects of babyhood - sleep training expert, breastfeeding pro [...]

The Late-Afternoon Crazies

Mommy Steph — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 03:08:28 +0000

I refer to the time period between 4:00 and 5:30 pm (or whenever my husband comes home) as the “late-afternoon crazies.” I think most Mom’s can agree that this time period can often be the longest of the entire day. It is some strange time warp where things that should normally take 30 minutes (like cooking dinner), [...]
