The Thanksgiving Holiday was a good one. My Mom-in-law thought that I might have been wigged out by the reservation, and I was thinking I might be, to be honest. We didn’t experience any pan handling or get chased by any stray rez dogs (even though there was a beautiful blue boxer mix that I [...]
We’re home! We spent Thanksgiving in Many Farms, AZ with John’s parents. They are serving a mission on the Navejo reservation and we brought our Camper down to get tons of cuddles from Grandma and Grandpa and eat lots o’ food. Well, bottles, anyway. It was a really good visit, and I’ll update more on [...]
I think we’re learning how to “embrace” Camper’s sleeping schedule. A friend of mine told me that she gives her baby boy warm bottles at night, as opposed to room temperature, and that it helps him sleep longer. I was reluctant to try warming bottles because I was afraid that Camper wouldn’t take the lukewarm [...]
Everyone had weird dreams last night! John woke up and told me he had a dream that he was driving and was pulled over. That’s not the bad part, apparently they cops thought he was driving with our baby on his lap and took Camper away and wouldn’t give him back. He had to call [...]
I went to campus this morning. I was expecting to be hit by a huge wave of nostalgia, but I was not. Maybe I haven’t been far away enough to get hit by the smell and the atmosphere. Usually when I walk back into a place I spent so much time I take one whiff [...]
Camper got us good tonight. Power puked and rebounded off his swadle (oh, the swadle), then Daddy’s chest and Mommy’s pants. Miraculously, none ended up on the floor. Nice job. He then pooped his clean pants and I swear, giggled. He is talking SO MUCH lately. He’s been saying, “Gooo.” So today I decided to [...]
It’s been a few days…I’m not sure why I haven’t posted. I’m actually not sure when I posted last, could have been yesterday for all I know. But it feels like at least a couple of days. Yesterday was nice, Alicia brought her baby over for a visit and we took a look at her [...]
I woke up rather early today, as most days…because of my beautiful baby boy and his feeding habits. For all those who are interested, we took him for his 2 month appointment yesterday. He weighs 12 lbs. 2 oz., and is 24 inches long. When he was born he was 8 lbs. 11 oz. and [...]
John basically intro’d this post for me, so I thought I’d follow through. Out of all the artists at the concert last night, he liked Meiko. All the artists were actually talented, well-trained, and interesting. Some were interesting good, some were interesting bad. I liked a few, but out of the ones I didn’t like, [...]
I apparently will do anything to get my kid to smile. After changing his monstrously poppy diaper, I started humming, and when he broke out in a grin I found myself dancing around (spirit fingers and all) singing Anchors Aweigh at the top of my lungs. I have to figure out more than Anchors Aweigh…my…la [...]
