It has been two months since I did a moments post and I’m afraid this will be a large post with lots of catch-up. Going all the way back to the beginning of February…. My mom brought a box of toys at the beginning of winter from my childhood. I kept the box hidden in Emily’s…

Emily has developed a love for small spaces. She hides behind the chair in her bedroom or climbs into the laundry basket. Sometimes she brings things with her and hangs out by herself, but often she wants to have a really intense game of peek-a-boo. In the case of the laundry basket she likes to…

This week Emily has been learning all sorts of new things. While we were washing dishes together today she figured out how to get her own sponge wet from the faucet. That was not nearly as fun as filling up a small cup with water and shaking it around. She laughed so hard when she…

Emily loves putting on her (and our) winter apparel. Andrew helped her out with his gloves and she loved waving her arms around in them. She reminds us of a penguin/hockey player with them on. I had to run an errand without Emily so Andrew came home and spent some time with her and made…

Emily does not like hats, so I was surprised when she found a headband and put it on her head and ran around. She still doesn’t like it when we put hats/headbands on her, but if she finds it she loves putting it on and wearing it. Emily has become my dish washing buddy! This…

This gem takes us all the way back to August, when Emily and I were with my parents for a couple of weeks. She is a morning person, and she really liked all of the books and toys my family had put together for her. Shortly after we all moved back to Indiana officially, I…

This week I’ve had to slow down and step back just a little bit to recuperate from our lifestyle this summer and gear up for the busy weeks ahead. Plus I discovered Emily’s second tooth today, which explains why we haven’t been getting much sleep at night. There has been a lot of book reading for…

We are just 12 hours away from Andrew completing his second full week on the job. It has been (and will continue to be) a pretty intense summer with his crazy hours. We are living on miracles, he and I. Neither of us get much sleep these days; Emily is waking up so often I…

Emily has been growing so fast it is hard for me to keep up with her daily developments. To illustrate this, a brief story. Last week I was holding Emily and went to put something in the cupboard above the sink. A few minutes later I looked down and she was holding a container I…

February was an absolute blur, but here are a few snapshots from our daily happenings. Andrew found the hat that his family gave us before Emily was born (for Guido or Gwendolyn). We had her wear it for Halloween but it was HUGE on her little newborn head. Now it fits perfectly. Andrew was bouncing…
