The First Year

Livi has been able to roll over from her back to her stomach for a few weeks. At first, it was just an awesome sign of development, and now it’s starting to give us anxiety because she’s doing it in her sleep. When we put her into her bed on her back, she’ll roll over…

Back when we thought Livi was a boy, we couldn’t agree on a name. We had a list of favorites, but nothing stood out. (I still really love the name Remington, though!) When we found out the baby was indeed a girl, picking a name was a lot easier. Even though we had a few…

-I’m kind of addicted to the Babycenter forums. I discovered them a few months ago, but it’s pretty amazing because you can check out the forums for the month your baby was born: It’s fun to see how other moms and babies are doing, and read advice and tips. I lurk it a few times…

I didn’t think it was possible, but this little face continues to get cuter every day… and continues to amaze me with how quickly she’s growing and developing, her funny expressions, tiny laughs, smiles and movements. 3 crazy amazing months 🙂 What’s going on right now: -She’s starting to really understand her hands and feet.…

It’s been a crazy week over here. -Tom flying nights (again- oh how I loathe night flights. When he gets home in the middle of the night, he calls me to wake me up so I can take Bella downstairs and hold her when he comes in. If she hears the door open from upstairs,…

Remember my April Fool’s joke? It was more of a “I hope I’m joking” kinda thing. I know now that I’m not preg, but I was totally wondering-thinking in the back of my mind that I might be. Not gonna lie- it scared the bejeezus out of me. For our first pediatrician appointment, two days…

Sound like an oxymoron, huh? Well it kind of is 😉 Working out with an infant is tough stuff, but it can happen, whether it’s in short little blurbs during the day, accidental exercise (you’re bending down a ton and carrying around a heavy little thing all day), late at night or early in the…

One of the girls at work is about 37 weeks pregnant, and I can’t help but look at her belly and think “I miss that.” Especially yesterday, when it was my first time teaching Zumba at work without my favorite dance partner… Here are some of the things I miss, and don’t quite miss, about…

It’s end of an era over here… Two nights ago was Liv’s first night in her crib and also without her swaddle. We figured it was time to stop since she busts out of it every night anyway and she can roll over from back to tummy. She’s almost too big for the bassinet, so…

One of the questions I get pretty frequently is if I plan for Liv to eat the same way I do. Tom and I have talked about this a little bit, but it’s always been understood that she’ll eat like he does: whatever we have or I cook at home, and whatever else we may…

Oh my….. April Fools! Another one would be a blessing, but we’d like to wait a little while 😉 Hope you’re having a happy Sunday <3

-Really, BabyBump App? I’m 52 weeks pregnant! -When I kiss Liv on the cheek, she turns her face towards me and licks my cheek. Her version of a kiss, I guess 🙂 -She also started to realize that everyone loves it when she smiles… so she smiles, mouth wide open, all the time. It’s the…
