Ten

September 8, 2007

The pumpkin is 10 months old this week. One of my friends is pregnant with twins and asked me what the hardest part is, do I miss the days of it just being Rick, Cooper & me, and when does it finally become real that you’re having a baby.
I told her the hardest part was in the beginning, not having any fricking clue what the problem is when she was crying. Is it because she’s tired/hungry/wet/gassy/colicky? I also have a hard time being the primary caregiver due to Rick’s work schedule; I think getting married later and being an older …

Fire up! It's Saturday!

September 1, 2007

First football game this afternoon!! The car is all packed, jello shots are ready and now I’m just waiting for Mallory to wake up.
I woke up extra early so that I wouldn’t forget anything so since I have a few minutes (I think) before MC wakes up, I’ll share some of Mallory’s latest tricks: She is getting BEYOND independent. If I’m walking with her holding her little hands in my fingers and  I try to change her direction towards where I want her to go, she shrieks in protest and sits down. And she is obsessed with having her sippy cup …
