CORBAN Corban joined his first t-ball league this spring. Just over an hour once or twice a week. We've enjoyed spending time together as a family cheering him on! (And picking flowers, running around, etc.) He's our little athletic one, that boy. Uncle Jon came for a visit on...

I do so hate when my babies are sick, but they just never seem to be as still (and precious).  Liddi's started walking right at 13 months (par for the course around here) and was ready to start scootering the next week. Our weekly book one week was The Gingerbread Man, so...

"I don't know what that is, but I do know that I WANT IT!" "What's all this singing about, and why's everyone looking at me?" "Guess I'll just have to do the touch test first." "Thanks, but I don't need anything to confine my piece of deliciousness here." "Mmm...

James took Jaeda (or did Jaeda take James) to a Daddy-Daughter Dance. She'd been planning on it for OVER a year. Pearl necklace and all. Our Liddi Bitty turned one. And is all just a blur of movement. I'm lucky to have any pics of her! (Corban is constantly touching, hugging, kissing his baby sister. He...

This girl has been in 12 month clothing for a couple months! I was not prepared, but thankfully, the grandmas were:) She smiles all day. Especially when we let her eat by herself. Unsupervised, she prefers to eat crayon. Oy. She DOWNED this pear and loved every minute of it! Once in her...

Chewing everything. (That onesie's now in the too-small bag.) Studying everything. Drooling everywhere. Too cool to smile. Learning to sit up. (She's a pro now.) Cheeks rounding out. (Just like Jaeda's.) Fast asleep. (We came in the door, and I laid her on the carpet while I brought the groceries, etc in. [Because you know if...

There once was a little girl named Jaeda who loved to swing from grown-up arms. One day, she jumped too hard and got a bad owie. Of course, they were visiting family in Michigan. Her mom and grammie took her to urgent care. They were too nervous with Jaeda's owie. So...

This little girl with the round face (that's only getting rounder) is a nursing and sleeping champ. She's not, however, a very good awake champ. It's been over a week of general waketime fussiness. I'm thinking a growth spurt? So much eating. So much sleeping. (So much fussing.) But in her happy awake moments (which...

Liddi is exploring her facial control, playing with her tongue, and experimenting with her vocal cords. We do response cooing and plenty of staring at each other. In fact, more than I realized! The other day, I was reading a blog on my phone while...

After riding a two-wheeler with training wheels most of last summer, we had Corban try a balance bike. It took him a while to push his feet against the ground versus pedals. But he became quite adept at it and was lifting his feet up, gliding,...
