  • Updates on Random

    I’m so sorry for my lack of updates. Between the lollipop business, Elliot, Emory, and pastry school, I’m having a great deal of trouble finding time. But check out this picture of my family? These bastards keep getting in the way of blogging. I know, right? It’s a good thing they’re cute. I’m also in…

  • Some Pictures and a Video.

    Toby took this without my knowing and I love it. How come it’s always the pictures taken without my knowing I enjoy the most? Probably because I stick my tongue out or make an ugly face when I know someone is taking my picture. Anyway… My father took this of the boys while we were…

  • Driving and Puking

    Elliot hates the car. I am not sure how to put this, really. Everything I write here sounds like an exaggeration. But it’s that bad. You’ll just have to take my word for it. Here’s the situation. He tolerates the seat just fine and has sat in it, NOT moving, for a bit without so…

  • My Boys.

    Sorry it’s been so long. But look at this chin! I can’t stop smooching his fat little head. I kind of wish he was a more difficult baby and less squishy cute, because he has me wanting more. MORE BOYS! His favorite person is Emory. No matter how upset or grumpy Elliot is, if Em…

  • House of Sickness

    Forgive me for the lack of posts; it’s been a crazy couple of weeks. First, Elliot got sick. (It had nothing to do with a vaccine; he hasn’t yet received one.) He just came down with Em’s cold, as did I. But having a sick newborn sucks. There’s nothing you can do for them and…

  • Pentacel Vaccine

    Elliot had a well visit last week where I learned that in the last couple of years they’ve combined the DTaP, HIB, and Polio (IPV) vaccinations and created a vaccine called Pentacel. Basically, they’ve combined five vaccinations together, which is great! Now, babies need three shots instead of nine. I am very pro-vaccination. This isn’t about…

  • Elliot. Emory’s Black Eye.

    Elliot and Toby. Elliot started laughing and smiling a week ago, which has made life all the more awesome. Elliot. Five weeks. (He turns six weeks today!) Emory and his latest black eye. He got this jumping over a broomstick. At one point, he tripped and hit the coffee table. I had warned him, and…

  • My Baby Won’t Let Me Put Him Down

    Elliot is a little over 4 weeks old. Things are going well. He sleeps relatively well at night. I am not a zombie in the morning. He wakes up about three times from 8 PM until 7 AM and that’s totally doable. It helps that I’m breastfeeding AND co-sleeping (JUDGE AWAY!) because when he wakes,…

  • Em Diapers His Babies

    Elliot outgrew newborn diapers almost immediately. For a baby who lost so much weight in the first couple of days, he sure seems to be making up for that now. I’m not complaining; I’ve always had a fondness for babies who are so fat their hands look as if they’re popped into their arms at…
