On the Farm
Even with the cold and the snow, life is still happening on the farm. The hubs has a couple of cows that are out of sync with the rest of the herd, and that means winter calves. Mil has enjoyed getting to see the babies. One of the cows decided to be difficult with her…
Read MoreMildred Jane @ 22 Months
We’re getting closer and closer to 2 years every day, and Milli is starting to show it, even if she isn’t getting much bigger. I weighed her last night as we’re still not quite 22lbs. There is seriously a 6-month-old baby at the sitter who is as big as her. But that’s OK. Mil packs…
Read MoreA Happy Holiday
Our home was very busy this holiday season with several Christmas events to attend and lots of new things to do. We managed to make it to 4 different family Christmas parties, our friend Dave’s Crazy Christmas Show on the radio, and Christmas Eve Mass this year, which I think is pretty impressive with a…
Read MoreMildred Jane at 16 Months
Mildred is another month older. It’s hard to believe how fast these months go. We’re past all the major milestones, like crawling and walking, but Mil is still finding lots of things to try and explore. Fair was last week, so she got to go out and spend some time with her dad in the…

Milli is 1 and a quarter years old. And she’s gained some big new skills in the last month. She’s walking everywhere. And she’s learned to climb the stairs. That means a 2nd gate in the house. We only had one at the top of our basement steps when she started crawling. We obviously didn’t…

Read MoreNostalgia
Being in my early 30s, I wouldn’t have that I would be nearly old enough to start being nostalgic about things. But it seems that having Mildred has made me a bit nostalgic for the things I had as a child. I find myself looking at children’s toys and tv shows and wondering when they…
Read MoreMaternity Leave
It’s almost June, which means that my maternity leave is quickly coming to a end. I’m not sure how I feel about that yet. I am looking forward to getting back to a more regular schedule, and being able to talk to adults about things that aren’t my tiny human. During my leave, I…
Read MoreI Need a Nap
Somehow Mildred manages to sleep all the time, but I still don’t manage to get a nap, or any sleep at all, unless someone else is here to watch her. It’s like she knows that I have laid down and she doesn’t like it. Fortunately, there are lots of people who want to hang out…
