My blogs this week have been heavy on words and light on pictures, so I am going to even it out with this blog!! AJ’s birthday party was today, and Ali had a blast!! It was so fun having a park day with LOTS of friends!!! Here are pictures from the festivities: Ali and the […]
What Mommies Don’t Do
I’m feeling pretty decent considering, and I’ve been dying to post this video from last night. It’s dusk and in the car, which is why it starts out dark, then gets lighter. She was talking to herself, and it was cracking us up, so I videoed a bit of it and prompted her to say […]
odds and ends
I have random things on my mind, and instead of making them all into separate posts, you get a three chapter post. Chapter 1. Surgery:I had my appointment with the surgeon this morning, and he was great. He was very nice and filled with explanations of why I needed to go ahead and have the […]
Strategic Play and Dinner
I needed to cook dinner this afternoon (Which, by the way, after writing about it this morning and craving it, I made Pork and Spinach with Egg and Lemon Sauce), and Ali is going through a rather clingy stage, due to neverending teething. She played for a little while, but then kept saying “Mommy Hold […]
She IS Like Me!!
So you remember when I was so excited that Ali was finally portraying a personality characteristic of mine? She has another one!! This one may cause her serious injury down the road, though. No, she’s not sleepwalking yet (well, she is in a crib, so you never know), but she is on the first step […]
A View from the Other Side of the Trip
This post is by a guest contributor – Gramamma!! Mom asked if she could write a blog about Ali’s stay last weekend while Chris and I were in Atlanta on our date/football trip, and of course I loved the idea of having a guest writer, so here it is! I think she should consider becoming […]
A Shameless "All-Pictures-Of-Our-Child" Blog – A Day in Tuscaloosa.
We sold our tickets this week and just came for the day to hang out so that we could bring Ali to soak up some atmosphere. Which means getting to T-Town (1 1/2 hr drive) at a generous 9am (generous because Chris used to want to get here before daybreak. Thank goodness for Ali!!). Why […]
a "huts" day
Ali has been a bit down today because, as she has been telling me all day, “mouf huts”. Also, to confuse the matter, a “tummy huts”, a couple “nose huts”, and a few “head huts” thrown in for good measure. Ali is not one to cry wolf with the “hut” claim. Well, except for when […]
We missed her, as is evidenced by the vast amount of photos.
First of all: To my Aunts and Cousins who will be checking this blog for a thorough pictorial documentation of the family picnic: Forgive me because it seems that we took more pictures of our own child than of the picnic. We missed her. What can I say? Maybe Lindsay was more unbiased than we […]
Lessons in Morality
Ali hasn’t hit the terrible two’s yet, of course, but there have been a few times that she has hit out of frustration. Usually inanimate objects or even herself are her objects of wrath, but a couple of times her hand has made it to Mommy. So we’ve been learning about what you can hit […]
