Back in the saddle again…

21 Feb

Unsurprisingly, parenting a 2.5 year-old has taken a good deal of time, and the thing that has fallen by the wayside is this blog. I keep thinking I need to get back to it, partially to share information with family & friends and partially to document the little milestones I might not capture otherwise. That said, I’m honestly going to do my best to re-start this blog. As before, I’m going to be protecting the posts and images that largely pertain to my family. Hopefully I have content of interest to share!

Catching up

12 Aug

I have been seriously neglectful of this blog lately! Especially considering I depend on it so much for historical purposes, that can’t continue! I’m working on editing a new video of Audrey reading & hiding in her diapers.com boxes. She’s getting more verbal every day and is really enjoying watching everything & participating in the world around her. It’s amazing to watch her! I especially love seeing her interpersonal relationships develop. One of her best friends at school is an adorable girl who is much more innately adventurous than she is, so seeing them work out their individual roles in the friendship is a lot of fun. Sometimes they interact and hug, and then suddenly they become very independent. Audrey is also still a very empathetic little girl. She routinely kisses our “owwies” and then declares that they are better. 🙂 She just keeps getting more & more fun… amazing!!

Weird day

1 Mar

Audrey has been sleeping a ridiculous amount today. It’s almost like she knows the days Ransom is going to get up with her and purposely sleeps in then. The first night she slept through the night was on one of his first days getting up with her. This morning, she slept until we woke her at 11. Then, a nap at 4 lasted for 2 hours. I tried keeping her up late to help her sleep through the night, but she only stayed awake until about 8:45. She’s not sick and seems to be in a pretty good mood. Oh, I hope she sleeps through the night!!

Quick project

Tonight I finished a quick little project for Valentine’s Day. This is a little felt hair clip, made using directions at http://www.purlbee.com/rose-barrettes/ . I have a few more to make (hopefully I’ll get a little better!). Audrey’s hair probably isn’t long enough to support this now, but maybe in the future!
