Life sure does happen, doesn't it?  Really.  My last post was forever ago and instead of explaining my whereabouts I'll be short (not one of my typical characteristics) and sweet.  TA was born in June of 2011 so between her and my wild 2 year old I've just been slightly busy.  Oh yeah, and two months before she was born we moved into a new (to us) home.  Oh yeah, and

Well DJ is now one year old which still baffles me that an entire year has gone by since he was born.  I never could have imagined that time could fly so quickly.  I am really trying to appreciate each day and am so blessed that I have the ability to stay home with him. We are in the process of bottle weaning and I have to admit, it's probably more difficult for me to give up the

DJ, my mom, and I went to visit Jessie and Marion today.  I was so happy to see DJ feeling better.  We left just before his morning nap and headed home around the time of his second nap.  This worked out beautifully and he slept most of the time in the car.  We had such a nice visit with them and I believe DJ enjoyed himself and his new surroundings as well.  He got to

I took Mr. Sweetness (as he's commonly referred to when he's sick) to the pediatrician today after his fever spiked.  For some reason the last few times he has had a fever it's been on a Friday.  I swear the health insurance gods have it out for me.  Any other day during the week and I'd wait it out another day but on Friday, I'm taking him in.  I of course was told that it

DJ woke up this morning with a low grade fever and has been running one on and off all day.  I've been giving him Tylenol every 4 hours and called the doctor to rule out any ear infection.  It's very obvious that he doesn't feel well but his appetite continues to thrive so I guess that's a plus.  He fell asleep while I rocked him but woke both times I tried to place him in the crib

In the last few years I have discovered the delicious fruit known as the mango.  It's sweet.  It's juicy.  It's soft.  It literally melts in your mouth.  Really.  It's just about perfect.  Why didn't I know about this wonderful food earlier?  I was seriously deprived. Mangoes were on sale last week so I picked up four...two of which that were ready to be

Today DJ and I headed to the free concert in Lawrenceville. He had a great time...so many things to look at. There was face painting, spray-painting of hair, a moon walk, and some live music. So far I love this age! He is simply entertained by watching anything and everything. We sat on our blanket and enjoyed the music while we ate our lunch. DJ danced (wiggled) while I laughed...I find it

I am currently a fan of Swag Bucks. For people like me Swag Bucks is an easy way to accumulate points that can be used towards rewards in the future. The more you search the more chances you'll have to earn Swag Bucks. It's just so easy and if you're going to search the internet anyway you might as well get something from it, right? Check it out:!

I honestly can't remember the last time I had a full night's sleep. It was sometime before my pregnancy which was over a year and a half ago. I never was that uncomfortable during pregnancy...I'm not saying it didn't have its moments but I was never miserable. However, I just never slept that well. I'm sure the many trips to the bathroom had something to do with that. I am very certain

Well it appears I haven't been so great at blogging. I can read several blogs a day but when it comes to my own I sure have slacked! Okay, I'll try to do better. Let's see...it's August 4, 2010. Where has the time gone? DJ will be 1 year old next month! It's hard to believe he was still in my belly this time last year. A few things have happened since my last blog. I went back to work in

Okay so obviously I'm not writing every day but I'm really going to try and keep this up as much as possible. Sadly, not a lot of interesting things have happened. Last night was a first however. DJ slept in his crib all night for the first time! Well, he didn't sleep all night but he spent all night in his room verses with us. He finally went to sleep around 11:00 and then woke back up

There's nothing like the weekends! Even during my maternity leave I welcome a Saturday. It's still a break for me because David is home to help with DJ. I woke up today pretty tired since we had gotten home late the night before. I left David James with David and my mom and I went to a "Sip and Shop" party at Sugarloaf Country Club. There were so many cute things to look at and we ended up

Today was David's birthday so we decided to go out for the evening with some friends to see a concert of one of our favorite bands. Omie watched DJ from 7:45 until 1:45. This was the longest that I had gone away from him and I must admit that I missed him a lot. I definitely had a great time being out with adults but I was ready to hold my baby. I was shocked when I my mom said that he had

Today was my 6 week postpartum check up with Dr. Whitmore. Everything is great and she gave me the go ahead to resume normal activity. Crunches here I come! Sure... My mom and I went to this Vietnamese restaurant for lunch. They have the best soup. It is chicken broth based but very light. It comes with a ton of rice noodles and then sprouts, basil and jalepenos on the side. DJ decided

Well we survived our first night on our own without David. It definitely is more convenient when you have someone else home with you to help out. I certainly have a new appreciation for those single mothers out there! We ran a few errands and hit up Walmart and Babies R Us. I am really trying to de-clutter our home as much as possible these days. We're running out of extra space fast but

Well yesterday was a typical day for us. DJ took his morning nap and then decided to stay awake for most of the early afternoon. He did nap long enough for me to scarf down a quick lunch, however. Except for a bath, there wasn't a whole lot of other activity at home. I put DJ in the BabyBjorn and took some pictures of the beautiful trees that we have in our front yard. One of the

Okay. I'm starting a blog for the first time and wish I had actually begun earlier. The main purpose is to write about DJ and all of the changes and adventures that we experience but I'm sure I'll add some other stories as well. So let's see DJ is six weeks old today and I can hardly believe that the time has gone by so fast. I would have thought that with staying home the time would creep on
