I’ve been so busy lately I haven’t had much opportunity to write about Silje. Well, my sweet little girl will be 1 years old next month! Yes, it’s hard to believe time has went by so fast. She’s been reaching so many milestones lately! At the end of 9 months she started walking. At 10 months she practiced a lot & just tried to stay upward while in motion, and now at 11 months she’s…
I know you all do it at some point, you look at your baby and you say “where has the time gone?” They grow up too fast! I remember when I had my oldest son, just 4 short years ago. It seemed like it took forever for him to get older.. I must have taken 1000 pictures within the first couple of months. I looked at his pictures just as…
The brain development between birth and age 3 is the most significant period of development the brain will event undergo and at 3, a toddler’s brain is twice as active as an adult’s brain. The following infographic was put together by Rasmussen College and features some great stats and a breakdown of the key milestones for children between the ages of 2 months and 5 years. A big thank you to them for providing…
At least someone gets use out of the Wii fit 🙂 This is Vincent 4 months ago @11 months old. You have to watch it! It’s cute darnit.
So, I’m sure most of us have heard that potty training boys is harder than it is girls. Well I’ve decided to challenge that old wives tale (or is it?). Why should it be harder or take longer? And why should it take up until 3 yrs of age to do it? About 2 months ago (at 12 months) when changing my sons diapers I started to say “pee pee diaper. We throw it in…
I almost forgot to put this up. I always take vids and then never put them on my blog for some reason. Anyway!!! Vincent learned a new trick a few weeks ago. Pretty good for 12 months right? Oh and at the end of the vid he is upset because he immediately wants the blocks out of the box so he can do it again. He’s a bit obsessive lol.
Time has gone by so fast! On April 2nd we celebrated Vincent’s 1st birthday. Just today I got to see my neighbors new baby (he’s 3 weeks old) and it was amazing to think that at this time last year my son was just about the same size. Wow, where has the time gone? In the beginning things moved so slow and I never could have imagined that by 1 year my son would be…
Dear Vincent, For 9 long months it was just you and I. I held my belly each night wondering who was inside there, what you looked like and how I would feel when I finally got to meet you. Would I be a good mother? Would we love each other instantly? Then 1 year ago today my life changed forever. After a pain that only a mother can know you arrived into this world at…
Even though I am terribly behind on my blog due to the fact that I had to serve on a jury for almost 2 weeks and baby is cutting his 6th tooth, I decided I’d go ahead and do an update on what baby learned and became interested in during month 9. It was a really big month for him and I’d have to say in terms of learning new things it rivals month 6.…
Here comes another tooth.. and more sleepless nights. I thought that maybe Vincent was teething still but I wasn’t sure. I thought maybe his attitude was from the two bottom teeth not poking through enough but I was wrong! It seems I think too much. Yesterday while we were playing he bit me and this time it really hurt. So I moved my finger around in his mouth and
