Here come the terrible twos…
But she is only 19 months! And I know, this face, terrible? Really? Yeah, Little Miss here suddenly has a lot of opinions and she certainly does not hold back when she is unhappy about something. The other night I pulled her out of her bath before she was done because she refused to sit …
The Lost Lovey – UPDATE
Holly finally lost her beloved “lovey.” I knew it would happen. The thing is a small square of pink softness with a sweet little lamb head on one corner. It’s in the house somewhere, but we can’t find it. If it were a bigger sized blanket, it wouldn’t be so easy to lose. I can’t …
Sweetness
My sweet baby before her nap. Holly is nineteen months now. She only gets a bottle before her nap and bedtime. The rest of the time she happily uses a sippy cup or a real cup with a bit of help. I know it’s a good time to wean her from the bottle altogether, but… …
Christmas, New Year’s, Valentine’s Day Dinner
Okay, kidding about Valentine’s. My family and my friend Anne’s family have been trying to get together for dinner since the middle of December. Between illness, the holiday, more illness and a snowstorm, it has taken us until today to finally make that happen. It felt like it was going to be Valentine’s Day before …
Winter’s Walk
Still a winter wonderland in our neck of the woods; absolutely beautiful. School was canceled again. I know the weather is supposed to start warming up a bit this afternoon, but I would be surprised if everything was clear enough for school to resume tomorrow. I’m not holding my breath. In the meantime, my little …
Snow Day #2
After a breakfast of aebleskivers (my tradition for snow days), the girls and I headed out into the big, white world for a bit of fun. Unfortunately, you will see no pictures of that. It was only me and it was snowing hard and I was pulling the girls on the sled for a good part …
Snow Day
I was pretty cranky this morning when school was closed for “snow” and there wasn’t much to speak of. I just needed to be patient… I didn’t get any great pictures of Holly playing in the snow, but trust me, she was out there this morning. She had a big, ol’ tantrum when I told …
Snow!
Snow finally came to the Pacific Northwest this afternoon. As happy as we are to see it, it did interfere with our plans to head north for dinner at Anne’s (Linlee’s new cold didn’t help matters either). We’ve been trying to get together with the Davises since the middle of December and can’t seem to …
Well Checkups for the Girls
Both girls had well checkups today. For those who like stats, here they are: Linlee (age seven): height: 44.5 inches (5th percentile) weight: 37 pounds (0.92 percentile) Holly (age 18 months): height: 34 inches (95th percentile) weight: 31 pounds (98th percentile) The doctor and I chuckled over how I have a child at each end …
