A young man and woman walked into a pet store about fifteen and a half years ago. They were set to get married in a few months and the last thing they needed was an additional responsibility to add to their other "responsibility", Nieve the cat. Nonetheless, they walked into a pet store to buy…
Eleven months. My sweet boy is already 11 months! His personality is becoming more evident: sweet, funny, insistent, determined, and losing a bit of cuddliness (but still cuddly when I time it right). We find him chuckling to himself often and I can get a smile with just a small tilt of my head. He's…
I think looking back, the 9th-10th month time period will be one we will reflect had many, many changes. Your snake slide turned into a full on crawl. You move lightening fast, especially when you know we don't want you to crawl into a certain area. You pull yourself up so you stand on your…
Ah dearest Finn. Mom has discovered that the days and months go by quickly. It's hard to embrace each moment when they move so fast! But every second we get with you fills my heart so much. And even as you grow so quickly and change every day, I still remember the day you were…
My dearest Finley James turned 8 months old. 8 months! With each passing month, we get a little bit further from the day of his birth when he burst into our lives. I grieve the days where I could hold him with one hand and he was just so new to the world. On the…
Finn is now a full seven months. Ah sweet boy, you keep growing and growing... Finn now has two bottom teeth and four teeth on the top growing in...plus molars... He's still not sleeping through the night, but I've accepted it as the normal... He loves making noises - grunts, groans, Velociraptor cries, loud exclamations-…
Finn is now six months. Six months! In the beginning, I thought by six months I'd be an exceptional parent and pretty much know everything there is to know. Now I know the truth- not a chance. I may never know. We had our first Christmas together. It was a strange one with ice, illnesses,…
Finn is now five months old. He's a happy and often mellow little baby boy. He doesn't sleep a lot but uses energy to roll from his back to his front and vice versa. Finn has celebrated his first Thanksgiving at Grandma Ann's house. His favorite toys are his fingers, his Sophie teether, and his…
I'm grateful for the gift of November. It seems strange to write as it's a month I dread due to the dark days - but I'm grateful for the gift I have given myself for the last five plus years- the gift of daily gratitude during the month. It sets me up for the next year…
Today I'm grateful for pets. This morning as I drove to drop Finn off, I saw a woman walking with her dog slung across her shoulder. I'm hoping nothing was wrong with the dog and he was just tired of walking. She was a dutiful pet owner and he was restful, trusting her to take…
