Posted on February 21, 2012 by Drew

I have mentioned before that Austin is very much fixated on his big sister Adria.  He watches her every move, and laughs at each boisterous little thing that she does.  I learned something new yesterday, though…he also cries when she … Continue reading →

Tonight is the second night in a row that Austin flipped over onto his belly in the crib, before falling to sleep for the night.  Last night, he slept that way from 8pm until 6:30am.  So far, so good, tonight…we’ll … Continue reading →

Not Allergic to Grass

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Drew

Two weeks ago when I had Austin home from school (ostensibly sick…), we decided to go for a walk down to the park.  I put down a blanket and let him enjoy the fresh air for a while.  He liked staring … Continue reading →

Here’s Looking At You, Looking At Me

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Drew

Adria had “her” camera out the other day, and I had mine out too (taking pictures of her in her Christmas dress and the bump near her eye).  We had a fun moment where we snapped pictures of each other, … Continue reading →

Gentle Exploration

Posted on February 7, 2012 by Drew

I had Austin in his jumper the other day, and I was sitting on the sofa watching him play. I noticed that he had the little butterfly (who we have affectionately named “Limpy”) by the cord and was tapping him … Continue reading →
