Cry Babies

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 →

A 7-Legged Dog

Posted on February 15, 2012 by Drew

Adria and I went down to the local park with her bag of chalk, and she started drawing.  She drew this pink jellyfish thing on the sidewalk, which I find quite pleasing to the eyes, actually: When I asked her … Continue reading →

Jumpity, Jumpity

Posted on February 15, 2012 by planetva

This past weekend I noticed that Austin was really starting to get a good rhythm going when bouncing in his jumper. This is, I’m assuming, one of the intended purposes of the device…but Adria never really figured it out. Austin … Continue reading →

Co-sleeping

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Drew

We’re now putting Austin down for bed in Adria’s room.  The routine is starting to shape up.  We begin the bedtime ritual around 7:30pm, but we intentionally get Austin a little bit ahead…plus, he’s quicker to get ready anyhow because … Continue reading →

Antibiotics All Around

Posted on February 3, 2012 by Drew

Boy, this cold hit us hard.  Adria had her stomach thing, and a little sampling of the cold, but she has been well for a week.  Amanda, Austin, and I have lingered on.  It seems that Amanda is finally getting … Continue reading →
