Respected. Knowledgable. Partner.
We recently took our first overnight trip with the boys. We had zero expectations. Neither of us expected it to be a pleasant experience, but we were going to do it anyway. Or at least try it. Our backup plan was to leave at 9 pm and drive two hours home. Luckily it didn’t come … Continue reading Tips on traveling with a toddler and baby
It’s easy to see that every baby and child are different. That I expected. What I didn’t expect was my mental or emotional reaction to be different. I think I handled the transition from zero babies to one. It was a little difficult in the summer knowing that my friends were out doing fun things while I … Continue reading The ups and downs
I haven’t been able to figure out why I’m struggling to find enough hours in the day to get everything done. Then I wrote that post about Quinten not sleeping very well. It was like my own words slapped me in the face. I’m exhausted! Somehow it’s kind of hidden. Yes, I literally yawn all … Continue reading What makes him sleep through the night?
{It’s taken me a month to publish this. At least I still have a few days before he turns eight months old.} This chunky guy makes me smile. He’ll make you smile too if you look at his face.

Dude knows what he wants and it’s milk. Or food. Really, just anything will work. We’re … Continue reading Quinten Eats
One is pretending and one is actually sleeping.

He can easily be entertained by his hands, feet, blankets, and anything else he can get into his mouth. He is very active and moves from the start … Continue reading Quinten: Six Months
I need to document teeth before I move on to my six month old baby. Six months. Saturday, June 1 Quinten got his first tooth! His bottom left front tooth came in pretty quickly. Ironically the top two teeth had been kind of swollen and I was wondering if they were going to poke through. That … Continue reading Baby teeth!
What more can I say? This baby is a happy guy. He’s such a ray of sunshine in our house. Don’t get me wrong, Maximus is fun and giggles too. There’s just something about Quinten, maybe it’s that he can’t whine. In all seriousness, there aren’t too many times that you can look at him … Continue reading My happiness is them
