For anyone who might me wondering, I'm feeling quite a bit better than the last time I posted. I've had a few "baby" breaks and it’s done me good. I'm still a little down but not nearly as much as before and that’s really only because I have still yet to get some things I really want to done.

So, Gabriel had his 9 month check up today...boy was that an experience! He absolutely HATES being laid on the exam table naked and same goes for the baby scale. He cried the whole time! By the time w...

I have been going through a bout of the mommy blues as of late. Family knows that I’ve had it a few times since Gabriel’s birth but it usually quickly diminishes. This most recent round seems rather difficult and I’m really struggling to move past it. I suppose it’s a lot to do with the baby getting older and more independent and at the same time more needy as well. His naps are few and far between and only minutes when they do come. I’m hoping to get a little advice on his sleeping...

Yayyyyy! I'm so excited to say that Gabriel is finally free and clear and discharged from his physical therapy! Yesterday was his last session with Mrs. Nanette and though we'll miss her we know that not seeing her means our baby is normal and healthy.
I guess only family reading this would know what I'm talking about so I suppose I could explain.
Our Gabriel was born with Congenital Torticollis (shortened or tightened neck and back muscles) which went undiagnosed by his regular pediatrician un...

The boys (finally) started back to school today...Halleluyah! Not that I don't adore spending the summer with them but after 3 months together I think they need more of a break from each other. As the arguements and wrestling matches increased in frequency as the summer drew closer to its end I could tell it (school) was a much needed reprive from each other's company. Hee hee.
I'll be happy to finally get a moments quiet...well when the baby is napping that is.

*giggles* When I snapped these photos of Gabriel the first thing that popped into my head was the tune "Feed Me Seymour" from the movie Little Shop of Horrors where the giant Venus Fly Trap was singing.
We found a new favorite food. Vanilla custard with bananas. I think its sweetness must have been the culprit. LOL.

Update on sleeping arrangements: Halleluyah! He is finally used to the crib! He only wakes a couple times a night now and I can lull him back to sleep by sticking his passie in and...

An update on Gabriel's sleeping situation:
This post is mostly for my family who have been listening to me complain all week.

So you know since our return from vacation we have been trying to wean him into his crib. Before vaca he was still in our room/ bassinet (even though he had quite grown out of it). He learned how to roll over to his belly and hold his head up WAY high so we knew it was time to finally put him in his big baby bed (much to my mommy dismay). All the while out of town he sl...
