On Wednesday, we headed to Animal Kingdom and went straight for the safari ride. Spencer wasn't fully awake and was still in grumpy mode, but Jordan and I loved it. Then Jordan went to ride Expedition Everest while I walked Spencer around some of the trails. We ended up in DinoLand and spent a looong… Continue reading First Vacation! Day 3: Animal Kingdom.
First Vacation! Day 2: Magic Kingdom.
We woke up early on Tuesday to get to Magic Kingdom before they opened the rides. Spencer was having allergy issues and was a little grouchy but also couldn't wait to run around and see everything. As soon as the rides opened, Jordan went to Space Mountain while I took Spencer on Buzz Lightyear. He… Continue reading First Vacation! Day 2: Magic Kingdom.
First vacation! Day 1.
We just returned from our first family vacation. It was an awesome time from start to finish. Monday morning, we woke up very early and flew to Orlando. It was my first flight as well as Spencer's - I thought I'd be the one comforting him on the plane, but it was 100% the other… Continue reading First vacation! Day 1.
“Lots of Toys”
This morning we slept in. Spencer woke up crying around midnight last night and I ended up just falling asleep on his bed with him... usually we get up by 7 every day, but today we slept until close to 9 and it was fantastic. Jordan saw on the news that Toys R Us might… Continue reading “Lots of Toys”
Trading worry for worship.
Right around this time 3 years ago, I took a pregnancy test in our downstairs bathroom. I was home alone when I saw the two lines on the stick. Immediately, I felt this overwhelming sense of unconditional love and intense pressure to protect. I knew my baby was just a speck at that point, but… Continue reading Trading worry for worship.
Distracted.
It's been awhile since I posted anything. Keeping up with a blog was much easier when my son was barely toddling and I only worked 3 days a week. 🙃 I need to get something off my chest, though. It doesn't even have to do with parenting or with Spencer. It has to do with… Continue reading Distracted.
Please stay two-years-old.
It's been awhile since I cried. Honestly, I can't even think of the last time I did. But tonight, as I lay on my little son's new twin bed, holding his hands while he drifted off to sleep... the tears came. I never thought this day would come. When he would move out of our… Continue reading Please stay two-years-old.
23 months.
Almost two! Right now he's into throwing his toys up in the air and yelling "dunk it high!" He runs back and forth as fast as he can and yells "hockey player! Skates! Skate fast!" and I love the way he giggles while he's doing that. He's really good at pronouncing his words, but for… Continue reading 23 months.
Sick day.
This morning I woke up with a horrible sore throat and congestion. While I was getting ready for work, Spencer threw up on the floor. I took that as a sign that we should both stay home today. It was like old times again... chilling out watching Netflix with my little buddy napping on me. … Continue reading Sick day.
“Let’s go, babe!”
My changing boy… as his second birthday is quickly approaching (2 months away!), Spencer is developing so fast I can barely keep up. Professional speaker. One major development has been using sentences and phrases when he’s talking instead of just saying one or two words. He’s gotten so good at expressing his feelings and telling… Continue reading “Let’s go, babe!”
