The way his little feet are ALWAYS doing something. If he's in the high chair, his feet are up under the tray; if he's drinking his bottle, his feet are in the air and he wants me to hold them; if he's in his bath chair, his feet are pattering in the water on the… Continue reading The little things.

When motherhood changed my church life.
"I never missed one service with any of my kids. I was right back in the church pew after I gave birth," one older lady from our church proudly told me shortly after I became a mother. What she didn't say, but absolutely meant, is that having a child is no excuse to miss church… Continue reading When motherhood changed my church life.
“Nonononono…”
Isn't it funny how sometimes we keep doing something over and over again, even though we know we shouldn't? Spencer is being introduced to this concept right now. He repeatedly touches things he isn't supposed to and before he even starts, is already saying "nononono." But... he just can't resist. He also is repeatedly throwing… Continue reading “Nonononono…”
Constant motion.
Spenny has been officially walking for 3 weeks now, and is constantly on the go. He runs circles around our apartment, dragging his toys, laundry, and anything else he can get his mitts on. He's a busy boy. But he hits his breaking point after a few hours, and usually throws himself onto the floor… Continue reading Constant motion.

A typical morning.
I'm going to miss these days when Spencer is older! I love our mornings together. When I hear him wake up, I go in his room and he's usually standing in his crib holding the railing. Some days he will be smiling and pointing at me, and some days he is just crying. I carry… Continue reading A typical morning.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
I feel like tonight is as good a night as any for a husband/father appreciation post. Moms get a lot of credit (well-deserved, of course!) but I believe good dads should as well. (Not just on Father's Day). My baby's dad... he's pretty great. To see how much he loves his boy, and how much… Continue reading Teamwork makes the dream work.
14 Months.
I often look at Spencer and wonder how he changed so fast. He seems to grow up faster every day, yet at the same time it feels like this is how he's always been and always will be. I remember when he was a newborn and I thought, "I'm going to miss this so much."… Continue reading 14 Months.
Magic House!
One of our Christmas gifts from Jordan's parents was a family membership to the Magic House in St. Louis, and we were so excited to go together. We got up early yesterday, picked up donuts, and headed out. Spencer must have known we were going somewhere fun, because he chattered happily in the backseat for… Continue reading Magic House!
Keeping it in perspective.
Last night, my son went to bed around 10:00. I readied myself for another night of little to no sleep. I don't know if I should blame some new teeth, or his separation anxiety, or what, but something has stolen sleep from my baby (and thus, from me) every night for the past week. Either… Continue reading Keeping it in perspective.
