Month 15
Should I be concerned that when you see a bracelet, you instinctively put out your hand? That’s right, you LOVE jewelry. I usually take you in to my bedroom with me when I brush my teeth or change my clothes and you always beeline straight to my jewelry box where you pull out every beaded…

2010, here we go again
So I’m usually not one with the New Years resolutions.

Hats, Hats Galore
I’ve developed a habit – while out with Olivia, I put random hats on her head and shamelessly make impromptu photo shoots in the middle of stores. It typically involves me discovering some heinous or ridiculously adorable item to put on her head. With one hand, I fumble for my phone while I use the…

Shout Out
I would like to send a warm shout out to Rose who sent me the most wonderful and thoughtful card letting me know that she reads my blog and finds it helpful with her situation. It was so incredibly sweet of you and remember that it takes all kinds of mothers to make the world…

Month 12
I deliberately waited a week after you turned 12 months to write this. I know you’re probably thinking to yourself that I’m always late writing these posts and that is true but I wanted to see if you turning this monumental milestone would have any impact on your behavior – would I notice a change…
