Summer is wearing on me. It’s simply too hot. It’s next to impossible to enjoy being outside anytime after 10am. If we have to run errands I am a sweaty mess by the time we get in the car, out of the car, grocery shop, in the car, out of the car…you probably get the … [Read more…]
Last night we went with friends to see some live music at the Amarillo Botanical Gardens. It is beautiful here despite the drought and ridiculously hot temps we’ve had this summer. Look at that green grass! Carson enjoyed playing with it. This type of grass was new to him, since most of our grass at … [Read more…]
Our little man is changing all the time! It’s hard to believe it’s been 8 months already. I’ll probably be saying that phrase forever, just inserting whatever age he is at the time. Carson loves his best buddy Ginger! That love isn’t captured very well here… Here are some of Carson’s latest developments. At 8 … [Read more…]
Really? 7 months? It’s true. I cannot believe it. I have a feeling that I’ll blink and he’ll be running around outside getting into all kinds of dirty, germy things. Then I’ll blink again and he’ll be graduating high school. Yikes. This boy loves to eat, even though he isn’t great at it yet. He … [Read more…]
My baby food maker is wonderful. It’s the Babycook from Beaba. Could the same results be achieved with a steaming basket and food processor? Of course. But this is so small, convenient and cute. Did I just call an appliance cute? So far I’ve made sweet potatoes, green beans, pears and peas for Carson, and … [Read more…]
Carson had his 6 month check up yesterday morning. He weighs 16 pounds and is 28 inches long, 22nd and 92nd percentile respectively. He had to get 3 shots. Not fun. But after a long nap he and I had a great day getting lunch with some friends and then spent some time in the … [Read more…]
Last mother’s day Ben took me out to eat and had roses waiting at the restaurant. He’d gone out earlier in the day and dropped them off. How did I snag such a wonderful man? We both knew I was pregnant with baby Z then, but I wasn’t very far along in the pregnancy so … [Read more…]
As of today, Carson is actually 5 months and 5 days old…mom is just a little late on getting this post up. Our little guy is changing every day. He is eating rice cereal for dinner now followed by a bath since no one is left clean after a meal with this kiddo. I made … [Read more…]
Kate and Ellie flew in to Amarillo this weekend. It has been so nice to have them here! We’ve really enjoyed our time with them and will be sad to see them go. I love where we live, but I don’t love that we don’t get to see our families more often. I think this … [Read more…]
We haven’t quite mastered this, but we get better every time we try it!
