We survived a road trip to Northern California. Kind of. We learned that my 5 year old now gets car sick when she is watching a movie in the van. {Car sick to the point of throwing up. Twice. Yuck.} And doing anything for 10 hours straight with a teething baby can become torture. But we survived. We made it! We are living by the beach and loving it. We are now settled nicely in Northern California a five minute walk from the beach. A down hill walk which is easy, the uphill walk takes … [Read more...]

RSV Protection For Babies
Have you heard about RSV? This is my second post about RSV. I wanted to share some personal tips on how we keep our family as healthy as possible during this time of year. We have two children under the age of 6 and they have a large exposure to contagious germs and viruses. My kids love close personal contact with others and my 5 year old washes her hands but still could use help. Those two behaviors combined with our travel lifestyle creates an environment for infection spreading. Because … [Read more...]
Baby Update: 7 Months Old!
It has been too long since I posted a baby update. My Little Man is now 7 months old. I cannot believe how fast time is flying by. It is so crazy. I love this age, don't you? My Little Man is now using so many letter sounds, trying so hard to "talk". I swear there are times when he is saying 'Daddy' and 'Bella'. It is so cute. My parents and grandfather all think that he really is talking. Grandparents are fun like that, aren't they? This month he is mastering grabbing his food, even the … [Read more...]
Life in Indiana
We are enjoying life in Indiana this fall. Our Little Man just turned 5 months old and he has adjusted very nicely to the time zone difference. I am putting him to bed every night by 8pm and he is such a good little sleeper. {Thank the Lord.} He is in love with his hands and feet. He is always grabbing his feet trying in vain to get them in his mouth. Plus, he can watch his hands for long periods of time. He passes his teething rings from one hand to another over and over. It is so … [Read more...]
The Baby is Grabbing Toys!
My Little Man loves grabbing toys. His hanging toys on his activity mat, the hanging toys on his car seat and the hanging toys on his bouncer are all up for grabs. It amazes me how fast time is going by! … [Read more...]
My Baby Is 3 Months Old!
Nathanael is 3 months old this month. It is amazing how fast time goes by. 3 months old is such a fun stage. This is when babies begin to laugh, hold their head up better, and grab things. We have been doing tummy time in the mornings when he is happy. He has rolled over a couple times. This is also the month that the drool begins to go into overdrive. I have purchased extra bibs so that his shirts don't get soaked through. I have also purchased teething toys that you can chill in … [Read more...]
