Okay, so his hair was totally cute. But his bangs were getting in his eyes and the curls by his ears were starting to look like wings and the baby-mullet was making him itch. So we decided it was time for his first haircut.
We took him to Fast Freddie’s, home of the $8 cut. That’s [...]

We want the kids to be able to sleep in the same room while traveling. So, for practice we decided to move Violet’s mattress into Graham’s room, right next to his crib. Violet was extremely excited. Graham seemed to be also. They piled on Rob’s lap in the rocking chair to read books.
I tried live-blogging [...]

Three words for anyone with a preschool aged daughter and toddler son: “Max and Ruby”. This is a cartoon based on the books by Rosemary Wells (who is awesome).
Ruby is a 7-year-old bunny who takes care of her little brother Max. We’re not sure how old he is, but he only says one word per [...]

Because if you are, could you pick up a package of size 4 Pampers with me and Graham on it?
Yes, 10 months after the last photo shoot, Proctor & Gamble finally made their decision. According to the photographer, it’s the picture of Graham stacking a block on my head. I wonder if I’ll ever get [...]

Yes, Graham is 2 years old… which I find odd since I’m pretty sure he was born about 30 seconds ago.
I keep waiting for his “difficult stage” to start. But so far he is all about being amiable and affectionate. Granted, he’ll automatically answer any yes/no question with a “NO”. And every task is “I [...]

Yes, it’s about that time. Graham will be 2 soon so clearly he needs his own shiny new twitter account. I swear we’re not just trying to be trendy. It really is a great way to have a record of what they say, because, let’s face it, I can’t remember what I ate for breakfast [...]

There is no way to describe how awesome this kid is. But I’d better try because the Terrible Twos and Theatrical Threes are fast approaching. I know he can’t possibly be this easy-going, happy, sweet and affectionate forever. For now I’m enjoying him waking up laughing, cheering at every request, entertaining himself, randomly bestowing kisses [...]

Our anniversary was earlier this month. It just so happened to be the wedding weekend of my best friend from college, in the same town we where Rob and I met and had our own wedding.
So we left the kids and flew across the country. This was our first trip alone since Violet was born. [...]

(Today’s post is brought to you by my amazing husband and mother-in-law who have taken the kids out to let me get some things done.)
We’ve been trying to teach Graham sign language, really we have. But it’s a much more difficult task when your hands are busy doing something for the first born child. So [...]
