Holiday Family Photo Sesh

There’s nothing in this world that Jon LOVES more than taking pictures. Consecutive posed pictures too (note the sarcasm). So when we (me) decided that Thanksgiving Saturday afternoon would be the perfect time to snap our first holiday family photos, Jon was elated. We chose San Francisco’s inspiration point as our backdrop and had Ansel […]

Lilla’s First Turkey Day

A year ago Thanksgiving we let the cat out of the bag about Lilla. Seems like forever ago now that she’s here with us. And though she couldn’t enjoy all of the turkey day dishes, she had a great time nonetheless. As she was the party’s biggest hit.

Lilla Found Her Phalanges

It’s official, Lilla found her hands today. It’s adorable. She’s been staring at them all day long. She’s just mesmerized. Plus she’s starting to grab things more. Which makes it easier to keep her entertained. Can’t believe she’s 4 months old already. Time has just flown by. We have a big week ahead of us […]

Back to the Grind…

Well, the time for me to join the work force again has officially arrived.  Though I was not looking forward to parting days with Lilla (our morning couch snuggle sessions, neighborhood jaunts, Chestnut window shopping excursions and mommy & daughter playtime), getting back to my work life has been good. Nice to see and work […]

“Can you do me a favor…”

This phrase has never been uttered more in our house now that Lilla has graced our lives. Seriously, Jon and I are always asking each other for favors while we’re feeding, changing or just entertaining Lilla. It’s become our new catchphrase.

3 Month Milestones – Drool, giggles and more drool

We took a little trip to the pediatrician this week and surprise, surprise, Lilla grew another inch. Yep, she’s now 25.5 inches long and weighs 12.1 lbs. She’s smiling up a storm and has even started to giggle a little bit. But the biggest milestone we’ve noticed is how much this little girl drools now. […]

Month Two – Smiling, rolling over and sleeping through the night (fingers crossed)

It’s true what they say – it just gets better and better. Lilla is in full fledged smile mode now. My favorite time of day is first thing in the morning after a feeding. She is all smiles and bright eyed and just a happy happy baby. We recently bought an activity mat to put […]
