Melissa is out of town and Emma finally went to sleep. A looooong day indeed! Am I the only spouse who absolutely hates when the other spouse goes out of town for work??Emma likes to say, “Ready….go!” Nonnie taught her this and it is very cute!She also likes to pick up her play telephone and say, “Hello” and when I repeat it she then says, “Bye” and hangs up.

Emma likes to pose like a Ballerina now. She stands …Read more [.....]

After interviewing six candidates, she hired someone she thought she could trust – a nanny who is a mother herself, had a background in child care and had a “glowing recommendation” …Read more [.....]

I Can Open Doors! Having fun with Nonnie!

By candlken on Thursday, February 21st, 2008 | No Comments

The little cutie pie can open doors now. The baby monitor no longer warns me that she is stirring as she sometimes gets up in stealth mode. I barely hear anything until I hear her at the top of the stairs–Thank goodness for the gates– yelling “Daddy.”Yesterday morning I woke up and opened my eyes to see her bedroom door opening up. I pretended to still be sleeping when she looked at me, yelled “Dada” and ran to my bedside to wake me up. So cute!!!She likes to show off her new ability to open doors. She will close it so she can re-open it. So proud she is. I am buying a hook latch for our basement …Read more [.....]

The First Day

By candlken on Sunday, February 17th, 2008 | No Comments

The first day alone with Emma was one that I will not forget. Up until that time she was doing just fine with Momma being home. She took her naps every 2-3 hours and pretty much just ate and slept. She was a happy baby and would always be smiling and laughing. I think that I was lulled into a false sense of comfort during this time.Little did I know that the Mommy-Daughter bond would be so strong…I think it had lots to do with the fact that she was breastfeeding. Not only was this for her nutritional needs but it was just as important for her emotional needs. Daddy just isn’t equipped for this.I …Read more [.....]
