Dear Bean, Every day is a new adventure with you, and I look forward to each one. Lately our days have been starting anywhere between 7 and 8:30, with the latter being a little more preferable in my books. I do quite like the fact that you’re willing to wake up and sit there and [...]

Happy Birthday Bean! 1 year ago you made your grand entrance into this world. It was a Thursday morning, about a week before we expected you. We had planned to spend the weekend picking up the last few things before your arrival: diapers, wipes, etc… The essentials needed when a baby arrives, but you decided [...]

Dear Bean, It’s been 2 weeks since I have gone back to work full-time and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss you during the day. But you know what makes it all worth it? Coming home to see you. When I walk in the door and you see me standing there I [...]

Dear Bean, You are a source of constant amazement in my life. Now this has been true from the time you were born, but in the last month or so you’ve been developing in tangible ways that are amazing to watch.

Dear Bean, You and I went to the park today to play on the swings. We recently discovered the park a couple of days ago when we were out for a walk and the rain caught us unaware. I was so excited that they have those little black baby swings that we can put you [...]

Dear Bean, When did you become such a picky eater? I mean, you are only 9 months old, you have no idea what is out there. There is a wide world of good eats out there that you will close yourself off to trying new things (or even remembering that you liked it last week), [...]

Please learn to sleep again

Dear Bean, I’m not sure what this sudden aversion to sleeping is all about, but anytime you are tired of it, feel free to start sleeping again. Naps seem to go okay, but when I put you down to sleep for the night you start screaming like someone is about to murder you. I promise, [...]

Lesson Unlearned

27 May 2010

Dear Bean, I know your latest trick is to roll from your back to your front, but how is it that you can’t seem to remember how to roll from your front onto your back? We learned how to do this months ago, so what happened? This would’ve been an especially handy thing to remember [...]

Sitting!

Dear Bean, You can now sit up by yourself, and it makes me so proud! Now, technically I know this is just another milestone, and you’ve been slowly starting to sit by yourself for about a week now, but today I sat you down (with pillows around you, we learned from the bump on the [...]

First Tooth!

Dear Bean It has been a long time since I last rocked you to sleep. But it is nice to know why our napping has been so rocky lately, or part of the reason anyway; you have teeth! Well one anyway, and I think the second one might be on its way also! I felt [...]
