Where the Time Goes (hint: it’s the naps).

Fourteen Months.

Posted on January 26, 2012 by ashley

Posted on October 30, 2011 by ashley

M&M is now eleven months old. And her parents are eleven months exhausted. Give or take. I’m now looking back fondly on the first five months of co-sleeping, but it clearly did not suit M as well as it did … Continue reading →

My nine month old is blossoming by the day. Whereas from about four months to eight, she mostly stayed in a similar [sedentary] groove, I am forced now to look ahead to the ever-nearing end of babyhood. My nine month … Continue reading →

A nice day.

Posted on June 27, 2011 by ashley

Sometimes a nice day is just exactly what one needs. Not a fantastic day, or even a great one; these often are sandwiched by build-ups and let-downs (or in the mom’s case clean-up). Too much grandiose calls for exhaustion. And … Continue reading →

Six months (twenty-six weeks, 183 days, half a year).

Posted on May 28, 2011 by ashley

M&M is now days away from the six month mark. I’ve actually been referring to her as “six months” for weeks now; I think to lessen the shock. Now that I’m used to the idea I can be excited for … Continue reading →
