Our Favorite Books
One of my favorite activities with my little guy is to share a book. He will wander over carrying a book, hold it up to me and say, “daa, daa,” which is his way of saying “please read this with me.” Here is a list of Ivan’s favorite books:Freight Train, by Donald CrewsThere isn’t a real story with a plot, cute…See More

Baby Promises
I lay in bed fighting for a few extra moments of sleep. I had been up at 1.00 AM to feed our baby and again at 4.00 AM when his cries convinced my husband to say "just put him in bed with us, I have to be up in an hour anyway." I looked at Ivan, all swaddled, laying sideways—feet in my face, sleeping serenely and I made a silent promise to him. I silently told him that I would always love him.
Since Ivan was born almost six-months ago, I’ve made numerous promises to him. Some of them… Continue

Yeah this is pretty cool! Is it linked to Facebook? How old is your little one? My princess, Gabrielle, turned 7 months today. She is into everything...we think she is going to walk really early. Well I guess trying to keep up with her 17, 15 & 11 year old siblings will do that to a kid : )
