If you’ve ever been to a children’s department or store you’ve probably noticed this, but the little girl’s section is always bigger. Even in stores where one side is devoted to little girls and one side is devoted to little boys the selection isn’t equal. You’ll find that the seemingly equal division is an optical [...]
Yesterday we were at a children’s clothing store where the clerks were gushing over Cooper and how cute he is. (I find it necessary to note that they don’t get paid on commission.) One of the girls even said, “I see a lot of babies, so when I tell you that you have a cute [...]
Even though Cooper was born a month early and his medical records have him down as a “preemie,” he’s never been one to me. He wasn’t premature; he came when he was ready and there wasn’t a thing wrong with him. He was small though. None of his clothes fit. A [...]
We generally keep this blog light and about fairly non-important things since a) I’m not always good at being serious and b) I’m attempting to be witty, but I’ve had something on my mind for awhile.
I wasn’t one of those girls that wanted to get married and be a mom since the age of [...]
Occasionally we like to check our site stats just to see if anybody actually reads our blog. We discovered something.
That large spike was when I posted “Baby Pictures.” Okay, we get it. You just want to see the baby.
Note: This post was technically written by Audrey, but Noel came up with [...]
I got cleared to exercise last week, but this morning was the first day that I hit the pavement. I know some people just don’t get it, but I LOVE running. It makes me feel good and keeps me sane. Giving up running halfway through my pregnancy was hard (admittedly continuing would have been harder [...]
We blessed Cooper almost two weeks ago, but I kept forgetting to get pictures from my mom until now. He was the perfect baby, he didn’t even grunt (our child is generally quite vocal). Thankfully Noel’s parents were able to attend as well as most of our families and some good friends. It [...]
I am an avid consumer of dairy. I love it: Cheese, milk, ice cream, yogurt, butter, you name it. Essentially, dairy makes food taste good. Lately though I’m wondering if my love of dairy has become a problem. I have a baby that is constantly gassy (sometimes it makes him cry).
Noel and I have [...]
Yesterday was my due date. My child is almost a month old. So glad I’m not still pregnant.
Cooper thinks being wide awake at 3am is the best. He doesn’t cry, but just acts ready to play. If I weren’t so tired, it might be cute.
As was previously mentioned, Noel and I have both been training for large events. Now that both are complete, here’s the report:
Noel – Ogden Marathon Despite some hitches in his training (see below) Noel completed his 3rd marathon He didn’t beat my time, but now he has run one more marathon than me [...]
