Probably close to a year ago we bought a toddler bed from woot.com. About 6 months ago, we assembled it. In the intervening time we’ve sporadically put Arwen in the bed, more as a test or a game than an actual attempt at trying to get her to sleep in the bed. Well, tonight after[…]
A new week has dawned and with it the changes and discoveries that make up our lives. Our house, Le Maison Burger, is no different and the tides of change have come as well. This week spyMommy makes her return to work. The thought of it has been a source of trepidation. For months now[…]
If this blog is good for anything, its good for a mood-booster. You can’t help but smile at the pictures. And its worth smiling about the fact that it just exists. Why more parents are doing it these days, I’ll never know. I think it’s been mentioned here already, but Arwen has been saying, “Dora”,[…]
This afternoon brought some warmer, if not wetter, conditions so Arwen and I headed out to breathe some non-house air at the prompting of spyMommy. Despite the rain and the 50 degree weather there were still patches of ice here and there that Arwen almost instinctually avoided. I wanted to test out the little tether backpack we[…]
There have been a lot of changes at home with the arrival of Rowan. Half of the time it feels like we have everything under control and the other half of the time it feels like we are flying by the seat of our pants. It’s to be expected I suppose. Arwen is growing in[…]
Arwen has become a little chatterbox. She of course hold entire conversations about a picture in her own language, but she is coming to grasps with English as well. There is of course octopus, now there is apple. She has sound effets for dog and cat (a bark and a meow) and now sings along,[…]
Well this has been one of those eventful mornings that makes you glad for instant access to the world and the means to record events if you’re only fast enough. First Arwen starts by building on her newfound stacking skills, then I accidentally knocked over a bowl with some of her snacks in it. Arwen[…]
SpyMommy is at the doctor for a check up so I am home with the kids. Arwen is getting into whatever she can, and finding new boundaries to push while she’s at it. Rowan just woke up so he got a bottle and a diaper and is now chilling with me on the couch. Things[…]
Things are settling down at La Maison Burger, and by settling down I of course mean to say that we are keeping ass busy as ever. I fear we haven’t been as diligent as we should be when it comes to pictures but we’ve got some gems here. Yesterday Rowan’s card fell of and he[…]
First nights at home with babies are nortoriously sleepless. Rowan’s was no different, though in my opinion it could’ve been a lot worse. He slept in little spurts and I think most of his waking was due to him wanting to be held. Once up there was little else to do but feed and change[…]
