Yes, it’s true! Cooper’s first tooth has popped through his gums (or “yums” as Silas calls them). We’ve had several conversations with Silas about Cooper’s lack of teeth. Silas is quick to remind us that, “Cooper has yums.” This afternoon I was feeding Baby his fruits and veggies as he fussed in his high chair.… Read More First Tooth
This month I celebrated my first Mother’s Day with two boys. Cooper is putting everything in his mouth these days, and Silas is happy to help him. Silas is in love with forts (or garages, houses or tents as he calls them).Spiderman is also his current favorite superhero. There’s nothing quite like a baby’s laugh.… Read More The Merry, Merry Month of May
Happy half birthday to Cooper! Our little man turned six months old yesterday. He’s such a tall baby and very strong too. Man, he’s got a grip! His little fingers curl so tightly around my hair, my neck, my shirt. Once he has Mommy, he does everything he can to make sure he doesn’t let… Read More Cooper 0.5
Cooper Andrew is 5 months old today! I thought it would be fun to compare Cooper’s 5 month pics to Silas’s. Coop is quite his own little man. I’m thinking that Cooper will be as strong as Silas is speedy. Baby Dude can now roll from back to belly, and he can sit on his… Read More Side By Side

Earlier this week I snapped this pictures of a spontaneous storytime with Daddy after work. Stephen does all the character voices when reading Huge Harold. Bill Peet books are some of Stephen’s favorites for the boys. On Tuesday I took the boys to storytime at the library. Silas wore his baseball uniform (which he calls… Read More Storytime
We just can’t get over how happy Cooper gets when we look at him. As Stephen said last night, “It makes you feel bad for looking away.” I do remember talking about that “million-dollar feeling” I had when Silas smiled as a baby, but I had completely forgotten what it felt like. My heart is… Read More Smiles That Steal Our Hearts
Life. It’s been happening. We fill our days with ordinary moments that glue our family together. So what’s been happening here on Winslow Avenue? Let me catch you up. Last week we attended our first spring training game with our friends Ray, Lisa and Alec. The Goodyear Ballpark is just down the road from our house, and… Read More Catching Up
Tonight Cooper finally rolled over on camera. Go, Coop, go!
Our first visit to the 21st Century Parent Education event was so much fun that we decided to go back for February’s session. These monthly events help parents assess and nurture the development of their children. January’s theme was literacy and reading, and February’s activities were all about the five senses. {Click here to view… Read More Learning Through Playing
