Eating Where the Grownups Eat
At 19 months old, Bug has decided that he is d.o.n.e. with his highchair. We went through 3 or 4 days of screaming fits and armadillo-ing (the act of a child curling up into a ball whenever you try to get them to do something… such as put them in their highchair) each and every [...]
The Anniversary
No, not my blog’s anniversary. My actual anniversary. Or rather, our actual wedding anniversary… 5 years to be exact. I feel like 5 years is kind of a big deal. We’re definitely not newlyweds anymore, but we still have so much ahead of us. I’m not very good at all the mushy stuff, so I’m [...]

Ditching the Bottle
Ugh, I know. I haven’t posted in, like, YEARS. Ok, it’s been 2 weeks, but still. I’m sorry, OK? Accept this adorable photo taken by the wonderful Peter Acker as my formal apology. Onto business. At Buggy’s 15 month doctor’s appointment, his pediatrician asked if he was still taking any bottles. At that point, the [...]
