Almost 6 months old! Cliché Cliché: OMG it is going so fast! So fast, and yet maddeningly slow – the longest nights and days ever. Despite her continued and frustrating beyond belief sleep aversion OG is still the happiest, silliest, bounciest, most energetic little muffin. She loves any and all food. She gets so excited when… Continue reading half a year in

Beeb has started the adventure of “solid” foods aka mushy mush mush, which has been a fun experience for her at both ends: So far the clear winner is sweet potatoes and the loser is squash. Also her clothes. OG had her first little sickness, a gross cold that I got from Gates and then passed on… Continue reading Life in Baba Land

Back at work for a month now and we’ve got our routine pretty much down to a science. Can’t believe she is four months old! She’s checking her milestones off the list in an orderly fashion, as one would expect from the offspring of 2 type A nerds. Loves playing with toys, shaking rattles, holds… Continue reading business as usual

Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, dudes! Back at work and crushing it. Literally am so thankful for how amazing my new schedule is. I know it sounds terrible to say but I really wasn’t appreciating time home with squid until I was spending time away from her on a consistent basis. She’s totally getting the best version of… Continue reading Back on Dry Land

A little bit about breastfeeding: It is the absolute best. Once OG got her P’s and Q’s together and figured out how to eat, we’ve been crushing it. I love that I don’t have to bring bottles everywhere, I love that she eats quickly (albeit noisily like a pig snarfling around in slop), I love… Continue reading Nearly Finished Cruising

She’s 8 weeks old! 4 more weeks until I head back to work and I could not be more thrilled. My brain is an absolute puddle of mush and I am craving consistent grown up interaction in the worst way. It’s definitely going to be hard to be away from my little crab but we… Continue reading the absolute worst & some of the best

6 weeks! WHAT, how did that happen. I still feel like I have no idea what I am doing, so this is slightly alarming that I am halfway through the time allotted by the great United States to get my shit together and get this kid reading, writing, and being judgmental and ignorant on their… Continue reading mid-cruise

Time is flying, and we are getting the hang of things. We vowed that we were not going to be the type of parents who were afraid to do things/get out and about with their little ones, no matter how young, because 1) We ourselves are young, and we are awesome, and we love doing… Continue reading creature of the night

Into week 2, and the squid lives. We must be doing something right. Gates went back to work after a week and a half off, despite my inconsolable crocodile tears and irrational fears about doing this whole child rearing on my own. However, I found out very quickly that this stage of the game in parenthood… Continue reading tiny human is alive

WOW. Guys… WOW. This has been the most insanely awesome week of my life. I don’t even know where to begin, so we will just start with a picture of the coolest little thing to ever fall out of my body: Seriously HOW. Last week Wednesday we left our house for the last time as… Continue reading the cruise
