By Linda, on April 14th, 2014% It has been a loooong two weeks. I can’t believe it’s only been that amount of time since I was on maternity leave, because it feels like a lifetime ago. My second week was better than the first. I am getting oriented to the museum, I’m actually doing some real work instead of constantly just . . . → Read More: Working parents need tulips
By Linda, on April 2nd, 2014% Well, considering I went back to work on Nora’s 5 month day, and this post is only 2 days late, I’m not falling too far behind! My reasons for getting this post up quickly are selfish, though. I want more pictures of Nora when I’m missing her all day long! So when I start to . . . → Read More: Nora month-by-month: #5

Nora is truly waking up to the world. She is a social little love, tracking faces, especially the faces of Elliott and his toddler friends, and thankfully, mommy and daddy. She always has a smile for Elliott’s best . . . → Read More: Nora month-by-month: #4
By Linda, on January 31st, 2014% We have finally hit our groove. At the beginning of the month, I was feeling pretty down. Elliott was regularly resisting naps and waking at night, interrupting our sleep but exhausted himself. He was acting out, we were frustrated, and not acting like the kind of parents we wanted to be. Nora was still requiring . . . → Read More: Nora month-by-month: #3

My beautiful baby Nora. I hope in the future, she understands how much I love her, now at this moment and all the others leading up to and beyond this time. I’ve heard it over and over, younger siblings never get as much attention as the eldest. Not as many photos, not as many videos, . . . → Read More: My baby Nora
By Linda, on November 29th, 2013% It feels like yesterday that I was writing these monthly posts for Elliott, and now I begin tracking Nora’s first year in the blink of an eye.
Our sweet little girl! Just in the last few days Nora’s care has gotten a little less rigorous. She was on a 2 hour feeding cycle, which was . . . → Read More: Nora month by month: #1
By Linda, on November 18th, 2013% The last two weeks have been a time of major adjustment. Nora is now a little over 2 weeks old, and we are starting to get a new rhythm. With Jeremy still at home, things have been pretty manageable. Two parents to two kids – we divide and conquer. I shudder to think of Jeremy . . . → Read More: Nora at 2 weeks old – adjusting to our new family
By Linda, on October 8th, 2013% Today we are full term, 37 weeks! As we approach Goldie’s birth day, I wanted to take a moment to write about her chosen name. I’m keeping this post private until after she’s born, so she hears her name for the first time before anyone else. But I’m writing it down now before I’m completely . . . → Read More: A rose by any other name…

Here it is, the final post for Elliott’s second year. These last 3 months have been big for our boy, just like all the others. He is really growing up from a baby to a kid, but thankfully I still see his baby face, the soft slight double chin, the chubby limbs, the silly movements. . . . → Read More: E-Rex at 2 years
By Linda, on August 31st, 2013% On Wednesday August 28 we celebrated our favorite dinosaur baby’s 2nd birthday.
To celebrate, we invited a small group of our friends over to the house. Happy hour for parents, sugar hour for the kids. It was so sweet to see Elliott with his friends, who have grown so much over this last year. Our . . . → Read More: Birthday Boy v2.0
