a girl’s room

Our house has four bedrooms. One is the master bedroom, one is Brian’s home office, one is the guest room/my office, and the smallest room is Freya’s nursery, where she has never slept and doesn’t even contain a crib (that’s in our room). It’s basically where she gets dressed and diapered. This room used to […]

saturday breakfast

This morning Freya woke up around seven as Brian was getting out of bed to feed the pets. She cuddled into me and I tried to nurse her back to sleep but she kicked her leg up and down and kept her eyes open. We then lay in the bed like spoons, and I called […]

poo poo

Now that I’ve been a mother for a year and three months, I have gotten pretty used to the yucky side of parenthood. Luckily, Freya wasn’t much of a puker, and when she did spit up, it was just harmless breastmilk. Tonight I took her upstairs for a diaper change after dinner. Little did I […]

girly girl

Freya likes to put my green acrylic bangle on her arm and walk around admiring it. She also is fond of brushing her hair, and my hair, with her little baby hairbrush. She seems to be taking on some “feminine” traits. I can only hope this doesn’t lead into some horrible full-blown princess obsession three […]

waving

I’ve kind of let myself go over the holidays. Baking, cooking, parties, and so on, plus no real exercise to speak of. Well, at least I indulged mostly in homemade goodies, right? No HFCS! Anyhoo, time to get back into my walking every day routine. Weather permitting. The best time to do this is first […]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Amazed still that my baby is walking. A year ago I remember her being just a few weeks old, and how she actually slept in the bassinet while we ate dinner — a rare feat at the time since she was such an in-arms newborn.

30. a photo of you when you were happy This is fitting because this photo, of me holding my baby shortly after her birth, was taken one year and one day ago. Yesterday was Freya’s first birthday. We had a great day 🙂 It was also the only sunny day of this week, thanks weather. […]

bag lady

I ordered a new diaper bag for Freya last night. (click to enlarge) The one I purchased for her when I was only five months pregnant, while cute, is not as functional as I thought. it’s basically an open-top tote, a beach bag. It’s just one big compartment, a couple thin pouches inside, one zipper […]

thirty-day photo meme: day 20

20. a photo of something you enjoy doing I picked this photo in spite of my incredible dorkitude, five months post-partum figure, etc etc etc — I love to cook! And I love to cook for Freya and I look forward to teaching her how to cook and bake from scratch, lest it become a […]
