5.5 – Kindergarten!
As the title give away, this post will focus on likely the largest milestone to date – you started kindergarten! This post might be a bit shorter than normal because things are a bit nutty right now. That said, the last six months have been exciting as always. You played T-ball this year, and as…

5!
Hey Buggy, It is such a cliche parent thing to say – but you are growing up so fast! The last six months I have seen more development in you than any other span that size. Everything from social aspects to life application of learnings to openness to new things and experiences. Your art has…

4 1/2 – Summer 2018
Here we are again 6 months later and going into the fall of 2018. This summer has been an incredible one – and the change is you in happening daily. What hasn’t changed – you are still sweet as ever. Lots of firsts this summer: Caught first fish First MLB game First dance recital First…

You have been going to preschool and are getting ready to finish up your first year! As mentioned previously, you are in the 3/4 class at Wesleyan and your class is adorably called the Ladybugs. The school is in North End and your teachers are teacher Gina and teacher Beth. We were worried about you…

3.5 years
Another 6 months gone by and another list of first. A few general updates: You are an incredibly caring big sister. You love little Ethan boy so much and are constantly trying to help us with him, play with him, love on him and tell everyone about him. Perhaps TMI – but I got snipped…

“Threen” is a real thing
The title of this post is accurate, but not as dramatic as it sounds. While we had hoped we would skip the terrible twos, we haven’t quite made it out unscathed as we recently learned about the “threens”, and you are beginning to show signs of its effects. Now, like I said, it’s not as…

2.5 years – You are becoming a human!
I know that sounds weird, but really, before now it has been really fun watching progression but they were things like sitting up, walking, saying gibberish and so on. You are now starting to exemplify real human traits, and it is really exciting! This was a big 6 months for you. You took your second…

1+1=2
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARPER MAE! You’re two! I keep thinking how weird it is going to be when you read this and just see your life in 6 month increments. Will seem like it went so fast. Trust me, it didn’t. Kidding (kind of). As always, another full round of firsts! First babysitter (Lindsey, or as…

1.5 and going strong
Guess what? Seriously, guess what? You did the most unbelievable thing since you were born during the last six months. It was something neither of us thought would ever happen. An action we had given up on long ago. But your surprised us, and in the most positive way possible. YOU ARE SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!…

Made it a year!
I am happy to report that we have made it to the year mark and you (and we) are still in one piece. The last six months were very different than the first. Let’s start with some of the firsts you have had over these last six months: First crawl First (and second) plane ride…
Got any book recommendations?
