    Holiday Ideas

    December 8, 2011 / 3 Comments

    The most recent issue of Better Homes & Gardens had two brilliant holiday ideas.
    1. You can cut an inch off the bottom of your Christmas tree (which helps with absorption anyway) and use a marker or pen to write your names and the year. You can attach a piece of ribbon and create an ornament to commemorate every Christmas together.
    2. You can make a tabletop Christmas tree by poking sticks into foam in a planter, covering the foam with moss, and decorating the tree with small ornaments, pine cones, etc.
    You could also make your own advent calendar, using these tutorials from Oh, Happy Day!

    Nine Months: Happy Birthday, Henry!

    December 6, 2011 / 1 Comment

    Dearest Henry,
    This month was the first time when I sat back and thought, “The time is going too quickly! Please slow down!”
    In three short months you are going to be a year old. You are growing so much every day. It’s clear that you understand more and more of what we say and do. If your dad blows raspberries on my stomach and then tells you to do it, you will crawl over, lift my shirt, and blow raspberries to make me laugh. You like to chase and be chased.
    You are also good at communicating that you don’t want to stop eating grapes and cheese in order
