No Dairy

I've decided to go off dairy products for two weeks to see if Van becomes less gassy. It's only day two and it's a lot harder than I thought it would be. However, if it means he doesn't wake himself up at 3:00 a.m. trying to tute, and sleeps six straight hours than it will all be worth it.

Things We Love

Ninja rubber duckies found at Running Wild Spirit.

Thank You Craigslist

We found this awesome jogging stroller on Craigslist for $50.00. It feels so great to be exercising again.

Rainy Days

Fall has officially arrived and along with it, the rain. Everything smells so fresh and looks so lush. On Saturday morning we woke up early and drove out to Magnolia to pick up a jogging stroller. There was something so wonderful about being bundled up to go out.

10 Weeks

Lately Van has been making a lot of bubbles and drool. He started rolling onto his right side and continues to coo and laugh. He enjoys being held upright and loves looking into the mirror. (I've even noticed that the mirror seems to calm him). He's incredibly strong; holding his head, pushing up with his arms during tummy time, and standing tall when assisted.

One of A Kind

Thanks for the wonderful blanket Bille. We love it so much. It's one of our favorites.

Picasa

A few people have asked me how I make my collages of Van. Well I'm happy to tell you that it's really quite easy. I use Picasa. I first noticed my friend Sylvie using it on her blog. All you have to do is upload your pictures to Picasa, click ctrl on the pictures you want, select the collage button, and voila!

Guilty Pleasure

I'm not really sure why I have been watching this show, but I have. Apparently I enjoy it because it has become one of the regulars. Something about it sucks me right in. Is it the kids? Is it Kate? Is it the raw footage? Perhaps I'll never know.

Why?

Why did Van sleep six hours straight on Tuesday and Wednesday night, and got up every two hours last night? Seriously.
