Maia the Bedbug

February 24, 2010

A month or so ago now, we moved Maia into her own bedroom.  Prior to that, we’d had her in her bassinet (and then her crib when she became more mobile) in our bedroom, on my side of the bed.  But we hit a point where she began waking up and wanting to nurse for [...]

Goodnight kisses

February 6, 2010

I am usually the one who puts Maia to bed.  It’s our time to read and snuggle and reconnect with one another, and even though I’m pretty sure nursing her to sleep is a no-no in terms of what I “should” be doing in order to get her to sleep through the night, well, I [...]

Then she picks up a [...]

The Big Girls

December 26, 2009

There are so many parenting things I’m completely unprepared for, things I never thought about that touch me deeply.
On Christmas day, we were visiting family, and in attendance were two other children — a ten year old girl, and a four year old girl.  They got along really well with one another, and although they [...]

The Olympic Flame

December 23, 2009

Recently, the Olympic torch passed through our town on its way to Vancouver.  I had to work (SIGH) but Chris and Maia got bundled up and went out to watch it arrive together.

As you can see, Maia ended up wearing my mittens because, well, she didn’t have her own pair.  I’ve since remedied that, but [...]
