Every magician knows that you can’t reveal your tricks, but some are just too good not to share. Thankfully Grace decided to show Nolin and I her brand new move…the roll.
It seems she enjoys rolling much more in the morning than in the evening, but it also seems that she loves a bit of encouragement. She is quickly taking after her big brother in the fact that she enjoys putting on a show. Continue reading »

It’s the age old question…if a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, did it actually make a sound?
This past week, Grace decided to become a roller. The only thing is she has only rolled for mommy and Pap Pap. So that leads one to believe that she either never rolled at all, or she has decided to be selective in who she shares this milestone with. I just hope soon that she will decide to let me into the club too. Continue reading »

Having the chance for one-on-one time with either of our kids is something I thoroughly enjoy, but I have been dreading my Sunday with Nolin for a few weeks.

You know what’s awesome about having two kids?…It provides a whole new set of opportunities for first experiences.

I felt a little guilty leaving on this work trip. Not because I was once again off to Sin City where my $20 video poker budget is notorious. No, I felt guilty because I was leaving Jenn on day 3 with no pacifier.
It all started on Monday during Nolin’s first dentist appointment. Although we had been talking about pulling the pacifier for a while, we had not really mustered up the courage to it. Teresa informed us that she was not coming back to babysit a boy with a pacifier, so she laid the ground work during her first three days back with three successful naps sans pacifier.
When Jenn was talking to the dentist about the pacifier, she very nicely said you know it’s for you and not him right?
I would have said, you know you’re not the one that has to sit downstairs listening to him ask for it before he falls asleep are you? Continue reading »
