We have a busy weekend ahead of us. This Saturday, the 8th, is especially busy for Mike. Not only is it the opening day for turkey season, but it's also his 31st birthday! :) I think he's trying to kind of just ignore it, but we're determined not to let him. He's getting the most amazing carrot cake I can find (his absolute favorite) and I'm ( Read more... )

Yep - I admit it. I'm obsessed with the February 05 Baby Center community. I didn't realize it until suddenly it dawned on me that I was spending almost all of my online time in the forum. I found out about the site back when I was pregnant with Michael, and found it to be a priceless resource of information and advice. Thankfully the ladies ( Read more... )

I can't believe it's been so long since I last did a Mikey B. update! So much has happened that I don't even know where to start ( Read more... )

Not only has his rolling over lead to him sleeping on his belly at night (all through the night, mind you)... but as of yesterday afternoon, my little munchkin is also eating solids. I can hardly believe he'll be six months old next week. WOW! He's almost sitting up on his own, too ( Read more... )
