Walkin’ – Almost
Riley has been cruising so much lately! He’s pulling up on everything and walking when he can hold on to the couch table or a walking toy!

First Visit to the Dentist
Today was Landon’s first visit to the dentist! He did such a great job. We talked about it for a few weeks and he was really excited to go, but I could tell when they called us back that he was not too sure about what was going to happen. They put him in the…

Everyday Life – Mom’s Group and Fountains
A few weeks back I joined a mom’s group in Chico called the Chico Mother’s Club. I love being able to connect with other adults in the same life phase as me. It’s also great to be able to have playdates with other kids Landon’s age without playing the “lottery” of who will be at…

Everyday Life – Naps
Landon’s napping. The dog is napping. Riley just woke up from a nap. I’m NOT napping. Not that I don’t want to be. We’re in the schedule of nap times now that makes it hard to get anything done, unless I stretch nap times for Riley, which results in a cranky kid. In order for them to nap the…

Riley was 9 months old yesterday! We met the boy’s new pediatrician, Dr. Sullivan. I like her so far. She seems like she’ll work out great for my personality as a parent and degree of comfortability with medical stuff with the boys. Riley weighed in at 21 pounds and was 28.5 inches long.

Everyday Life – Music Time
Both Brad and I were very musically involved growing up. I think I was way more than Brad as I grew up in a singing instrument playing family, went through band since elementary school (Brad did too) and kept making music a part of my life even now by singing in our church worship team…

Everyday Life – Granola Bars and Parks
While I was working full time waiting for the school year to end my mom so graciously made batches of granola bars for Landon. With all of his food allergies a snack like a granola bar is impossible to buy and when every second of your life is filled with work, sleep and some form…

Everyday Life – Getting settled in
We have been in our new home for almost two weeks. Its amazing how fast the time has gone. In many ways it feels like we’ve been here for much long than two weeks, and in other ways it feels like we’re just on a long vacation. I started hanging pictures and decorations yesterday so…
