Although Lane’s bedtime saga continues (things are improving but we have a long way to go), recently little Paige turned 1 month old and I didn’t want that milestone to go by unnoted.
Paige is doing great. Her weight gain issue has been resolved and she’s now over a pound heavier than she was when [...]
Saturday night was Lane’s fifth night of his crib strike. We’ve been really talking up the “big boy bed,” and Saturday we made some major improvements. Since the cool truck sheets I ordered from Pottery Barn Kids won’t be here for another week, we went to Sears to pick out two sets of [...]
I’ve cobbled together a wish list for Lane’s 2nd birthday. If I think of anything to add I’ll update the list and do a quick blog posting.
There are a lot of changes going on in Lane’s little life these days: Paige’s birth, moving into the Two Year Old’s room at daycare, moving from crib to “big boy bed,” starting toilet training, and ditching the nighttime bottle. Whew! I’d planned to try to phase them in over time where possible, [...]
In my last posting I noted that nursing got better after the tongue tie was corrected, but then (a.) Paige was losing weight, and (b.) we had thrush. One step forward, two steps back. Well, we’ve made progress on both new challenges.
The weight loss was noted at our doctor’s appointment on Friday, July [...]
Things are starting to get more challenging with Paige. I was hoping to avoid this topic on the blog, but I suppose it’s inevitable: starting last Tuesday (7/8), Paige stopped pooping. Not cold turkey; she still had one or two per day. But newborns are supposed to poop a lot, and until [...]
Paige’s tongue tie before the procedure. Click here for during & after photos.
On Tuesday of last week (July 8th, at 11 days old), Paige had her tongue untied. I mentioned this briefly in an earlier posting, but thought it was worth a full posting. Tongue tie is a congenital problem in which [...]
Photos from the long 4th of July weekend and the view of the fireworks from Tad’s work are now posted on Phanfare.
Lane, Paige, and Mommy
Lane has been adjusting extremely well to having a baby sister in the house. I think it’s because Grandma is here to give him pretty much her undivided attention, so I’m a little afraid of her going home next weekend! We prepped Lane as best we could before Paige was [...]
Lane’s second and Paige’s first 4th of July was lots of fun. After Tad made us breakfast, we road-tested our new, bright green, Phil & Ted’s double stroller with a walk to Standley Park. (Lane was indifferent, but Paige was not a fan of the stroller. Hopefully she’ll get more comfortable with [...]
I’ve uploaded a bunch more photos to Paige’s first album on Phanfare.
In keeping with her incredibly easy delivery, Paige has been an incredibly easy baby so far. I thought I was so lucky with Lane, that he was such an easy baby, and figured I was due for a tough one after that. [...]
When Lane was born, I’d considered keeping my laptop with me and updating this blog during labor. That didn’t happen for a bunch of reasons, several of which are obvious, but also because it would have been just darn inconvenient to try to work a laptop from a hospital bed. This time around [...]
This blog posting is the story of Paige Elisabeth Gallistel’s entrance into the world (7lbs, 9oz; 19.5″; born 6/27/08 at 3:38pm). Paige’s birth was much quieter, easier, and faster than her big brother’s — typical for 2nd babies. All week last week I was very gradually getting stronger and more frequent contractions, [...]
