Elliot turned one month old earlier this week. Yesterday, we went to the pediatrician for her checkup. I have a one month old the size of a four month old, according to the pediatrician. She’s gained exactly 2 pounds since birth, and weighed in at 11 pounds 8 ounces. She’s outgrown all her 0-3 month […]
TOS Review: Media Talk 101
The TOS Review Crew has been reviewing a DVD from Media Talk 101 titled “Captivated: Finding Freedom in a Media Captive Culture”. The topic of media and the ‘addiction’ that our culture has with video games, Facebook, movies, and television is something that fascinates me, so this was a fun review I jumped at the […]
TOS Review: Spelling You See
As part of the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew, I’ve been working on a review with Spelling You See‘s Level A:Listen and Write with Ruby for the past few months. She’s doing kindergarten work this year in our homeschool, and this was right up her alley. As the only “student” who didn’t have spelling – because […]
Ellie: 3.5 weeks
Bless you, whoever you are, for creating the baby swing. It took me three and a half weeks to give in and get it out. I hate the space it takes up. But when this dear girl allows me to get something done with both arms for a bit while she does this… It’s totally […]
Sleep deprived thoughts.
Interesting weight loss plan: 27 pounds in 24 days via childbirth. Way to keep it going: have a baby who instinctively knows when I’m trying to eat and prevents me from it. I’ll be model thin in no time. (Or I’m seriously disillusioned.) Ellie’s growing. While she hasn’t gained all that I’ve lost by any […]
Pierce: 1. Momma: 0.
What happens when Pierce sees a few of his sisters getting haircuts and is denied one himself? He takes matters into his own hands, balds himself in several spots, and gets what he wants. He had the grace to look momentarily remorseful before he claimed he won the fight. Well played, little man. Well played.
Maybe Oil and Water can mix, after all.
In a rare moment of sharing without finding a way to be upset with one another, Oil and Water were reading a look and find “Where’s Waldo” type book together the other day. I had to take a photo, just to remind myself that it can happen. They play together on a regular basis. They […]
TOS Review: Mango Languages
For the past six weeks or so, three of my older children and I have been using Mango Languages and their Homeschool Curriculum for teaching languages as part of the Old Schoolhouse Review Crew. For ages 6 to adult, I chose to do this review with Sterling, 6, Eden, 9, and Liberty, 10. Mango offers […]
Oh, Baby.
Elliot has regained the weight she lost in her first week, reached her birth weight once more, giggled in her sleep, learned to really, really like being held, and outgrown the few newborn size clothes I own. She’s finished her first pack of diapers and made me exceptionally glad I have a stash of cloth […]
Elliot: 1 week
Blaine took some newborn photos of Ellie. She already fights the newborn curl… she was adamant her legs be straight. Apparently she’s enjoying this newfound freedom.
