In the last week, the snow has melted; it’s rained a lot; and we’ve had visits from my mom, A.’s dad, and our good friends from San Diego; and a playdate with one of my coworkers and her 14-month-old son! Ari likes to keep busy. He does get worn out sometimes: His hair is getting… Continue reading Ari is 8 Months Old!
We’re finally all over our colds or whatever we had! We all seemed to get sick twice. Ari had his first runny nose, which was miserable and went on for days. He HATED having it sucked out or wiped! A. and I got to go out and see a really cool dance performance at a… Continue reading Ari at 7 and 2/3 Months
Hey, polar bear butt! He’s overdue for a bath here; please excuse the greasy hipster hair. We had a fun day when Jan from Artless Articles came over with Baker and it was sunny so we spent some time outside. The dogs had a blast. We went to the library for Book Babies but it… Continue reading Ari at 32 Weeks (7 1/3 Months) Old
Wow, it’s been almost two weeks since my last post! Let’s see, in the last couple of weeks, A. had an overnight work trip to Atlanta and came back with a cold, then I got the cold and called out sick for most of my last night shift and my first day shifts, and Ari… Continue reading Ari is 7 Months Old!

In my very first post, I talked about our vision board for 2012 and all the changes that actually took place that year, even though halfway through the year we didn’t think any of them would actually happen: new jobs, moving to Portland, buying a house, and… Continue reading A New Year
Look at this grown-up little boy in his overalls! He’s so cute. He likes books! Here he is in his Christmas outfit from his great aunt and uncle in D.C.: We put up these flags that A.’s brother’s wife made for their wedding and then gave us for Ari’s bedroom. They’re so cheerful! Ari’s room… Continue reading Ari’s First Christmas
My baby boy is half way to his first birthday! I can’t believe it. I’m posting earlier than normal because I’m going to use this 6-month mark to transition out of trying to photograph and post on the same day every week. It hasn’t really been happening on schedule since I went back to work,… Continue reading Ari, 6 Months Old!
This week we had visits from my mom and aunt and I took a two-day class to get certified to administer chemotherapy. I was so tired during the class because I keep staying up late at night! I hope it gets better when I start day shifts in January. One night I was able to… Continue reading Ari, Week 26
This week, Ari attended his first birthday party! Or, rather, he attended a birthday party for the first time. We were celebrating the first birthday of a coworker’s son. It was sort of like a first playdate for Ari – after the birthday boy opened his gifts (ADORABLY! growling with excitement at each one!), I… Continue reading Ari, Week 25
Oh, man. We’re starting to have our hands full here! All of a sudden, at 5 1/2 months old, Ari seems to be able to see much better than before. And – right on cue – he can reach and grab better, too. When we go out to eat he wants the silverware (or chopsticks),… Continue reading Ari, Week 24: Thanksgiving and more
