Wednesday, June 29th, 2005Mom Has Big Baby No. 3 “Big Enchilada”: wow, I can’t even imagine something like that coming out of (or being in, for that matter) Sandi.
They love books!
Tuesday, June 28th, 2005A couple of days ago I started allowing The Girls to bring a book to bed. It is super cute to see them lying there looking at their books. I am glad that they love books so much. Yesterday I took them to
Costco Rocks!
Monday, June 27th, 2005Last week I finally decided to try out Costco.com online picture uploading and printing.
It was a wonderful experience. All I had to do was select the pics I wanted at home and put them into an album. I just downloaded some software from Costco.com and then uploaded my pics! They asked me [...]
Pictures Galore
Sunday, June 26th, 2005I’ve just finished uploading 480 photographs to the gallery. They represent the first four months of Kimberly and Annie’s lives and they’re fully titled—well, looking back, I see a few I missed. I will try to upload at least a month at a time, but it’s going to be fairly slow going because the titles [...]
Very Scary Morning
Friday, June 24th, 2005Thursday morning I got up and gave The Girls cereal with milk and toast. I have been putting off trying peanut butter for a long time. I went ahead and gave it a shot.
UGGH! Kimmie is either allergic to Fruit Loops or peanut butter. Her eyes started swelling up and she [...]
Annie loves the potty
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005For about a month now Annie has been talking about pee pee. Her sister, Kimberly, talks about poop. If you go into the bathroom without them they stand outside the door asking “pee pee” or “poop.”
Lately, Annie has been going on the potty often. Today when I was changing their diapers before [...]
“ISE-CEAM”
Tuesday, June 21st, 2005Kimberly has developed a passion for “ise-ceam.” Whenever I get her dressed for the day, she runs to the garage door and says “ise-ceam.” When I say we are going to go somewhere and to get their cups and get in the van, again she screams “ise-ceam.” One would think that we [...]
They love the heat!
Tuesday, June 21st, 2005I am currently sitting out on my patio watching my children play in the yard. It is currently 99° and it may get up to 110°. I was probably the exact same when I was younger, but uggh! Children are so funny about what they will tolerate. Give them a food [...]
Bye Bye
Tuesday, June 21st, 2005Last night, after I gave her a bath and was putting on her diaper, Kimberly said, “Buh bye, belly button! Buh bye, tu-tu!” For those that might not know, the “tu-tu” or “pee-pee” is a girl’s private parts. I started cracking up; I would have never thought to say goodbye to one’s own body parts [...]
A Day for Dad
Sunday, June 19th, 2005Today was Father’s Day and it’s been a good one so far. We had a nice breakfast that Sandi made for me and The Girls gave me my gifts. Well, actually, they gave me two of my gifts yesterday because they were so proud of them. Kimberly came toddling over with two nice pairs of [...]
Talk Back
Saturday, June 18th, 2005I’ve added a contact form to this site so you can send us an email without ever having to know our email address. As a reader, we’d love to give you our email addresses but if we publicly shared them then the spammers would get them. Thus far, our fivebrowns.com email addresses have been remarkably [...]
Some nights . . .
Friday, June 17th, 2005Madeline can such a wonderful baby. Other nights like last night she can keep me up most of the night, including a little party from 3:30 - 5. She does not cry at her party and honestly she is very cute. Problem is I cannot have a party at that time. [...]
How do you teach them that ants bite?
Thursday, June 16th, 2005Annie loves bugs. She loves to hold them and let them crawl on her. Only trouble is that the only bugs that will willingly crawl onto your skin are ants.
Today I noticed that Annie’s ankle was swollen. Upon further inspection, I found out that the reason was because she is riddled [...]
New sandals
Thursday, June 16th, 2005Kimberly and Annie got new sandals Tuesday night! They light up and the girls love them. Kimberly has had hers on from sunrise until sundown since we have owned them. She loves them.
Sleeping in her crib!
Thursday, June 16th, 2005While I am typing this Madeline is sleeping in her crib! This is only the second time in her 8 weeks of life that this has happened. She normally naps downstairs on the sofa, in her swing or in her bouncy chair. At night she sleeps with me or Bill, which means [...]
Where has the time gone?
Wednesday, June 15th, 20058 weeks ago today my little Madeline was born. I cannot believe it has been that long. Her fussies are doing much better. She still has a fussy time but it is more like 10-20 minutes a night. Sometimes I think she just has to cry a little and let out [...]
Eat Mor Chikin
Wednesday, June 15th, 2005Last night, I brought some Chick Fil-A home for dinner. The Girls absolutely loved it—Madeline seemed to like her version of it, too—and ate almost an entire 12-piece by themselves. Even Kimberly, the particular eater, scarfed down her nuggets. Since this is one of my particular food loves, I was very happy to see much [...]
Gross and Grape-y
Sunday, June 12th, 2005You know how sometimes your daughter knows it’s time for nap and shoves eight grapes in her mouth “for the road” and then lays in her crib trying to get them down and then can’t and then projectile vomits the grapes and the rest of the contents of her stomach into your cupped hands?
Yeah, that’s [...]
Annie, the Rough and Tumble
Saturday, June 11th, 2005Annie is not your ordinary kind of girl. Sure, she likes to play dolls and wear her costume jewlery, but she also likes to play rough. She loves to play dinosaur and growl. She loves to wrestle—she is stronger than all of her cousins. (They are all boys and much older than [...]
Chatty Kimmie
Saturday, June 11th, 2005Kimberly has a vast vocabulary. She is constantly talking and repeating each and everything we say. She amazes me constantly with her words. Well, not just words. . . sentences too. She is now able to put three to five word sentences together. She is an amazing little girl.
She has [...]
