Because I am still nursing full-time, Adeline went with me to Atlanta this past weekend. (Our freezer stockpile is in the single digits!) I am one of those moms who does not have a problem nursing in public places, though I try to always do it as discretely as possible – sitting in the back [...]

Elias had his first dentist appointment on Thursday. Since I wanted to capture it, I told Matthew I would take Elias and then drop both kids at school. When we got to the dentist, I tucked my camera and wallet in the diaper bag, not wanting to carry in my too big purse too. When [...]

Yesterday went great. YAY! Adeline took three bottles from Matthew with little trouble. She didn’t nap much at all, but she did sleep through the night!
