Pip hugs her mama

I know I’m doing things opposite, by beginning this post with the grand finale picture, but I just can’t help myself. On Friday, I taught Piper Jane how to hug, and we were able to work on it a little bit over the weekend. I was worried I’d have to go over it a lot [...]

Pip’s new hat (going outside)

In an attempt to make going outside more pleasant for Pippy’s sensitive eyes, I bought her a little sunhat (thanks for the suggestion Kayla!). It backfired. Know why? I covered the Pip in sunscreen and she got some in her eyes while shielding the sun with her hands. It was so so so bright outside [...]

pj in some pj’s

I saw Piper Jane on Friday, but other than that, Jake and I have pretty much stayed home this weekend. Jake is sick and we’ve been worried about bringing a bug to our little Pipsqueaker. Needless to say, I’m counting down for Tuesday. It’s going to be a smother-fest. If you are like me and [...]

Piper Jane mauls mama

One of my favorite new things that the pip does, happens when I’m on the floor with her. We often put a sheet down and it’s been a great way for her to spread out and crawl around more (which I’ll have you know she is nailing). One time I laid down on the sheet [...]

Piper Jane plays with Hannah

Today Piper Jane met the beautiful Hannah. Hanna came all the way from Queens to meet this Pip, and she was all over her. It was heaven for my chicky-pip. She left my lap over and over for Hannah’s, she showed Hannah her toys and she only took her eyes off of her new friend [...]

Charleston: Boone Plantation and Sailing. I sail.

I think Saturday was my favorite day in Charleston. We went to the Boone Plantation and wandered around looking at the beautiful trees. One of the things I was looking forward to most with my return to SC was the spanish moss that grows on the trees. It makes everything look like a fairy tale. [...]

Charleston: crabs

We just got back from a little vacation to Charleston, South Carolina. I had been looking forward to the trip all summer, especially when things were so busy that I nearly exploded. The only reason I didn’t explode was thanks to the Charleston thoughts. I’m pretty sure at least.. Anyway, my (really they’re our’s, but [...]

Piper Jane goes outside

This is a ton of piptures. This time I mean it. I just kept liking more and more and had to post a lot. Yesterday Piper Jane was so happy and cute that I keep thinking about the day and smiling. Plus it’s the big kind of smile that you do on the subway and [...]

Pip is a spittin’ handful

The Pip has been a handful and a half these days. She is a fireball of energy, and stronger than ever. She is constantly on the prowl for the next mess to make and always scouring the room for something to get in to. They have had to rearrange her furniture because she’ll just reach [...]

Reagan and Jake do Coney (again)

At first I loved Jake for letting me drag him to Coney Island so much. But then i loved Jake when I realized he loves Coney Island himself. Maybe he wont admit that, and maybe he’ll be like “Reagan, remove that first paragraph from your blob immediately”, but I know he loves it. I saw [...]
