Teeth.

January 31, 2011

“Crunch” “Snap” “Chomp” Ryann signs “more” for another cracker, and I oblige.  Sitting and watching her bite and chew so methodically, my mind wanders back to the first time she ate a cookie with her new, baby teeth.  A sound I’ll never forget, that first snap of a baby cookie, with her two front teeth.

New word.

January 19, 2011

We’ve reach a new toddler milestone at the Williams’ house.  It starts with an N and ends with an O.  And goes something like this: “Ryann, may I have a kiss?” “No, no, no.” “Ryann, please get your sippy cup off the floor.” “No, no, no.” “Ryann, it’s time to change your stinky bum.” “No, [...]

B!

January 17, 2011

Today was my first full day home with Ryann.  As I was switching over the laundry and preparing yet another snack for her, Ryann  played with her magnetic letters on the dishwasher.  I pause for a moment and Ryann enthusiastically yells B!  She’s in fact holding the letter B.  I shout, YES, B, THAT’S RIGHT.

Playing.

January 10, 2011

Ryann is finally getting over the stage where EVERYTHING goes in her mouth. She attempts to put non-edibles in her mouth but can be redirected and is much better about not doing it every second. So we color and draw…. …and read… …and  build… …and she sits…. Cause playing is hard work.

More than a 1st Birthday.

September 16, 2010

This post is two fold.  You see, Ryann’s Birthday turned into so much more than a 1st birthday party.  It’s also a story of friendship and the bond that you have with old (and new) friends.  The magical bond that babies have in bringing people together,  reconnecting friends and creating new relationships. I canceled Ryann’s [...]

6 Months ago…

March 12, 2010

. ..I pushed out a tiny baby at exactly this time. (I’m a nerd and set this post to publish at exactly 11:09a.m.)  Our hearts burst with love. We loved every inch of our 6lb 15oz baby girl.  She was perfect, slept well, loved to be held and was a breastfeeding champ!  And then she [...]

5 months

February 12, 2010

Ryann is 5 months old today.  She has changed so much over the past 5 months.  She smiles when you talk to her, looks for your voice and gives the pouty lip when she dislikes something. Ryann is 13lbs and 25.25 inches long.  Her top five favorites: 5. Strolling around the neighborhood 4. Playing in [...]

I’m just not ready.

January 24, 2010

I won’t deny having some OCD tendencies.  When JPW would travel back and forth to work each week I hated seeing him bring a big suitcase every time.  I thought if he brought a small backpack it wouldn’t make the weeks without him seem so long and lonely.  Every Sunday night I’d say, “do you [...]
