So, it’s been a while??? I had to take a small tour of my blog dashboard to update and see what all had changed while I was on hiatus! Blogging has been the furthest thing on my mind since little Madi joined our family back in July last year. It has been a whirlwind since then. I feel like everything is simultaneously flying by and moving like a sloth. Cliche, right? Nonetheless,…
Oh man. I am having WAY too much fun planning and decorating a girl’s nursery! I never thought in a million years I’d be one to go for pink and flowers, but here I am! A few of the projects on this board have already been completed and I’m loving it so far! I bought these curtains from Walmart for only $20 for the pair! I’m sure at some point, I will…
Holy Moly! Can you guys even believe that I am six months pregnant?? I can’t. Until I’m running to the bathroom every 30 minutes. Then I’m all like oh yeah, duh! Well, just wanted to share a little update on what’s going on with me (& us) as we all prepare for Baby R to make his appearance. First things first, so I can stop calling him “Baby R #2”, his name…
Hey all! I realize this shindig happened a few weeks ago, I’ve been slacking! After attending another first birthday yesterday, I figured I should probably get on it! Let me start by saying that I never realized how much work could go into a first birthday party and that I never knew Alex had so many close friends and family. I think he is more popular than John and me. Probably because…
I’ll admit it. I’m a little crazy. But sometimes I really miss getting up in the night to snuggle Alex. As his first birthday approaches, I find myself missing my little snugly peanut. Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving every minute of every day watching him learn and grow and experience new things. There are just sometimes I find myself missing him in the middle of the night. I mean, for 9…
Well, we have hit a major milestone here in the Reineke Household! Alex is officially a walking machine! Although he took his first steps a little while ago, he needed a little more practice before he was confident to walk everywhere. He definitely has it down pat now! I can’t believe how fast he is on his feet; it’s a whole new level of chasing! It has been a blast so far…
Okay, you caught me. He was 10 months old a week ago. I’m never very timely with his photos, but at least they get done before it’s the next month! Alex has been pretty busy this month. He took his first steps while John was home for lunch one day, which was so exciting and scary all at the same time! I’m not sure I’m ready to be chasing a walker around…
Hey guys! I hope you had a fun weekend! (Yes, I realize it is Wednesday. How did that happen??) This past weekend was a pretty busy one for the Reineke Family! We kicked it off on Friday with the Miami University hockey game, courtesy of John’s work. It was Alex’s first hockey game! He wasn’t too sure about all the noise, but he seemed to enjoy himself. I think he was just…
This morning I was up bright and early because John got up to go to the gym at 5:45 (it’s criminal). I was planning on catching some more z’s, but he proceeded to tell me how he thought there might be a critter in our attic, so I couldn’t fall back to sleep! So, downstairs I went! Luckily, I really don’t think there is a crazed animal in our attic (I hope…
At our last checkup, Alex’s doctor said we needed to start letting him use a spoon and fork to feed himself. I almost laughed, then realized she was being totally serious. Um, a nine month old using a spoon and fork and actually getting food in his pie hole? Don’t think so. Then she mentioned that we could have a spoon and he could have a spoon. Okay. That I can work…
