We started Elliott on solid foods last week… Initially, he was so excited about the new objects I was holding in my hand… That is, until I let him sample the avocado… No captions necessary, right?! I’m sure the poor kid thought we were torturing him! Look at those faces!! Day 2 went a little better…… Continue reading A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words…

Do The Puyallup
The Puyallup Fair is so cool that its website is www.thefair.com. Now, come on…you don’t get much cooler than that. Brian wanted to bring Elliott to his very first Puyallup Fair for one reason, and one reason alone… THE TRACTORS. Elliott and I both learned about the two major tractor companies represented at the fair…John… Continue reading Do The Puyallup
A Very Happy Half Birthday!
Our sweet baby boy is 6 months old! The joy that he brings to our lives is indescribable…we just cherish every second with our little man! One of the best parts about this last month is that Elliott is learning that he can joke around with us. He LOVES to fake laugh just to watch… Continue reading A Very Happy Half Birthday!
Cheeseburger Paradise
So it’s not a huge secret that I had a cheeseburger or two (um, every single day) of my second and third trimesters of my pregnancy with Elliott. I am convinced that’s why he’s so strong and healthy!! You’ve gotta consume over 100 grams of protein daily when you’re roasting a bun in your oven!… Continue reading Cheeseburger Paradise
The first step is admitting you have a problem…
I have a problem. Well, maybe it’s not my problem after all…I mean, the source of my problem is in the fact that Elliott is so darn cute!!! I have taken WAY, (WAY, WAY) too many pictures of him this month. As in, well over 600 since his last monthly birthday. *sigh* So I put… Continue reading The first step is admitting you have a problem…

All American, Baby!!
Be warned…this “4th of July” post is mostly a big excuse to post a bunch of themed pictures of Elliott. 🙂 Elliott just loved his first 4th of July (outside the womb). It was a glorious day here in Tacoma. The 4th of July is definitely one of those days where it is just an… Continue reading All American, Baby!!
3 Months Old!
Okay, be warned. I am totally becoming “that mom.” In a lot of ways. This month, I have said that about myself on multiple occasions…I feel like every time I turn around, I say to myself with an eye roll, “Oh, Susanne…you are totally ‘that mom’“… Like, a FANTASTIC day is a day that I… Continue reading 3 Months Old!
Tribute to Daddy-O
Brian is not your typical dad, in that no sports game, round of golf, or cigar smoke with his buddies can entice this dad away on Father’s Day. All he asked for was to be with us. So we spent the day staring at sweet Elliott, and ooing and ahhing over every little move he… Continue reading Tribute to Daddy-O
