Lima Beans?
Oliver has gone through phases of eating different foods. He started off eating hummus, which he now doesn’t like… a texture thing perhaps? Now Oliver is into a lima bean phase. I don’t know when, if ever, I ate lima beans as a kid. (Hey Mom, do you want to weigh in on this?) I …
The Morning Music
Jeremy and I have always listened to music as we prepared our weekend breakfast. The morning music has changed recently. Jeremy has discovered that Pandora Radio has a toddler channel.

Requisite Snow Photo
During the recent Blizzard of ’13 Oliver and I had a lot of time indoors. Unfortunately, we spent much of it under the weather. During the storm on Friday we made it outside for a little while and Oliver was not so sure about the cold, white stuff. I didn’t know at that point he …
Are You My Mother?
Amanda gave Oliver the book, Are You My Mother? at the HMS baby shower. The book is a classic & much enjoyed in our house. Tonight it was in the spirit of the book that Oliver asked Calle to read it to him. Unfortunately, like the little bird in the story, Oliver went to the …
