My Family

Dear Eva, I always feel like I have a million things to write in these letters but the moment I sit down my mind goes blank. Almost everyday I’m experience moments where I’m like, “Quick! I need to write this down before I forget.” But then I tell myself I need to just chill and…

Damian had his six-month checkup on tuesday! He is 27 inches long and weighs a little over 19lbs. Crazy! He is regularly pulling himself up on things. He’s also getting better at transitioning from the sitting to crawling position and then back again, but he’s still not crawling in a traditional way. He was sick…

Eva had an amazing week for a two-year-old. We went on an outing to Maymont in Richmond, which I’ll write about another time. The highlight of our week, of course, was Halloween. It was Eva’s first time trick-or-treating and she’s obsessed now. I had to explain to her the next day why we couldn’t do…

Little Red Riding Hood is by Kenzie’s Treasures and the Big Bad Wolf I found on Amazon.

Eva’s really diggin this whole Halloween thing. It’s the first year she really knows what’s going on. She keeps asking to paint pumpkins, so we let her twice this week.

Damian has officially started solids. Yes, we let him nibble on cantaloupe and banana when we were in Jamaica, but now I’m giving him pureed food about twice a day. I also planned on waiting until six months to introduce solids, but boy was he ready. And he’s close enough, anyway. He LOVES food. So…

Eva had so much fun with all the Sesame Street activities at Beaches. She hung out with the characters everyday. After two weeks of it, I feel like she thought it was just her new life. Between that and the beach, Eva had another “best week of her life.” But the plane ride home? Not…

Dear Evita, I think this is the first letter since you’ve been born that has been late. On the day I usually write this, we were still in Jamaica soaking up the sun and splashing in the warm ocean. You were back in your element, and my heart was so happy for you. Almost every…
