A few things you should know before you read this post:
1) Elizabeth can be very hard to feed.
2) Baby food vegetables such as peas, spinach, and “Garden Vegetables” are notoriously nasty-tasting, but necessary, making meal time that much harder.
3) Paul and I are two completely different individuals, and accordingly, have two completely different methods […]

While I’m waiting for the time, energy and photos to blog about Halloween, I thought I’d share yet more photos.
Here are the 3 S’s
Sisters
Stubbornness
(Elizabeth trying unsuccessfully to remove her sippy cup from the side pocket of the diaper bag)
Sweet
(sweet Daddy’s devotion to a cold, wet and tired little baby girl.)
I should’ve titled this post […]

I’ve added a new photo of the girls to “The Girls” page.
It seems that the only time I can get them both side-by-side is when they are harnessed in the double stroller.
I think the picture is hilarious.
Here are a few thoughts:
Elizabeth looks like she’s about to get in a street fight. (I can just hear […]

…the girls have giardia, too.
And since it’s been over a week since I was on medication for it, we’ve probably reinfected me as well. Which means that Paul probably has it now, too.
Sigh.
Jane’s birthday is next week, so I thought we’d just go on and buy her one of these lovely fuzzy Giardia dolls to […]

Today began a new chapter in the Martin household.
I am going to teach Elizabeth to try new foods.
According to our pediatrician, it’s likely that Elizabeth does NOT have food texture issues, since she will eat ground beef in all forms (tacos, spaghetti, hamburgers), hard and crunchy Nilla wafers, pizza, and many other “classic” texture-difficult […]

Bad naps.
They are the bane of the SAHM existence.
If you don’t have kids, you are probably thinking that “bad naps” is an oxymoron.
Well, it isn’t.
“Bad naps” actually means, at least in our house, “Short naps.”
Jane and Elizabeth both sleep, on average, about 2 hours every day.
Those 2 hours are a gift from God, as […]

When I bought Jane’s very first box of crayons, I decided to buy the “washable” kind.
Standing in Target, I imagined accidental marks on clothes, carpet, and furniture, and considered the possibility of Jane intentionally coloring on the wall.
I shuddered at the thought of waxy crayon permanently lodged in the fibers of the carpet and in […]

…if you give a young toddler cut cherries to eat, very shortly she will look like she has a mouthful of blood.
So do not panic. It’s just cherry juice.
You’re welcome.

She finally did it.
Elizabeth is officially walking.
On August 4, 2006, at approximately 2:30pm at my Aunt Janice’s house in Jacksonville, Florida, Elizabeth took more than two steps and walked from her Daddy to her Mommy.
We unfortunately did not have the camera with us, so I have no photographic record of this historic event; however, we […]
