Dear Blog, I have been neglecting you. I apologize. Since we last spoke, we took a trip to WI to visit the family. While there, William learned to crawl (at 6mos), cut his 2nd tooth (sorry I may have forgotten to tell you he got his first tooth September 12th), and made friends with my parents’ dog. He was a good traveller… Read more →

Huuurumph
That is the noise I made when I just realized it has been over a month since I’ve posted anything here. I knew it had been awhile, I just didn’t think it had been that long. Time sure does fly. Since my last post William has developed quite a few new exciting skills. He now screams and babbles to his… Read more →
Will’s First Spoon Feeding
We tried rice cereal for the first time today. Will LOVED it! He knew how to open his mouth when he saw the spoon coming. I guess watching us (and the kids at daycare) intently has paid off. Read more →
Babycakes
Lately babycakes has been keeping us very busy. We had Will’s 4 month check-up on the 20th of July. He measured 25.75″, 15.59lbs, and had a 17.2″ head circumference. This places him at the 79th percentile for length, 64th percentile for weight, and 86th percentile for head circumference. I think we trended into a major growth spurt right after his appointment. From what I understand,… Read more →
Slacker
Once again I’ve been a slacker in the blog-writing department. Almost a month since my last post! The biggest news from this past month is that Jason finally caved in to my demands and we built a fence between our yard and our neighbors to the north. The house to the north is a rental house, and for the first… Read more →
Back to Work
I went back to work about 2 weeks ago, and therefore, nothing has been posted on my blog for approximately 2 weeks. Here is the latest: I started back at work and Will started daycare on June 4th. On my first day back Jason and Will sent me flowers at work. Jason has never had flowers delivered before so it was a… Read more →

The end…and they all lived happily ever after…
Simply titling this post “the end” seemed like a downer, so I’ve added “happily ever after” to liven it up a bit. The month of May was good to the Baxter family and as it ends I find that it was a very busy month giving me lots to write about. I held true to my promise to “try harder”… Read more →
Small Problem(s)
While home with the baby yesterday I looked out the back window to discover we have a small problem. Actually 7 of them that I counted. They have moved under the metal shed after digging out a home. A few years ago they lived under our wooden shed, which made sense because it was elevated off the ground and had… Read more →
A mid-month update
All of my news these days seems to be related to baby Will. This may be a testament to how a new baby really does manage to take over your life. Who do I look like? After a terrible week of sleep and perhaps a growth spurt around week 7, I made it a goal to get Will on a better… Read more →
