15 Months
Emilio,
15 months old! Look at you.
The biggest change in the last month is how many more words you’re picking up. You’re getting pretty skilled at mimicking us. If we say something a couple of times that we know you can repeat you catch on. Just today you came home from daycare saying UNO and holding up one finger. I think your favorite word right now is no. We don’t mind...

I know it will pass, I know he is more than capable of...

Sharing on Sleep Sharing
Co-Sleeping, Family Bed, however you want to say it. We do it.

And why would you limit yourself when thinking about an experience you have never had? Anyway, I didn’t do it. Sure, I had some...

Once Upon a Time, I was a beginner triathlete, that blog up there captured it. Then, I had a baby. Follow along as I attempt to get back to it and get that blog back in shape (hahahaha)
