Wordless Wednesday :: See Food
Someone has finally discovered food as an alternate source of filling his belly. He’s been eating jars of baby food like it’s going out of style. And the finger foods we put on his tray are eagerly enjoyed. For more Wordless Wednesday pi...
Pushing the boundaries
See that? I have a feeling I’m going to be chasing this guy for quite some time. Tebow is not interested in being fenced in. He can be content in the space for a while, but when he realizes there is grass on the other side and it just might be...
Well child and milestones not discussed
Last week Fuller had his five year well child visit. Well child visits can be fun and soooo easy. Or they can be a pain and difficult. We’ve never really had to deal with the latter. Fuller eats well (now 47 pounds), is tall (45 1/2 inches), h...
Using TV to solve our parenting problems
At the beginning of the month, Fuller reorganized his magnets on the magnetic calendar to represent the month of November. Afterwards we added special magnets for trips, holidays, and doctor appointments. One of the magnets is for “haircut̶...
Wordless Wednesday :: Playmates
I love how my boys have been playing together recently. They really enjoy each other. For more Wordless Wednesday pictures, check out 5 Minutes for Mom! Technorati Tags: wordless Wednesday, brothers, playground ...
Sleeeeeeep
There used to be a time when Tebow would sleep. He would sleep during the day in pretty much any condition. At night we struggled to get him to sleep and stay asleep. We found something that worked for us, for a little while at least. Things kind o...
Getting outside
We took our schooling to the mountain yesterday, talking about Fall, nature, and trees. Fuller had a blast running around, taking pictures with his own camera, and well… running around. Eventually we ended up at a playground. I was new to us ...
Second Child Syndrome :: Halloween Edition
On Halloween morning I had two thoughts going through my head. 1) Tebow was falling victim to Second Child Syndrome. 2) I couldn’t find pictures of Fuller’s first Halloween! Regarding the first item, I was unnecessarily worried about th...
Wordless Wednesday :: First CDM Water Play
Annnnd, I have a really interesting Wordless Wednesday on Always, Alli. Check it out! Check out other Wordless Wednesday pictures on MomDot and Five Minutes for Mom. Technorati Tags: Wordless Wednesday, Creative Discovery Museum, water ...
Still five
Turning five was pretty easy for Fuller. For one thing, we didn’t have to spend days prepping him to change the answer to “how old are you?” He totally gets that he is five now, even telling me often, “I’m so happy I...

Five
This morning Fuller and I journaled about the question, “What is a birthday?” Fuller’s answer included things like balloons, games, and cake. He was so happy to come out of his room this morning to announce, “It’s my b...
The day before
To me, Fuller’s birthday usually starts the day before, since we were checked into the hospital on the 4th. His birth the next afternoon changed our lives and we have been celebrating everyday since. My mom stopped into Chattanooga on her way...
Mommy Likes Read Aloud
I know I’ve been ranting and raving over Fuller’s reading lately, but I have to say, I’m also enjoying reading to Fuller. One of our lessons is read aloud, a time in the day where I read aloud to Fuller from a chapter book. Oh, wa...
Countdown to five
Last night Fuller went ahead and flipped the little desk calendar over to October. He wanted to go ahead and do it so he wouldn’t have to do it tomorrow. Since it is October 1st, we are now officially in Fuller’s birthday month and he is...

Tebow wows the Type A Mom crowd
Tebow and I are back from the Type A Mom Conference in Asheville, North Carolina. It was a really good trip for me, and I think for the most part it was fun for Tebow. I have been pouring over other Type A Mom pictures on flickr and there are more ...
Tebow Talks: With Teeth!
Hi! It’s me, Tebow. I’m filling in for Mommy because lately, she has been a bit busy. I’ve been busy too! I’ve been learning to crawl, pull up, eat something called “solids” (which I don’t really like, they ...
the foudation has been laid
I can’t pick up the camera and take a picture of this, because every time I look over at Fuller he gets embarrassed and says, “Mom! I don’t want you to look at me!” So, a word picture: Fuller, sitting on the couch, reading boo...
Toothfully
We took Tebow to his first Auburn football game last weekend. It was pretty nice of us since he has been pretty mean to us ever since. I mean really, how hard is it to grow teeth? According to Tebow, it is pretty awful. I mean for all the fussing, c...
Brothers gotta laugh
Even though they are four years apart, one thing Fuller and Tebow are able to do Very Well together is laugh. And laugh. And laugh. Fuller loves to get in Tebow’s face, and scream give a little shout of joy, and then they both laugh. Yesterday ...
TV Time :: Lessons in Budgeting
If you look the right of you screen, you will probably see a video player (at the moment, a mom pulling her hair out is the freeze frame). The video player is part of a parenting network called JuiceBox Jungle. The episodes bring up timely topics and...
You never know what he is thinking
[insert "that's a big baby" metaphor here]
“Wow! He’s a big boy!” “Man, look at those thighs!” “He’s like a rock.” “He’s only six months old?” “Look at the chunky monkey.” Those are some of the things we hear often ...
So far, so good
Looking back, last week was a really good first week of homeschool for both Fuller and me. Every day we were able to make it through whatever I planned. Only a few times did Fuller protest and only a few times did I feel unprepared. Fuller is a chil...
Six months and counting
Tebow turned six months old yesterday. It isn’t difficult to see the changes he has been through. The obvious one is he keeps growing. Starting out at 8 pounds, 11 ounces, he is easily in the 20 pound range now. He’s in 12 month clothing ...
Official First Day of School Picture
In preparation for our education adventure, I’ve been reading/ finding a lot more homeschool blogs. The past few weeks the Not Back-to-School Hop hosted by Darcy has been a treasure trove of finding these other families. Since this week’s...
Big Baby
Tebow is going to have to leave the infant carrier carseat soon. And this means graduating to other strollers. I pulled down the jogging stroller from the attic (all by myself!) and when I sat him in it, he looked so little! He seemed to enjoy it, an...
Burp cloths aren’t up to this task
This morning, no wait, it was yesterday Tuesday, I noticed Tebow’s nose was a little runny. This has happened before. A bit o’ snot to get through the day. It usually goes away quickly. Like in a few hours. But last night, oh wait, it wa...
Sleeping arrangements
Tebow isn’t sleeping through the night. This doesn’t bother me because at this age, Fuller didn’t sleep through the night either. And really, I’m not upset he isn’t sleeping through the night. What is irking me is the so...
