Brandon is 2!

9 Mar 2010

Brandon turned 2 on Sunday! Bring it on, terrible two’s! :) We had a party at My Gym, and the theme was Disney Pixar’s UP.

I made mini ice cream cone cupcakes, 3d characters from the movie, and had a little dvd player playing the movie. I didn’t realize planning a kid’s birthday party was so [...]

Survey results, extra entries, and preschool update

In: Personal Experiences

27 Jan 2010

Thanks to everyone who has taken my survey so far! Some of the things I’ve heard you say are that you want more mommy giveaways (like makeup and snacks), organic products, cloth diapers, strollers, and recipes. Thanks for the feedback, and I will try to get you more of those types of giveaways soon! If [...]

Extra entry time…

In: Personal Experiences

25 Jan 2010

Ok, so I’m super stressing about preschools right now! Brandon is going to be 2 in March, and I already have to stress about this?? How much earlier can this start? In the womb?? Haha. Everyone I’ve talked to is already standing in line, or on a wait list, or already enrolled in their 2’s [...]

Happy New Year!

In: Personal Experiences

1 Jan 2010

Wow, it’s 2010! We got a little crazy and had some sparkling apple cider (I’m still nursing). I can’t believe I started this blog almost exactly a year ago. It’s been a fun, at times difficult, busy, rewarding, eye-opening, learning experience for me. I enjoy keeping this blog, but I also have a full-time job, [...]

babybix – monthly view (and poop)

In: Personal Experiences| babybix Site Features

22 Nov 2009

I haven’t written much about our main site, babybix.com lately, because of all the Holiday fun. I know we have a lot of new users, and I wanted to point out our fairly new feature, Monthly View. It’s been really helpful for me lately, because Brandon has a funky poop schedule. He poos about once [...]

18 month shots + blood test

In: Personal Experiences

23 Sep 2009

Brandon had his 18-month checkup yesterday, and he had to get his blood tested first. They had 2 different people try in both arms, and pricked him a total of 3 separate times, each time digging around in there. Poor baby. The part he hates most is being held down, I think.
Then we had our [...]

child bike seat recommendations?

In: Personal Experiences

19 Sep 2009

I haven’t been to the gym since before B was born. Yikes. My husband goes every day. Haha. I guess it’s something that I have to lug around a 35 lb 18-month old, but still I can’t wait to get back on my bike. We used to go for bike rides all the time, even [...]

songs with hand motions

In: Personal Experiences

19 Sep 2009

B loves when I sing him songs with hand motions. Even though he doesn’t say many words yet, he is able to learn the hand motions to the songs. Unfortunately, I’m a horrible mom and I don’t know very many songs with hand motions! He loves Itsy Bitsy Spider (his first sign was spider), the [...]

peet’s black bottom cupcakes – top of b’s yum-yum list

In: Brandon's Must-Haves| Personal Experiences| Snacks

12 Sep 2009

Brandon is at a stage right now where he is kind of “whatever” about foods. I recently taught him the ASL sign for “more”, and he picked it up really quickly, but doesn’t have to use it very often because he hardly ever wants more of anything!
Today, he used the sign when he wanted to [...]
