Morgan’s First Day of School
Our first “baby” started Kindergarten this year. It was bittersweet for us. While we’ve enjoyed watching her grow and learn, it is hard to see her start school because we know she’s growing up. Traditionally in Minnesota school starts the day after Labor Day. Tuesday, September 8th came and she was [...]
Miina’s First Word
We have determined that Miina’s first word is more of a phrase. She constantly points to things and says, “What’s that?”. Sure, she has said “dada” for a while now, but that’s not aimed particularly at me. She calls Leslie “dada” too.
map my ride/run
One of the cool things about the iPhone 3GS is the GPS function. There are all sorts of apps that take advantage of the tracking on the phone. I found a nice app called mapmyride and mapmyrun. I will be using the ride on more than the run because I ride the bike at night [...]
Me and Miina Weekend
It was a me and Miina weekend. Leslie had to take Toby up to Hibbing in advance of our Omaha vacation. She decided that it would be fun to take Morgan too. So I stayed behind to play with my new iPhone and to watch Miina. After seeing Leslie and Morgan off, we just relaxed [...]
Miina’s 9 month appt
We took her to the doctor for her 9 month yesterday.
She is doing really well. She is 50% for head, 15% for weight and 50% for height. Our doctor isn’t concerned about her weight for now, he said she should even out over the course of the next 3 months (by her 12 month visit). [...]
Aunt Susie
Aunt Susie came to visit us last Friday. Morgan was very excited. Mostly because we were going to the MOA after picking Susie up from the airport. At the MOA, we did some shopping then after dinner we put Morgan on some rides. Leslie and I wanted to do some more shopping on our own, [...]
Crawling at 7 Months
Well now we are really in trouble. Miina took her first forward crawling motion on Sunday. She’s been trying so hard for a few weeks now. Finally she figured it out. Now, 3 days later she seems to be developing her crawling skills quite nicely. Yesterday, Leslie said that Miina was on the living room [...]
Morgan Burn
On Saturday we had our friend Ryan over to visit. Well in the afternoon the living room was quite messy so I wanted Morgan to pick up her horses. She was sitting at the table playing and refused to do it. Ryan said to Morgan, “If you don’t pick up then we will pick them [...]
Miina Update
We havent posted anything in a while, but a lot has been going on with Miina. Ireland must have changed her, because ever since we got back she has not had the fussy time at night. Miina still has been waking up once per night for food but in the past week or so we [...]
Baby’s First Halloween
Last Friday was Miina’s first Halloween. She used Morgan’s peapod costume, one of the many hand-me-downs. It was more of a themed costume because Morgan was a princess. The princess and the pea(pod). You may remember it from a Bee Movie, or just Google it, I had to.
Anyway, Leslie took the girls around the neighborhood. [...]
