    Baby Update: Lil’ Buddy is 8 months old!

    April 21, 2020 - By 

    Back on my old website, I used to provide monthly updates for my family and friends back home and around the world on how Lil’ Ziggy was growing. I thought it only fitting that I continue that tradition with Lil’ Buddy! You know how second children go, you always tend to miss a few things that you were diligent about with the first one. Even on social media, where I’ve been doing the majority of my communication for the past few years, I’ve been skipping months with Lil’ Buddy. But as I was looking back on old posts about Lil’…

    Baby Update: Lil’ Ziggy is (over) one year old!

    May 24, 2016 - By 

    So… I’m a few months late with this post. I’ve had it in the works for a while, but as I explained in my last post, sometimes things just get in the way. But I like to think that the blogging world runs on its own timeline. So lets pretend, for a moment, that Lil’ Ziggy really JUST turned one. This really was the craziest, most different, difficult, trying, confusing year of my life. And yet, it was in many ways the best year of my life too. It all began in the late afternoon of March 8, when my…

    Baby Update: Lil’ Ziggy is 11 months old!

    February 10, 2016 - By 

    Ack! Can it be? Are we almost at a whole year of Lil’ Ziggy on the outside? Hard to believe, I know. But here we are, at 11 months, and so much has happened since my last baby update. So I’ll just get right to it! The above picture was taking at a local park yesterday, where Lil’ Ziggy sat in the baby swing for the first time! He wasn’t super impressed until I started pushing him a little harder. We may have a daredevil on our hands…. Clapping hands As you may remember from my 10 month baby update,…

    Baby Update – Lil’ Ziggy is 10 Months Old!

    January 10, 2016 - By 

    Lil’ Ziggy and I are in Ontario visiting family and friends this month, but I thought I’d get an update out as my little man turns 10 months old today! He is growing into such a sweet, good-natured and funny baby who makes me laugh all day long. You know, I always thought I’d be better with really young babies as opposed to toddlers, but I am finding myself enjoying him more and more as he grows older. I guess it’s just becoming more fun to be his mommy now that he plays and interacts with his surroundings. Survived the…

    Baby Update – Lil’ Ziggy is 9 Months Old!

    December 8, 2015 - By 

    Geez, I was hoping to have posted a little more this past month, but every time I started to write, I either encountered writers block, or I got distracted with something else. I didn’t really even think there was much to update on this month anyway, at first. Lil’ Ziggy grew and changed in so many big ways in the first several months of his life, and while he’s definitely still growing, he seems to have slowed down in the sense of larger achievements and milestones. But after reading about his age group on Baby Centre, I realized that he…

    Baby Update – Lil’ Ziggy is Eight Months Old!

    November 11, 2015 - By 

    This is just a quick little update, as Lil’ Ziggy has slowed down on the major milestones this month, it would appear. Don’t get me wrong, we had a great month. We went to the zoo a bunch of times, explored Calgary’s many malls and parks, and celebrated our little boy’s first Halloween. But in terms of Ziggy’s growth or change, here are the biggest ones… Lil’ Ziggy finally popped his first tooth! That’s right! A couple of months ago, I reported that Lil’ Ziggy had apparently begun “teething”. He had a bump on his gum, but it was in…
