Last Tuesday, Baby Nate and Mommy boarded CalTrain for the first time. When we kissed Jacob goodbye at the curb he was wailing, “I want go on choo choo train, I want go on choo choo train!” But then switched to “I want Baby Nake, Baby Nake!” all the way to…
We ask Jacob a lot of questions. We get the same answer to many of them. I thought I’d put together a quick FAQ. Here are a smattering of the latest and most frequent replies: Q: Jakey, what color is that (doggie, elephant, guitar, banana)? A: (Without hesitation) Breen. (Green.) One…
Yesterday Natesy laughed for the first time. First when Daddy was giving him kisses, and then later on when Mommy was giving him kisses. Most people don’t like being laughed at when they go in for a smooch, but we don’t mind one bit.
My friend Kristen loves to read Us magazine. Unfortunately I’ve ruined one standing feature for her which is the “Stars– They’re Just Like Us!” page.

Jake loves being a lion… or yi-yon as he puts it. More on lions sometime in the near future. This is an important detail as I relay one of James’ latest stories. A few weeks ago we were bicuspid deep in our ten day biting phase. James picked Jake up at school and…

If Jakey says something to you that sounds like “paintballing,” he’s actually referencing his favorite hobby outside of catching butterflies and fishing poles… and that hobby is: skateboarding. He asks me to leave his socks on so he can slip around on the hardwood floors, “Skateboarding, Mama. Skateboarding.” He says Miss…
Every day I like to ask Jake what he ate for lunch at school. Sometimes I mix it up and inquire about what was on the menu for breakfast. I always get the same answer: “Ummm, baaanaaanaaas, coookies…”

I can hardly believe today was Baby Nate’s and my last day together… just us. No schedule. No chores. No lists. We just went about our business… Hot tea and the Today Show (sorry Meredith, we won’t miss you), Oller Brothers, Home Depot, soccer jersey drop-offs, dry cleaning pick-up, Buy…
