Ian Mac is 5 months old. This month has been quite busy. He’s able to sit up on his own (propped up on his hands) for several minutes at a time and can roll back to tummy fairly reliably. He’s rolling tummy to back less often, but I have seen it happen! We’ve been working […]
Ian’s Four Month Update
At his 4 month well baby check, Ian weighed in at 16 lbs. 12 oz. and measured 24.5″ long. He’s wearing 9 and 12 month clothes these days–with the 9 month outfits having a Hulk-like fit–which makes me unbelievably sad walking into a baby section at the store and realizing Ian can’t fit into half […]
Ian’s Three Month Update
Ian Mac is 3 months old! This month’s big achievements include learning how to laugh and getting better at pushing his upper body off the ground during tummy time. We also got a week-and-a-half of sleeping all the way through the night, 10-12 hours/night, but then he added back a night wake-up…then another. At this […]
Ian’s Two Month Update

Blowing raspberries, blubbing his numerous chins, showing him his reflection in the mirror, and singing to him are all great ways to get big smiles, although the […]

After Isla was born, I struggled a lot with what had happened during her birth. In addition to the fact that everything ended in an emergency c-section, which is a scary situation absolutely no one wants to experience, I felt like I’d been bullied, manipulated, and generally treated poorly by medical staff over the course […]
Ian’s One Month Update
Ian Mac is officially one month old! Ian has been a very sleepy newborn, but in the last week or so, he’s started to wake up a bit. We’re getting longer alert periods, and he’s getting much better at tracking people when they talk and making good eye contact. No social smiles yet, although lots […]
Ian’s Birth Story
I’m excited to announce that our baby boy is here, and while his birth wasn’t all smooth sailing, we have a healthy little guy and a very happy, healthy mama. As I mentioned in my 40 week update, Braxton-Hicks had started ramping up toward the end of week 39. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night all […]
