Jordan and Crystal’s family went with Kathryn and Grandmother to Disneyland a few weeks ago, and as we heard talk of warm weather and a getaway, we Monsons got a little stir-crazy and decided we needed to get away for a bit as well. However, we didn’t go quite as far. The day after St. […]

I found a cool site that encourages good morning routines for moms and I have really enjoyed it so far! Feel free to check it out! http://inspiredtoaction.com/resources/hellomornings/

Fay is now 9.5 months based on her birthday and 8 months based on her due-date.  She has yet to crawl, but we’re pretty sure that is because she is far too excited about walking. She will walk anywhere as long as she’s got someone or something to hold on to! Her favorite food is […]

For the past several weeks, we haven’t had internet at our house neither have I had much time to do things, and so we have been remiss in giving you all updates on our exciting life (aka: baby). I will now proceed to update you! Fay is now two months or nine weeks old. She […]

Fay is doing exceptionally well. She has a reputation in the NICU as being “too cute to handle”. She has been doing very well with her feedings and is being fed three times a day. There have been a few times, including last night, when she ate so much from Elisabeth that she didn’t need […]
