This week’s goal is to get Susanna to take a bottle–I learned my lesson with Elizabeth, who waited too long to be introduced and then resisted for months until Laura finally wore her down and got her to take one. We have so much travel happening this summer that I absolutely have to be able […]
Well, with the umbilical cord completely off and the 8 lb mark having been passed, Susanna was ready to start into the wonderful world of cloth diapers this weekend! Diapering for free…it’s a beautiful thing… For something the opposite of beautiful, check out Tommy’s hair. I will never attempt to cut it while having contractions […]

Took Susanna in for her 2 week check-up today. Height: 21 inches Weight: 8 lbs 4 oz Head: 36 cm Everything looked good, and she’s gained about an ounce a day so far. In general, the people who said the transition from 2-3 is easier than 1-2 kids were right. Having three kids in the […]

Elizabeth loved the extra attention, especially since I decided to paint her toenails to match mine. That, combined with new “slip-slops,” made her day!

We’re big on the importance of names, and Susanna Helen is named after three specific people, with several additional good associations. Susanna was the name of my Great-Grandma Churchill, who went by Susie. My first doll (given to me by Peter when he was born) was named Susie, so I guess I’ve been fond of […]
Susanna thoughtfully predicted that Tommy and Elizabeth might have a bit of trouble adjusting to sharing Mommy and Daddy with another sibling. So she gave them puppy sleeping bags when they came to meet her in the hospital. Chester and Cherry were a big hit, and they’ll get a lot of use this summer as […]
