EssKress: April 2013
http://esskress.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 11, 2013. 3/4 of a Year! We are totally digging the warmer weather, cute dresses, walks/stroller rides, being outside in general, abundant sunshine, sleeping with the windows open, ocassional rain showers and thunder, driving with the windows down, etc., etc! Maya absolutely loves being outside and I think this summer is going to be a lot of fun. I see some trips to the park in our near future. Mommy: Maya, say "mama". Mommy: Say, "mama," Maya. Mommy: Say, "mama". She'll bang on the coffe...

EssKress: March 2013
http://esskress.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 25, 2013. This post is totally spontaneous and a little out of the norm for me, perhaps a little more serious than usual, but I’m hoping for some feedback and maybe a little comfort. Even if it’s just a very honest reply that I’m nuts. Do you know what’s scary? The fact that we live in a world where I am afraid to answer my front door in the middle of the day. And 3) save money by eating leftovers instead of going out to eat for lunch every day. This isn’t totally abnormal. Had the door bee...

EssKress: July 2012
http://esskress.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 26, 2012. On July 10, Dan and I brought the newest, most precious member of our family into the world: Maya Rose. It has taken me too long to get this blog typed, but I have been kinda busy! I'll attempt to summarize my thoughts and experiences thus far into this blog. 1 Childbirth was not as scary as I thought it was going to be. While it was painful, I think it helped me when it came time to push. I labored until about 9 am and then it was time to push! 2 Breastfeeding is hard. There's n...

EssKress: September 2013
http://esskress.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 22, 2013. Last I wrote, I "couldn't wait" to update you with a regular monthly update. That would have been the 12 months update. Well, apparently, I. Wait because here we are and the Maya bear is now 14 1/2 months old. Oh, hello, life! Nice of you to get all crazy on us. We have been going NON-STOP since July 10th. I took my dance team to camp (me 18 high school girls 1 college campus 4 days = exhausting! 30 and cannot keep up with those teeny-boppers anymore! Psshh Girl had Cheerios a...

snacks & the city: October 2009
http://jennyslagor.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 25, 2009. I am currently reading Retarded Isn't Stupid, Mom! By Sandra Kaufman for my grad class. I highly recommend it. I think it is an honest presentation of raising a child with a disability in the 60s and 70s and the fight that it takes each day to make the world more inclusive, accepting, and compassionate. I have been inspired and hope that you will be as well. Martha and Me Cookie 8 of 175. Cookie: Chocolate Waffle Cookies. To: Mom and Dad. Special Location: Amfahr kitchen. While ...

EssKress: August 2012
http://esskress.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 15, 2012. Maya is one month old already! Actually, 5 weeks and a day. So I'm late in writing a blog. What else is new? We've been busy. At least that's how it feels when everything takes 7 times longer to do! Maya's one month check up went really well. We got our questions answered and found out she's gained almost 2 pounds since birth and grown an inch. She's starting to outgrow some of her newborn clothes and we've moved up to size 1 diapers. Big time stuff, guys! After Maya's one-mon...

EssKress: November 2012
http://esskress.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 23, 2012. Christmas Card: The Outtakes. We attempted to do our own Christmas photo shoot last weekend. Im no pro, but I do love taking pictures and found some ideas on Pinterest that I wanted to try. It was fun and I think we got some good shots at the mercy of acting like complete idiots to make our daughter crack a smile. Saturday, November 17, 2012. Yet another month has come and gone and we find our baby girl is already 4 months old. Hands always in the mouth. She experienced her f...

EssKress: ONE!
http://esskress.blogspot.com/2013/07/one.html
Wednesday, July 10, 2013. Our baby girl is one year old TODAY! I took the day off work today to celebrate with her and it has been a wonderful day! I am a little sad that she is already one, but it has definitely been a fun year, filled with a lot of firsts, laughter and amazement. We had her party this past weekend and our theme was from the Disney Pixar movie "UP! Ones to share later. I didn't get an "after" shot, but it was full! Maya did awesome with her 1st birthday cake. My mom made it and that...

EssKress: February 2013
http://esskress.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 10, 2013. I have a 7 month old. Holy cow. The biggest development is probably that this funny girl has learned to blow raspberries. And blow raspberries she does! She will go on for 1/2 hour, slinging drool everywhere. The funniest part is the face she makes when doing it. She cracks us up! You can see a video of her blowing raspberries here. Still no "mama" or "dada". We're waiting impatiently. :). So, so squirmy! What will this coming month have in store! Saturday, February 2, 2013.
