2012 in Review

I jumped on the bandwagon and decided to write a post about 2012.  It was a busy one for us. 

I started out the year pregnant and wrote a couple pregnancy updates.  We finally finished his nursery and did a big ole reveal post.  We welcomed our little bundle of joy on January 9th and eventually I wrote up his birth story.  

Come February I was exhausted with a newborn and posts were scarce.  I did manage a one month update.  I also documented a day in my life with a one month old.  Exhausting.  I posted about our newborn essentials and my first post baby run.  Painful. 

March was busy for us.  Reid turned two months old.  I wrote a post about my experiences with breastfeeding to date.   We spent time with my family in NY.  

We celebrated Reid's first Easter this year.   Reid turned three months old.  Reid watched his first Phillies game at home with us.  I also documented my day with a three month old.

Aunt Kerrie took our first family pictures.  We took Reid to his first Phillies game.  I talked about pumping and celebrated my first Mother's Day.  Reid and I made a gift for Grandma on Mother's Day.  We dressed up for Aunt Kerrie's Master's Graduation.    Reid turned 4 months old and I wrote about my day with a 4 month old. 

I went back to work at the end of May and Reid started daycare.  I showed you how I get Reid to smile for pictures.  We also had our first sick day for Reid.  Come June and Reid turned 5 months old.  Reid picked me my first flowers.  I talked more about my boobs and milk making.

Over the summer, Reid went swimming for the first time.  He turned 6 months.  We also took Reid to the zoo for the first time.  Reid also started drinking from a sippy cup.

I started August overwhelmed, exhausted and so tired.  I talked about making baby food.  Reid turned 7 months old and I documented my day with a 7 month old.  We took our first trip to the ER and a few days later Reid was hospitalized for two nights for the first time (and hopefully the last).      

Reid turned 8 months old and I talked about entertaining a baby in the hospital.

We went pumpkin picking and Reid turned 9 months old.  I wrote about his diagnosis of AutoImmune Neutropenia.  We also retired 9 things that my 9 month old no longer uses.  I went a pinterest-y and made my Homemade Laundry Soap.  I finally made a facebook page.  I talked about my boobs again in How to Build a Freezer Stash and Tips for the Breastfeeding/Working Mom.

We celebrated Halloween with a series of posts.  Reid had his first ride in the baby swings at the park.  Reid turned 10 months old.  I talked about traveling for work again and got a little crafty my making a wreath for the door.  I also talked about planning a party for Reid's first Birthday.   We made some Thanksgiving/Fall crafts.

We ended the year by having a photo shoot for our Christmas Card.  I also posted about how we set up for the Twinkle Light Pictures and lots of funny outtakes.   Reid turned 11 months old as we geared up for Christmas by decorating the house.   We made a Christmas Frame for gifts this year along with a Christmas Tree Foot Print.

I finished the year by yet again talking about my boobs and my decision to quit pumping at work and making a few goals for 2013.
