http://kids.averbuj.com The Digital Anna and Alexis Log Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:59:37 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I keep notes about what to write in these posts and I try to keep up the pace of posting monthly about the kids, but my long winded nature makes it the kind of task I postpone until I have a good solid block of time, like on a plane. Anna's ... http://kids.averbuj.com/2008/06/02/our-recent-adventures March has left us and at an alarming speed. It's hard to believe that I've been back at work for a full two weeks and Lexi was born four weeks before then. I think it's fair to say that life with two children has us exhausted. I have previously said ... http://kids.averbuj.com/2008/04/06/our-first-month-with-lexi Today is Anna's 2nd birthday and I also want to update on Alexis and Leigha as well. I'll give Anna's birthday the attention it deserves but I feel compelled to write in chronological order so look for that towards the end. At the hospital on Friday morning we were restless and ... http://kids.averbuj.com/2008/03/01/our-next-chapter Alexis Victoria was born yesterday Feb 20 at 3:12pm weighing 7 lbd 5.5 oz and measuring 19.5" long. The process was interesting in how it differed from Anna's arrival nearly 2 years ago. Like last time we got to the hospital early. Leigha knew what was coming and the two things ... http://kids.averbuj.com/2008/02/21/my-new-neighbor As I type this we are sitting in the labor and delivery room at Fair 0aks hospital. We had an earky start this morning and everything has gone well. The part that we were most worriex about, the epidural, went smashingly and the parts we had forgotten about entirely were ... http://kids.averbuj.com/2008/02/20/my-fate-is-sealed Anna remembers the darndest things, even after surprisingly small exposure. She only rode the merry-go-round at the mall once but when we went back she sure as heck knew what it was. Consider the counter example of how long I've been trying to get her to count to 10. It ... http://kids.averbuj.com/2007/12/02/my-memories It's time for another update! I'm working on getting what little Halloween pictures we took online. Around Halloween the whole family was sick and on the big night Anna was passed out on Leigha before the first trick-or-treaters even came by. The only thing that saved us was that Leigha ... http://kids.averbuj.com/2007/11/22/my-giant-leap It seems a good time to announce more widely that at some point in February our family will grow once more with a new girl. Negotiations are currently underway on the name for the new baby, and the situation is grim. Family insiders report that if an agreement is not ... http://kids.averbuj.com/2007/10/13/my-growing-family Alert readers (reader?) may have noticed that I haven't posted about Anna's vocabulary recently. She's picked up a lot of words, and many she has improved. Her pronounciation of "ucky" is now much closer to "puppy", with actual p's and everything. But the reason I haven't done it is because ... http://kids.averbuj.com/2007/08/05/my-favorite-words Leigha and Renee took Anna to the beach a week ago while I was traveling on business. To be honest, I wasn't expecting it to go super well considering the luck we had when we took her to the beach in Florida. However, apparently it went much better the second ... http://kids.averbuj.com/2007/07/21/my-beach-baby
