I got way behind on updating this which is too bad because Adrian’s growth has been incredible. So we’ll do a flyby. 13 months Luckily I took a few notes – At 13 months he had a whole list of words he was already saying. It was at 13 months that we also discovered Adrian’s… Continue reading Year 2
One Year Old!
Our little guy is a baby no more! He turned officially one on June 16th. Adrian did have an unfortunate but unforgettable birthday. We were mid-family cruise when he got very sick and we spent the night plying him with Tylenol to keep his fever under 102F. On the day of his birthday he tested… Continue reading One Year Old!

Adrian’s First Christmas
This post is late but life with a little one gets hectic. I wanted to be sure we included pictures of Adrian’s first Christmas.

Adrian’s First Sinterklaas
After two years of canceled trips and dashed plans, we finally made it to the Netherlands to see Ramon’s family and introduce them to Adrian. While the country was locked down, we couldn’t do much outside the house which was fine because it was priceless to visit our Dutch friends and family. One of the… Continue reading Adrian’s First Sinterklaas
