My fingers are crossed that everything is getting back to normal around here.
Alex has slept through the night two nights in a row. After the time change, being sick, and teething, the last few weeks have been rough. I have no clue how I made it through eight months of him waking up multiple times [...]

It’s been a hard six weeks. Not being able to load pictures onto my computer has been unfortunate because not only could I not share any pictures, but also I was not taking as many.
Here is a small sample of the past six weeks:
Alex discovered that pushing around real life objects is way more [...]

Alex’s new favorite word is “up” and he says it all. the. time. He wants someone to pick him up, he wants something that is too high up for him to reach, he wants you to look at something that is above his head. “Up. Up. Up!”
With the horrendous teething that is occurring right now, [...]

I have never been more impressed with bloggers who post every day regularly.
It’s not that I necessarily don’t have a lot that I want to write about, it’s that I want to mostly focus my blog on my family and occasional odd situations I encounter. It would probably make sense for me to find another [...]

I just finished baking the last batch of cookies for the Burgh Mom Cookie Swap. There are about 180 cookies in all. Do you know how long it takes to bake 180 cookies? A long time, let me tell you. And it was a long time having to smell deliciousness emanating from the kitchen [...]

My little boy looks like a little boy again. Even though he had to wear pink while he got his hair cut.

It’s official. The plague has swept through our house.
First, Alex was sick for about two weeks. The first few days of the illness included no sleep, constant nose drainage, lots of coughing, and perpetual clinginess. After that he was only mildly clingy and had a nose that wouldn’t stop running.
Next, Zach got ill. He had [...]

I'm Allison Barton, a 22-year old new mother and student. I'm highly literal, occasionally moody, obsessed with Burt's Bees and compulsive about spreading butter perfectly onto toast. I am a wanna-be-Geek, loving all things Apple, and I hate competing with my friends. I am immensely loyal, not fastidious, and love to cook.
This is me:
I live with my wonderful partner, Zach, and our beautiful baby boy, Alexander. Alex was born on August 28, 2007. He is the most amazing little person that I could have ever imagined knowing. Zach is a software engineer and hopes Alex will love computers as much as he does. We live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
This is my family:
Aren't they adorable?
