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 keep thinking Alex has new words, but then I can’t get him to say them again. Or at least not around anyone else, so then I have to question my sanity. (”Can he really say it? Or am I just imagining that he is?”)
He says “keys” but it sounds much more like “gis.”
He says [...]

While prepping the grill the other night to make burgers, we had a few visitors. There were four or five little creepy-crawly-hard-shelled things hanging out on top of the grill, and a few more on the porch and between the screen and door. More importantly, there was a nice big praying mantis just holding onto [...]

Zach, Alex and I went to another Burgh Mom get together. This time it was family-friendly and hosted at the lovely Kim’s abode. The kids were all able to run around (Zach played “baseball” for a good two hours with Kim’s hilarious 3 year old son, Oliver), the parents were able to chat, and we [...]

Evan took this picture with his iPhone last week:
I love it! My two handsome boys, cuddling. (Alex is not a cuddly boy, so getting a picture of one of those two-second intervals where he decides he loves you is awesome.)

Because of the amazingness that was the ‘burgh mommy blogger meet-up, Zach and I have found a place to move! Kim is letting us rent her house that is on the market!
Pretty sweet, huh?
I can’t wait to move in. It’s bigger than our current place, and Zach will have what he refers to as a [...]

Californ-i-a, here we don’t come. Sorry.
Short story: Zach got the same job offer here in Pittsburgh that he had received in Mountain View. Same company, same benefits, cheaper location. The decision was hard, but I think we made the right one.
I have mixed feelings about this. I’m excited to be staying, but sad to missing [...]
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?
