Hey Samuel, You’ve grown up to be such a big 2-year old boy!  I’m so proud of you.  I am excited to share one of my favorite books with you.  It’s so special to me because when I was a little boy, I would always remind myself “Life doesn’t frighten me at all,” and seeing [...]

Project Life is awesome. Even with holes here and there, it is still so dang awesome. I love using it to document our daily life with Samuel.  Each entry is written to him — so that when he has his own kids (or when he’s old and gray), he can look back and see and [...]

My boy, my boy, my boy. You are one year old today. Oh, how you’ve grown. You are learning things so quickly.  Crawling.  Cruising.  Bouncing.  Banging on walls, doors, windows, cabinets to explore a variety of sounds.  Playing “Where is Samuel?”  Pulling yourself up and down so easily.  You are so cautious — being careful [...]

We celebrated Samuel’s first birthday with a rocket-themed party this afternoon.  Pictures to come soon. A month ago, I asked my uber-talented brother to put together a slide show or video for Samuel’s first birthday.  This is what he came up with … Happy First Birthday, Samuel! from Autumn Nguyen on Vimeo. We shared it [...]

is always on the move.  And he moves fast. is almost 11 months old. wants to open every single cabinet in the house. loves to take things out.  And then put them back in — well, just what he wants to put back in. is trying to figure out how to open the cabinet underneath [...]

On February 7, 2011 we welcomed our son, Samuel, and have been captivated by his huge brown eyes and gorgeous smile ever since.  We celebrated many firsts – first successful diaper change (where we didn’t end up getting sprayed), first bath, first smile, first laugh, first roll, first time eating solids, and first clap.  We [...]

1) Winter break officially started at 12:45 pm on Friday.  Yay. 2) I am a bit behind in documenting December Daily.  I am having to make a few last minute gifts so there isn’t much time to update December Daily. 3) I am doing my best to get caught up.  Here’s a peek at what [...]

Samuel turned 10 months today — that’s two months away from being a year!!  Oh, my!  Where did the time go? Because it is my little man’s 10-month birthday (and since it is his first holiday season), I thought it was appropriate to devote a page to him.  Here’s a look at Day 7. Journaling [...]

Happy 10 months, my boy! Energetic.  Funny.  Spunky.  Adorable.  Cute.  Happy.  Curious.  Lean.  Long.  Strong.  Impatient (when it comes to food).  Sweet.  Loving. My life is richer, busier, messier, funner, and fuller with you. Thank you for reminding me to slow down and enjoy the little things.  For reminding me of things that I take [...]

a cute, noisy, curious, mobile boy. a lucky find at the antique fair — an adorable pint-size vinyl rocker for my little rocker. checking out your friend’s toys before having your mama buy you your own. a little brown box.  (I got Ali’s December Daily kit and am excited to work on my foundation pages.)
