June 9: Little Andrew sure has grown some curly hair! Thought I’d give an update on what our little guy is up to this week. While he still prefers the military crawl as his form of transportation, he’s getting his knees under himself a lot more and using them (when he’s on carpeting) to crawl [...]
June 10: We just got back from a really fun birthday party! Last summer, I was lucky enough to meet some wonderful new moms through Happy Bambio’s infant play group. Happy Bambino is a terrific store. I love their staff and their products, but I am so thankful for the resource they gave me as [...]
June 9: When we traveled to Wichita in early April, we had some family photos taken. Ben’s brother, Tim, is a professional photographer. Not only was he kind to do a really fun photo shoot with the Dotzour gang, he also gave us electronic copies of the photos. I’ve narrowed them down as much as [...]
May 25: Andrew is fast transitioning from a 10 month old to a one-year old. It feels like in the last month, Andrew has been on a mad rush to grow up fast! I can barely keep track of all his activities. Here’s a few highlights… While he’s still not really crawling, he’s pulling himself [...]

May 13: You know, it’s one thing to know that your baby can start to move, but it’s quite another thing to see your infant son’s head appear around the corner of the door. I’m so used to having Andrew staying pretty close to where I put him down, but these past few days, Andrew [...]
Hello everyone! Happy Spring! Joe, the wee-est of the Bablers, here again. A little less than a year ago, I asked for your support in my school’s local Relay for Life fundraiser and you were all extremely generous in your financial support of this great cause. Last year, the De Forest community raised over $20,000 [...]
May 5: Mom and Dad drove down to Chicago last night for Mom’s first round of her anti-cancer vaccine. She had a new catscan taken last Friday, and when Dr. Oyama looked at it today, he said she remains cancer free. Yay! I can get used to this news:) Here’s a link to a description [...]
