		<title>Fantastic Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have slowed down on the events during the weekends and it is really nice. This weekend we found a new place to go hiking, tried a different time during the day to go out on our excursion and geocached for the first time in years.
The weather was perfect for hiking with low humidity in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hey Mommy, I&#8217;m Listening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alina is starting to become a functioning being instead of a demanding baby. She was throwing everything off her tray at lunch the other day and I disciplined her (as usual) to not do it adding that she should put anything she is finished with on the table or give it to Mommy. She, of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why?!?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, Aiden has officially entered the &#8220;why&#8221; phase. He doesn&#8217;t just say &#8220;Why?&#8221;, oh no. He asks when he is missing something. For example, he was in the bathroom and I was playing with Alina when I told her, &#8220;No thank you.&#8221; Aiden called from the bathroom, &#8220;Why did you say No thank you to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Number 8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, Alina has finally gotten all 8 of her front teeth. We thought she would have them by her first birthday, like her brother, but it&#8217;s not that much later.

		<title>Poor Obama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were on our way to the grocery store the other day when Aiden noticed the road we were driving on was very bumpy. You see, the roads in Princeton are basically designed for the SUVs that everyone owns to make them feel as if they are driving off road. So, this is the conversation [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beana!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One year ago today at this very moment I was prepped and getting ready to be wheeled into the room where the most wonderful and scary thing happened. The baby I had been carrying for almost 9 months was about to be born. I was scared because I had never had a c-section before and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leaps and Bounds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alina is really kicking it up a notch regarding her development. Today she said her first real word (besides &#8220;Mama&#8221; and &#8220;Dada&#8221;) which was &#8220;Banana.&#8221; She has also been taking steps on her own. She cracks me up because she has been doing a downward facing dog and then standing up for a month or [...]]]></description>
