Anytime we want a farm-y activity, we visit Butler’s Orchard, which is a cozy 10-min drive. We’ve gone pumpkin picking and our almost-3-yr-old son, J, rode his first pony there. On our unofficial summer bucket list is picking fresh fruit. This past weekend, we picked strawberries and hope to catch the blueberry season before Baby [...]

Saturday afternoon, we put our son, J, who is 6 weeks shy of 3 years old, in Gerber training pants (affiliate link). He wet those pants 2 times, didn’t like it, and has been dry ever since. Even at daycare. And sometimes through 2-hr naps. We are using Pull-Ups (or sleeping underwear/diaper, as well call [...]
Our almost-3-yr-old (J) has been getting along fine Fred-Flintsoning his plastic trike around (photos here). He’s even taken the riding to another level by lifting his feet to coast-down small hills. When there’s a turn at the bottom of the hill, he’ll drift into the turn. When the turn is too fast, he and the [...]

Growing up near Philadelphia, my family and I visited Lancaster in the summer. It was awesome to visit two of my childhood favorites with Alan and our almost-3-yr-old [...]
Haven’t posted anything this week because I’m waiting to download photos from our babymoon to Lancaster over Memorial Day Weekend. That said, what a great time to wrap-up May. Welcome to almost-June and where I might start freaking out that our baby is coming in July . These month-in-review posts let us (Lisa and Alan) [...]
Expandng.com (our last name is "ing", get it?) was started as a way to document Lisa's pregnancy and has since turned into a family and photography blog. We chose a moon & star as part of the blog design because our son loves them. He "twinkles" with his hands and sings "Twinkle Twinkle" with us. Interestingly enough, Cancer (astrological) is "ruled" by the moon, and our son is a Cancer.
