I have a minor head cold. Not bad enough to medicate, but just enough to make me sniffle. My dad is officially a bionic man. He had a mini defibrillator installed inserted today to keep him on the straight and narrow. And it sounds like open heart surgery won’t be necessary in the near future, [...]
Yesterday I opened the front door to hear Jon saying “You’re going to be in trouble now. Mommy’s home.” And what did I see when I followed the sound of his voice and Tom’s shouts? A certain baby I know, standing in a chair, bouncing happily on the balls of his feet. When Jon reminded [...]

Tom just figured out [...]

You certainly keep us entertained with baby babble that sounds increasingly like real words and sentences. You say something that sounds like “hi” when presented with a cell phone and use “ma ma” quite [...]
22 pounds, 6 ounces — 31 inches tall — wears 18 month clothing and size 4 diapers — still needs extra absorbent overnight diapers — slept through most of his second road trip to Michigan — cruises quickly and confidently — waves hello and goodbye sporadically — climbs onto toys and furniture — loves his [...]
Darn. I missed a week while were unexpectedly out of town, but I’ll try to keep this to ten thoughts, all the same. Road trips don’t just seem longer with a baby, they actually are longer. Our emergency road trip to Michigan has meant putting off all of those little tidying jobs I mentioned in [...]
