Wow! 14 months old! Honest-to-goodness toddlers, that’s for sure. Daniel is getting a bit better at walking every day, though still mostly crawls. Rebecca was trying to imitate more words yesterday, and attempted to both sign and say “duck,” which I must say she did pretty well! Mini-tantrums and skipped naps aside, this is a [...]

Our House (in the middle of our yard)
Alright, so I know you all remember the saga of the birthday present my mom wanted to get for the kids, right? Well, she would not be swayed, and was dead-set on this being their present. So she finally ordered it online, shipping charges be damned, and it arrived about a week or so ago. [...]

I just don’t want it that badly
Oy, what an afternoon.
So, obviously the kiddos had a birthday recently. My mom wanted to get them a good present, and decided on this outdoor playhouse. Looks like fun, durable, good for a number of years. Great gift.
Except, she lives 1,000 miles away from us. So, she figured she’d order it online and have it [...]

Twelve-month stats
This morning was our 12-month well-baby appointment. Thankfully, M was able to come with me, since it involved two shots and a finger stick (plus, you know, two wriggly babies missing their morning nap). Both are doing well, though neither gained as much weight as I might have guessed (both were up about a pound [...]

Trip Recap, Part 4 – The Family Reunion
I swear, this is the last trip recap you’ll hear! I know, it’s fascinating…. but I wanted to record it for posterity before I completely forget and there’s a million other things to write about.
Anyways, the final weekend of the big trip to the Midwest involved a two-hour drive to sorta-Central Illinois for my dad’s [...]

Birthday Countdown – Month 12
July 2008
I blink, and the summer is halfway over. This last month, the kids have become such little people. Though there are no clear or obvious “words,” there’s a lot of talking going on. Different sounds, intonations, expressions. Lots of opinions, lots of thinking and problem-solving. Opening and closing doors, moving that pesky gate that [...]

Birthday Countdown – Month 11
June 2008
Alas, though we stayed in town for all of May, June was not the same. Another crazy-short trip to Florida, this time without the infant carseats, but instead with the Britax and the Travelmate. Now that they’re older, they really have no interest in sitting still for any length of time, so it was [...]

Birthday Countdown – Month 10
May 2008
You know one really good thing about May? We didn’t go anywhere! We stayed in MA for a whole month! Delightful. In the meantime, Rebecca crawled everywhere, including over to Daniel to grab his toy, since he couldn’t follow her. Both kids loved standing more than practically anything. More teeth joined the face, so [...]

Birthday Countdown – Month 9
April 2008
April, already? Yikes. Warm weather, another short trip to Florida. Fabulous new stroller, and M’s first business trip out of town. Rebecca crawled just in time for a short visit from my dad, and got her first teeth. Daniel got two more, the “fangs,” and his first ear infection. Added a third meal of [...]
