The kid’s imagination is astounding and I am probably more proud of this than any other milestone to date. Smiling was awesome. And yes, I got really excited about walking. But, IMAGINATION!
Holy cow has the kid taken the concept and run with it.
It began a while ago - last summer even - when he started [...]
“It’s not in there.”
At least that’s what I think Chelsea told me. I will have to check. Bad momma - need to dust off that mental scrapbook and start using that sucker for important details like this!
It’s been a hectic week here, what with the speeding ticket* I got; the proof of insurance and current [...]
So, I promised to talk golf, when I brought up H’s latest obsession. So, here it is.
Marc’s parents were here last month. Grandpa, the committed golfer, has long grumbled about our lack of cable. He has a weekend routine that he needs to keep, which includes watching sleeping through golf coverage on TV each afternoon. [...]
First it was football. Then came the drums. Then golf and although the kid still enjoys to whack the little white ball around (photos and stories still to come), that phase was short-lived and mild compared to this.
This video was taken on day two of the kid learning to ride a real skateboard. He’s pretty [...]
From the moment we found out that our kid was growing inside my belly, I have imagined myself as a “Momma”. Which is, in my mind, an entirely different word from “Ma Ma” - the common few syllables first pronounced by babies. I never thought of myself as a “Mommy” - especially as spoken by [...]
We have started to let the kid watch a bit of TV (or “TEEEEDEEEEEE!” - rather) now and then. I know - that along with breakfast-cake - means that pretty much all of our parental goals have gone the way of last weeks recycling. We had a great 18-month run, but, it had to end [...]
This post has been a long time coming.
Once upon a time - almost three months ago which in toddler-development-time is like three hundred years - I started to write…
At H’s 18-month doc appointment three weeks months ago, I knew it was coming - the dreaded question - and was prepared with the canned answer I [...]
While FUBALLLLLL is still firmly implanted in the kid’s brain as a worthy activity, a new one followed as an even longer lasting obsession.
Elizabeth and her boyfriend Dave took H to the Children’s Museum where they discovered his apparent talent and love of every parents worst nightmare.
Apparently he stayed and played the drums for over [...]
The kid is 18-months-old tomorrow. I am flabbergasted. The last six months flew by like Christmas morning for a 10-year-old. While the first year was more like that 8am Biology course I took the first semester of my freshman year at college. Whoever believed I would be able to wake-up at that ungodly hour and [...]
I can’t remember if I posted about this, but, the kid now says Ta-Da.
Not a huge deal - it’s a pretty easy phrase - two syllables that he’s been saying for a while. But, it’s HOW he says it that makes it so irresistibly cute. First of all it’s much higher pitched than almost any [...]
