AND First Dunk.
Here’s the other key part: the first two dunks! They say that if you blow in your baby’s face, he’ll hold his breath for dunking. It worked for us. It was darn cute! I was so proud of how E took to this whole pool thing like a PRO. I think it’s because Daddy pours…
Reader Discretion Advised
Check out what we saw today while we were out. (We didn’t actually take this picture – the “accessory” we saw was silver.)
Baby Milestones and Inevitable Comparisons
Had a mom-date today with a friend of mine and her son, who is a month younger than E. It was a fun day – watching them interact was fascinating, just trying to imagine what they’re thinking. That being said, it was impossible not to compare the two blond, blue-eyed little boys. Baby L, although…
From the Pages of Mini-Di: “Minimal Attributes for Guys”
As I think I’ve mentioned, I used to be a prolific diary-writer. I had journals in all sizes, mostly supplied by my dad, and wrote oodles about everything, from the very shallow to the almost-philosophical. Sometimes I look through these volumes (29 and counting, plus supplementary quasi-journals) and am amazed/embarrassed/taken aback/reduced to tears of laughter…
My Laminated List, Part II
This is all tougher than I thought. Once I finished Part I, I thought of some additions I should make – ones I can’t believe I forgot about. Also, there was a question in the comments I had to answer… so I had to go back and amend. Then I started Part II, and realized…
LOL Cats and Other Critters
I got this email from a friend with a whole slew of photos, and it made me laugh until I was wiping tears from my eyes. I just had to share a few – my top six.
My Laminated List, Part I
Today, while eating dinner, we were watching Knocked Up, starring Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl. We were commenting – Sean, Auntie Em, and I – on Katherine’s gorgeousness, and Sean mentioned, “Yeah, she might be on my list.” So I think it’s time to get this one out in the open. The “laminated list” from…
Ten Months Old
Dear E, Today you are ten months old! You weigh 19.4 pounds and you are 29 inches long. You have eight teeth, that we know of. You are also the VERY BEST BABY that we know of. This has been an exciting month: you are so proficient at your army crawl that you have no…
The Easter Turtle
On our way to my parents’ house on Easter, we had a little adventure. Here is what we saw on the side of the road, fixin’ to cross: It looks small in the photo, but this was definitely one of the bigger turtles I’ve seen alive. (Not that I’ve seen nearly enough turtles for my…
