Yesterday, E and I, along with Auntie Em and three mom friends of mine and their little ones, went to the pool! It was E’s first time playing in water other than his bath – I know, we’re a bit slow off the mark with this one. Lots of babies E’s age have been to…

CHECK IT OUT!
Take a look at the new project! http://mothergather.com I’m very excited about this, even though there aren’t any stories on it yet. There will be, très bientôt, I promise. I already have five in hand (if you count my own) and many more on the way. The moms who responded were so enthusiastic, it was…
Having a Bad Mom Day
It’s not my proudest day of motherhood today. Not that anything horrible has happened – I’m just off my game. Baby E got to bed late, thanks mostly to my lack of time management today, and this after he had eaten for dinner, among other things, some kidney beans that actually were a little over-funky…
Staying Hydrated
Here’s number 2! I’m getting the hang of this. Sean discovered this technique out of the blue one time and E still enjoys it occasionally. It’s always good to have fun options for drinking. By the way, that’s Raffi I’m singing to at the end there, I haven’t just lost my marbles.

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…
Baby Bits XV
We’ve got a few new and newly honed skills for Baby Bits! What E is doing these days: waving bye-bye like a pro – he can do the open-and-close wave or the arm-shake wave, at appropriate times; extending this skill by combining the arm-wave with his expert finger-point – it ends up looking like he’s…
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…
