dinner time

Brandon eats baby food once a day now. And he takes control.  He grabs the spoon, eats his bib.   And gets just as messy as humanly possible. Probaby so he can get a bath afterwards. 

Red October

In our front yard, we have these bushes:  They have thorns and always prick me while I'm weeding. They grow like crazy and require a lot of trimming. I've already pulled two of them out; one day, the rest. But for about two weeks every fall, they turn bright red and begin to shed their... Continue Reading →

a new season

Week one of my new job completed. I am healthier and happier already. I come home at lunch and make myself something hot to eat on the chilly fall days. I have started a book and a puzzle again. I am not completely stressed out and frustrated. I get to sleep in later and spend... Continue Reading →

Brandon eats baby food now. I got him to eat a whole container of carrots the other day. It all starts on his spoon, then goes into his mouth, onto his chin, onto his bib, then back into his mouth. He is a rolling over fool. He rolled over six consecutive times today. He rolls... Continue Reading →

sputtering

Brandon has begun making motor sounds with his mouth. He thinks it's hilarious. He spits and sputters all over the place.   Sometimes I let Steve think Brandon is a daddy's boy. Sometimes. We have one smiley, happy baby. We have nothing to complain about. Except my ingrown toenails and possible thyroid problem and two-week... Continue Reading →
