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 →

Being older when having children isn't all bad - we're more fiscally responsible and stable... Continue Reading →
on the move
Baby on the move! He can't get far, but he can move from where you last placed him. No more leaving him on the changing table while I grab his socks, I suppose. Not long until he'll be crawling! He rolls over from stomach to back (as you saw on last week's video) and back... Continue Reading →
roll over
One of the saddest parts of enrolling Brandon in daycare was the thought of his milestones occurring there, without me to witness them. I begged him to save all the firsts for evenings and weekends when I was there to see him. I tried to force him to roll over at two and a half... Continue Reading →
