I’m pretty sure I just spent more time packing for our trip than we’ll actually be gone for…it seems like it’s taken all week! I guess it’s just because I can only do things in bits and pieces while Carrie is sleeping. I can no longer step out of the living room for just a [...]
Looks like Carrie has caught the knitting bug early! It’s so very helpful of her to hold my yarn for me and drool all over it… Although, she was pretty cute with it. At first she just held the strand of yarn I was working with, but then she realized there was a whole ball [...]
I bought some jarred baby food this afternoon so that I wouldn’t have to figure out how to keep the homemade stuff frozen during our upcoming trip to NYC. I also bought extra jars of peas because I wasn’t happy with how the ones I made came out and I wanted to start Carrie on [...]
I am so close to finishing Carrie’s poncho. As in three rows away, plus the neckband. The problem? Those last few rows require a smaller set of needles than the body. And those needles are…buried in my craft room somewhere. And they’re not the sort of needles you can just go buy at Michael’s or [...]
I don’t really know where the week went, but it feels like it took forever to get to the weekend! Carrie had her first fever yesterday (no other symptoms and gone today – maybe teething related?) so pretty much all of yesterday was spent cuddling my poor little girl, and today I cleaned house. There’s [...]
We went to see the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie yesterday afternoon while my parents watched Carrie. I did enjoy the movie, although it deviated from the book quite a bit. (Plus my memory of the book is kind of fuzzy, so I had a hard time figuring out what was different and what [...]
Carrie started pulling up this afternoon. She crawled over to my parents’ coffee table, put her hands on the top, and ended up on her feet. She was quite pleased with this new perspective. Now, in addition to all the other general baby-proofing we need to finish, we’re going to have to start securing things [...]
Being a mom is everything I didn’t expect. I expected to love my daughter. I didn’t expect how much I would love her. I didn’t expect how much I would worry. I didn’t expect how much it would make me cry for other mothers and babies in trouble, for the sorry state of the world [...]
1. Lay baby on changing table. 2. Roll baby who has immediately flipped onto her stomach back onto her back. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until baby stays on her back for more than 3 milliseconds. 4. Hand baby toy to try to keep her still. 5. Retrieve baby who is trying to climb [...]
This evening Miss Carolyn accompanied me to Sit & Knit, while Denis was out at a business dinner. (At the Dinosaur Barbeque. Lucky guy!) Anyway, Carrie was really good while we were out. I set up her booster chair and gave her some toys to play with. She tested gravity the entire time, so I [...]
