Got Milk?
I think Carrie knows the sign for milk. Last night she woke up crying, and while I was trying to settle her back down she seemed to be signing “milk”, so I picked her up and fed her. Then this morning she started signing “milk” first thing, but I needed to change her [...]

First Word?
Carrie may have said her first word today. My mom and I were out for lunch with her, and the people at the next table over said “hi” to Carrie, and she said something approximating “hi” back to them. Several times. It was somewhere between “hah” and “hi”, and she’s done it [...]

Pumpkin Brownies!
Because, of course, when it’s 95° outside, you’re going to want to turn the oven on and bake something.
We invited my family over for dinner tonight, and we happened to have some canned pumpkin on the table that hadn’t made it’s way down to the pantry yet. After a little discussion about what we [...]

Stupid Little Pet Peeve
I know it’s just coloring - annatto, I think - but I really prefer “white” cheese to “yellow” cheese. And generally I have a choice. But lately I’ve been buying cheese made with 2% milk, and it only comes in a weird orangey-yellow color. I just think it looks unnatural, and it [...]

You’re very confident about pulling up on things now. You [...]

D-A-D-D-Y Spells Daddy!
Among other little goodies, Carrie and I gave Denis this for his first “official” Father’s Day:
(Click for a bigger image.)
I had the pictures printed separately, wallet-sized, and then put them in a hinged black metal frame. It came out so well I wanted to give it to him early! I did two photo-shoots [...]

Why Am I Still Awake?
Because I’m an idiot, that’s why. The resident alarm clock will be going off at her usual time - around 6:30, 7:00 if I’m lucky, 5:30 if I’m not - and she doesn’t have a snooze button. My excuse? I had to wait up for the first load of laundry to finish [...]

Clap Hands!
Yesterday Carrie started doing two new fun things: clapping hands and beeping noses. Now if I could just get her to stop grabbing my glasses after she beeps my nose, that would be a neat trick.
Apparently, the dogs just finally noticed that Carrie is a two-legged creature. She pulled up on the gate [...]
