…are singing right now! Not only did Carrie sleep from 8:15 to 6:30, but when she woke up she nursed and went right back to sleep and is still sleeping. I’m (almost) a well-rested mama today! I’m already showered, dressed and have a load of laundry in. It’s amazing what a little decent sleep will [...]
Last night, that is. The wind was just whipping around the house, and there was rain (maybe sleet?) pounding against the windows – for the whole night. Want to know how I know? Carrie was up every hour, for at least a half hour, from 1:30 to about 5. This is the second night in [...]
D’oh! I just realized that the link on the sidebar to our Barktober Fest sponsor page was wrong! And there are only 4 days left before the walk. If anyone tried to sponsor us and couldn’t get to the page, sorry…and please try again. Thanks!
I think we have an official first word! Today Carolyn demonstrated that not only does she know how to say “llama”, but she knows exactly what it means. If I show her the llama, she’ll say “llama”; if I ask her to find her llama, she’ll go and pick it up. If you click on [...]
Today Carrie and I went to a baby shower. She has met Nina (the guest of honor) once before, about 6 months ago. And although Carrie’s really starting to give lots of hugs to Denis and me, she hardly ever bestows them on anyone else. So I was absolutely shocked when she walked right up [...]
Dear Carolyn, It’s only one more month until your first birthday! This time last year I was home on bedrest, watching you do somersaults and have hiccups and wondering what you’d be like. And now…now you’re a busy little toddler who still gets the hiccups and is trying to learn how to do somersaults. I [...]
Any guesses as to what this much pink wool is going to look like in 20 years? Seriously, though, how cool would it be to hike up a giant pink bunny mountain? Too bad it wasn’t there 18 months ago, maybe I could have talked Denis into making a pilgrimage while we were in Italy. [...]
The other night at dinner, Carrie did the cutest thing ever. (I say that a lot, don’t I?) My parents were over, and we were all sitting at the table together. Carrie looked at my dad and blew him a kiss – her kisses are preceded by a sort of lemon face, she really works [...]
Remember the Jayne hat I made a couple of weeks ago? Well, I just finished knitting not only the second adult hat but also a baby-sized Jayne hat! How cute is this, I ask you? (Denis and I have decided that it definitely falls into the “really stinkin’ cute” category.) Click on Carrie (or here) [...]
We’re having a mini sign explosion here! Today Carrie signed “ball” and “binky”. (There isn’t a standard ASL sign for “binky” (or pacifier) that I can find, it’s just something we made up because she was using “milk” sometimes when she really just wanted a binky – I just point my index finger to my [...]
