Monday, Noah walked all the way to the ShurSave on his own two legs. He also pushed the stroller the last half. The only exception was that I carried him across Friendship Ave because his walking speed is not yet up to crossing that busier road. In other news, he can say... (More)

Walking Down Stairs

Noah just walked down from the third floor to the second facing forward, holding the railing, all by himself! This railing is lower than normal, I noted with Jonathan that it's a great way to start learning. On another note, Noah has another word, "go." (More)

Taking His Name

" Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." Exodus 20:7 (KJV) I've been thinking more recently about what this means. I grew up thinking that it pretty much just meant don't... (More)

Snowballs in June

The Carnegie Science Center has a promotion that if you bring a snowball in on the first day of summer, they give you free admission. Although this was the first year I'd heard of it, everyone else in Pittsburgh knew about it, too. We'd planned on getting there when it opened,... (More)

Walk

We are staying at the Palisades Retreat Center , which is a lovely place to... (More)

Learning to Shoot, Standing Up, J Quote

The other day, Jonathan pointed his hand like a gun at Noah and made the shooting noise (not going to try to spell that one!) Directly in response, Noah pointed at Jonathan and went, "pfff, pfff, pfff." 6/6 - Noah got to a standing position from the floor without pulling... (More)

Noah can now unscrew and screw on lids. He is also turning out to be an adventurous climber. He wanted something on top of the changing table and he succeeded in getting both feet on the top of the bottom drawer. But then he was stuck. He also likes to step... (More)

The Report: Jonathan "Drives" A Backhoe

Just before 7:00 this morning, I thought I heard some sounds, so looked out the window to see a pickup truck but no backhoe. The backhoe arrived just after 7 and Jonathan watched out the window while I got ready for the day. Daddy said we could go out to look before breakfast since... (More)

Not to be outdone by his brother , Jonathan has some interesting things for a blog post today, too. Recently, he's been enjoying cutting out paper shapes that he draws or that I draw for him. This morning he asked me to draw the picture from the first page of Curious... (More)

Spears, Reading, Boggle

5/7 - "Mommy, we don't see people with spears too much." Cell phones, yes, spears, no. 5/10 - I was doing some reading on the laptop and scrolling with the arrows. First Jonathan noticed that when I pressed the down arrow, the page went up, and vice versa, and... (More)

It's Worth Finding A Good Pediatric Dentist!

Last month, I took Jonathan for his first dental checkup and cleaning. He did a great job, asking lots of questions and generally having a good time. But they did discover two huge fillings. The regular dentist doesn't do fillings for kids, so she had us make an appointment... (More)

Less Exciting, But Still Noteworthy

Here are the things I've written down over the last few days - and I had the foresight to take the paper out of my pocket before going sailing! 4/26 - Jonathan, playing with legos or something: "Dam it, dam it, dam it." Mommy: "Jonathan, please don't say... (More)
