Making Breakfast AKA Jonathan's First Post

Italics are what I (Jon) said during the dictation, though I missed a lot, and didn't type in some of Jonathan's repeated sentences. Daddy went downstairs with me, and I went downstairs with me too. We didn't get three scrambled eggs, we got four. (We had a... (More)

Little Ears Listening All The Time

Thursday morning at breakfast, Jonathan said to me, "Maybe you should try vibrating your two glasses. I'm vibrating mine!" as he tapped gently on his orange juice glass with his spoon. How does he know about vibrations of glasses? Certain family members should be able to guess! I didn't really... (More)

Jonathan asked Heather if he could make breakfast (eggs, since it is Saturday), and Heather said that he wasn't ready to do it by himself, and do it with Daddy.When I got downstairs, he asked me,...

Good Ol' Home Cooking

I'm so excited about last night's (almost) from scratch Mediterranean dinner success that I have to post! I have come a long way to where I got yesterday. First, when I made this dinner, I would make falafel from a mix, raita (which is actually an Indian name, but I know there's cucumber yogurt... (More)

Found an interesting spyware/virus/malware/etc at the Quinlisks yesterday. It was a "Browser Helper Object (BHO)", a method of getting your own code put inside of the windows explorer, and thus pretty hard to remove.They run Ad-Aware every once in a while to clean up their computer,... (More)

Getting Ready to be a Big Brother

Jonathan has gone from complete non-understanding to maybe understanding but not caring, to really being excited about the baby. He likes to pat my belly and sing to the baby. "Can you hear me, baby?" "Do you like this [patting/pressing], baby?" "I love you, baby." We've started talking... (More)

Favorite Bits

Jonathan's favorite bits recently are Fluorine, Estonia, Great Gray Owl. I'm pretty sure he does know the Estonian flag, but he has now started this game where he goes through them and calls them all "Estonia." I think he just likes to say the word! But yesterday, he was doing that,... (More)

Visited States

Somehow I missed it when Janet posted her visited states post. I think I have this right, though I don't remember all of these states, so maybe it doesn't count if I just know that I drove through them but can't remember anything about them. (my visited country map wouldn't be that exciting,... (More)

A woman I know has been having breastfeeding troubles with her three month old. She firmly believes in the superiority of breastmilk and nursing, and so has persisted through the discouragement (implicit and from other people, including pediatrician) and is using a lactation supplementer instead...

"It's Dripping Everywhere"

That statement by Jonathan is what I woke up to from my nap this afternoon. It has worked before - to let him play quietly by himself while I take my nap. But today, well, he just tried to be a little more independent than he's truly capable of. He crawled up onto the bed and stood up next to... (More)
