Noah: 9 Months

24 pounds, 9 ounces. 30 inches tall. He didn't cry a single whimper for his shot or any of the blood drawing for his hemoglobin and lead tests. What a brave, tough guy! He's added water (flicking his ear with his fingers - an unfortunate way to say it, but... (More)

7th Tooth Finally Makes It and Other Stories

Lower left. It's been bothering him for quite a while. Glad it's through and I hope the matching one comes quickly so we can have a rest for a while. Noah has made up his own game that's kind of like Bocce ball. He holds one ball in his hand, and then uses it... (More)

Spelling and Reading

Jonathan was wearing a shirt he got from Auntie E for Christmas and he looked down at his chest and said, "zero-s-h-k-zero-s-h. Oshkosh!" That was interesting to me because when he was first learning numerals, he called zeroes "o." When I menioned that in... (More)

I have been meaning to get around to putting at least some of these in my "Links" panel on the right, though I suspect that it would be too long to place all of them there. But, anyway, here are the blogs that I read regularly. (The RSS feed reader makes it possible to... (More)
