Stairs, Standing, Another Molar, More

5/7 - Noah was sitting on the kitchen floor, trying to plug the breadmaker into his bellybutton. He consistently and safely climbs up the stairs by himself now. Though I do still like to be behind him. Related to this, I really have to pay attention. I... (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)

Car Accident on Penn Avenue

I am up late working on some code, and all of a sudden there is a really loud noise, and I look out my window and watch a car turn kind of sideways and roll over. As far as I can tell there wasn't a second car involved, but I don't know what could have happened to make him flip... (More)

Shopping Cart Thrill Ride

After Noah's doctor appointment, we went to the grocery store. I had parked forward-facing to a curbed, sloped sidewalk. On the side of the walk opposite the parking lot was a railing. Because of the curb, I did not push the cart to the trunk of my car as I usually... (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)

Noah's First Word!

I had been wondering for a few days if I was seeing correctly. But yesterday I knew for sure, and this morning only confirms it. Noah finishes what's on his tray and looks up at me expectantly. I ask, "more, please?" with signs (sometimes it's a full sentence... (More)

Helping, Singing, Teething, Reaching

One afternoon we were shredding carrots in the food processor for a salad. Noah was getting upset, so Jonathan said to me, "You go ahead and give Noah milk; I'll finish the carrots." Noah has been wanting to eat more and has had lots of practice feeding bits of things... (More)

Skiing

We finally went skiing for the first time this year and although it was pretty cold, we did have a lot of fun and stayed a lot longer than we did last year. We had a little trouble getting our tickets - it is always hard to find the ski club people, and I was incorrectly asking for Carnegie... (More)

Thoughts on Marriage

A friend of John Kuhns was asked some questions about marriage and what the point of it is. This was his response: I think you are right that marriage is becoming less and less meaningful these days. People seem to think of marriage as just a very-committed relationship. When you are in a... (More)

The Joy of Watching Them Learn

I've been especially enjoying my boys the last week or so, having fun watching them learn so fast. Specifically, Noah's crawling and Jonathan's recognition of numerals and letters. Noah has now figured out "crawling for transportation." He knows he can do... (More)

Lost Planner, Boys' Events

I lost my planner just before Christmas (as far as I can deduce, in a shopping cart in the parking lot of Jo-Ann's on McKnight Rd - anybody seen it? Please return it, you can keep the gift cards, I just want the information!) It had several notes in it about cute things the boys... (More)
