Jonathan is saying new words so quickly now that it is impossible to keep track of them. Here are a few highlights from the past week. I once overheard a neighbor boy across the street complain to his aunt, "That baby is so annoying, he just keeps saying 'hi.' " But the other day, Jonathan did... (More)

New Words and Stuff

5/8 - "I got it"; maybe "I love you"; when I got a candle at church for Mother's Day, I told Jonathan it was one of the smelly kinds, and he held it up to my nose. 5/9 - "Mommy" !!!!!! You know, there is just something so sweet and heart-melting when his little voice says "mommy." I didn't... (More)

Yet Another Delay

When I said a year ago that maybe Jonathan would be in college by the time this was all done, I was joking, but apparently, it might come true.I got a note from Vicki today saying that the defense filed for pre-trial motions, and the judge agreed. So, the pre -trial meeting will happen on... (More)

Repetition and Memorization

I can now recite in their entirety from memory: Miss Spider's Tea Party Dr.Seuss's ABC The Very Hungry Caterpillar and maybe Sandra Boynton's A to Z, though I haven't tested myself on that one yet. (More)

Current Vocabulary List

Sometimes it's hard to tell exactly when he says something, or to remember to write it down. So I've compiled a list of the words Jonathan can say. Maybe I'll even post comments as he adds words. apple ball bits blind (as in window) boo (as in jumping around a corner to surprise... (More)

Running!

I can now definitively say that Jonathan is running. At the Jubilee conference Sunday morning, there were long hallways to explore and he ran down them. It's a very cute toddler run, but it's definitely a run. And he swings his arms in a nice cross-pattern. (More)

15 Month Checkup

The stats: 34 lb 10 oz; 33 inches tall Dr.Anderson was finally happy that the weight started to plateau. I had not decreased nursing at all (on purpose, though it did slightly naturally - except for no nursing 30 minutes before dinner.) But I had tried to make sure he got lots of exercise.... (More)

Dinnertime

Jonathan will now put his hands in ours when it's time to pray before dinner.Tonight we had quiche, and Jonathan worked hard at saying "quiche." He couldn't quite get the initial consonant sound, but he could say "eesh" or "sheesh." (More)

Van Gogh's Ear

As indicated previously, one of Jonathan's bit cards is Van Gogh's painting "Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear." The last two times I've showed it to him, he has pointed to his ear (and maybe even said something like "ear.') (More)

A Glimpse Into the Inner Workings of the City of Pittsburgh

Jonathan loves to watch the garbage truck come down the street and pick up the trash. This morning, we spent 25 minutes standing at the window, watching the world, waiting for the truck, watching the truck, and learning new things. Every once in a while, I would notice that a smaller truck,... (More)

Reality TV

I don't know a whole lot about the whole reality TV show craze, (I actually haven't seen a single one) but since this is a blog, I feel liberated to spout my views on the subject. There is an article in the Pittsburgh paper a couple of days ago regarding a former Pittsburgh priest, who has... (More)

Barking, Shoveling, Singing

Jonathan likes to bark when he hears a dog barking. The other day when I was shoveling, he did a great job with his own little shovel, and we managed to stay out the whole time it took me to do the job. Last Friday, after grocery shopping, Jonathan carried a bag across the kitchen. When I... (More)

How'd We Get To Fifteen So Fast??

This morning, I found Jonathan's lower left canine poking through. That's five teeth in a span of only a couple of days! He hasn't been acting unusual - the only thing I can think of is being more cuddly recently. (More)

LimeDaley.com

I finally figured out a name for my web-hosting and embedded software company. I had decided on FIRM Solutions in December, but then someone beat me to buying the domain name.It must have been so much easier to figure out company name things before the internet. I spent quite a while searching... (More)

Frozen Pipes

We woke up this morning (5ish) to no water in our upstairs bathroom. The downstairs sink was fine, which had been trouble before, so maybe I actually fixed that last year. The temperature was 9 degrees Fahrenheit, and typically, we have had trouble once it gets to the teens. We set up a... (More)
