Email Random Signature Generation
I wrote a random signature generator for Pine, my email client. It worked great for a number of years, but with a recent upgrade of Pine, it started having trouble a couple of times a day, where the signature would be correctly rotated, but Pine would hang prior to sending the message, and would...

Zoo and Other Adventures
On April 27, we went to the Zoo with Alissa, Will, Nate, and Sam. I sang to Jonathan the "We're going to the zoo" song and he repeated, "zoo, zoo, zoo!" He also repeated "cheetah" but he growled at the bears on his own. The elephants were much larger in real life than he expected and he didn't... (More)

Daddy
On Saturday while we were hanging around on CMU campus for Carnival, Jonathan signed "Daddy." We were at the top of the hill by the tennis courts, talking to a friend, and our kids were playing down at the bottom of the hill. I saw Jonathan signing for Daddy, and he was thrilled to answer the... (More)

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)

Porch Door, Knock Knock, Whistling
Jonathan can now open the porch door (going from inside to outside) all by himself! He was so happy with the accomplishment, he did it over and over. Some time recently, Jonathan managed to get a whistle out of his pursed lips. I was in the kitchen and he was in the living room, heading towards... (More)

We have a neighbor a few doors down who is almost the same age as Jonathan. Today Justin and his mom and Jonathan and I were outside playing at the same time.

Cute Things
On March 31, Jonathan was playing with his little people. He put a girl on one of the circus cars so that she was lying down, said, "night night" and put his head down on the coffee table. On April 3, all three of us were downstairs together while Jonathan was taking a bath. It was time to get... (More)

Bits Update
Jonathan continues to love the butterflies. We're almost finished with Van Gogh. We started some mammals, which he likes, too. He likes geography as long as I don't spend too much time on it. We finished with states a while back, did continents, and are now working on countries in Africa. We... (More)

Jonathan's Recent Activities
He seems to have at least one new word a day now. Sometime before March 24, he said "boots." On March 24 he signed "cheese" and drank some water from a small bathroom cup by himself without crushing the cup to a pulp and without spilling very much. He says water that sounds like "why." Other... (More)

One, Two...
In situations where it's fun to count down (jumping, etc.) Jonathan will now say, "one... two..." He doesn't seem to want to say three, but the first two are very clear. We were playing outside today, on our furniture cart, riding it down the very gentle incline of our "yard." When I pushed off,... (More)

Big Helper
This morning Jonathan and I went down to the basement. I opened the dryer door for him and told him he could take the clothes out and put them in the laundry basket if he wanted to. While I rinsed out a dirty diaper, he did just what I said! He unloaded the whole thing all by himself (including... (More)

Debian Server
My new server arrived last week, and it came preconfigured with Gentoo, so it booted up, and I checked it out, but I really want a Debian system, so tonight is my second attempt at getting it to install. The first attempt failed miserably, but...I had been having trouble with my usual installer,... (More)

Kids Just Grow Up So Fast
I called my friend Alissa today and her four and a half year old son William answered. I said hi and asked for his mom and he said, "Well, she's downstairs right now, but you can talk to me and tell me what you want to say and I can tell her." It was not that long ago that he would only say,... (More)

Good Night, Daddy
Last night when it was time to go bed, after I changed his diaper, I took Jonathan down from the table and said, "Go into the other room and say good night to Daddy and then we'll go to bed." He did just that, with his "good night" sounding similar to "bye-bye" with softer consonants. He even... (More)
