Less Exciting, But Still Noteworthy
Here are the things I've written down over the last few days - and I had the foresight to take the paper out of my pocket before going sailing!   4/26 -  Jonathan, playing with legos or something: "Dam it, dam it, dam it." Mommy: "Jonathan, please don't say... (More)

It's Not A Thankless Job
Jonathan and I were drawing and coloring together downstairs.  At one point, I had written his name, and then when we were cutting things, I cut a heart out around his name.  Soon after, I went to change Noah's diaper.   I heard Jonathan say, "How do you spell... (More)

Noah: 9 Months

3rd Tooth
The first part of the upper left incisor poked through yesterday, with much fussing, drool (can you say fountain?), and even a little blood.  Note to Mommy: even if you know he's teething, check the diaper anyway. (More)
