Kites, Crayons, Snow, Counting, 2 Year Doctor Visit
Since reading The Cat in the Hat, Jonathan has expressed interest in flying kites. The other day, he said, "Jonathan fly kites, too - three!" On Friday, Mom, Jonathan and I went shopping in the Strip District to get things like cheese, mustard, curry paste and spices. Penzey's Spices has... (More)

States, Hiding, Practicing for the New Baby, Sentences
When I told Jonathan about Dad-o's conference in New York, he asked, "Where New York?" So I showed him New York on his US puzzle. While we were there, he showed me New Hampshire and Massachusetts, entirely on his own initiative. The next day, he picked up a piece from the puzzle and ran into the... (More)

Jon Goes To The ER
Based on an excruciating headache Wednesday afternoon, October 12, that did not go away, Jon and I headed to West Penn Hospital Emergency Room at 10:30pm. A friend came to the house to watch Jonathan while he slept. Here is an aside - it was so good for Jonathan that he did not come, he would... (More)

Are The Old Ladies Right After All?
Friday evening, Jonathan was cranky, he fell asleep early, and he felt hot. I wondered if it might be an ear infection because his right ear had been squeaking when he nursed. In the middle of the night, I remembered that fever is a common reaction to the MMR vaccine, usually occuring 7-12 days... (More)

Thumbsucking
Jonathan was a thumbsucker since before he was born. We did nothing to discourage it, except that I would often offer to nurse. Somewhere around 12 or 13 months, I mentioned to Jon that he wasn't sucking his thumb any more. After that, I did notice him doing it in his sleep sometimes. Now, he... (More)

Children's Museum
Grammy decided that it would be fun to go to the Children's Museum , and boy was she right! This place is so so so so fun. There's so much stuff to do and explore, for ages infant to 100! Now that Grammy got us introduced, I think Jonathan and I will go often, by ourselves and with friends.... (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)

Sick
I am not usually awake at 5:30 in the morning, but Jonathan's sickness has caused us to go through three diapers, three tshirts and one set of bedsheets all in the span between 3 and 4:30 am. Now he won't go back to sleep, so here I am. (More)

Signing!
Yesterday, Jonathan signed "more" very clearly and correctly. I rewarded him by fulfilling his request - more dried cranberries from my granola. Then in the evening while we were waiting for a bus, he signed "toilet" - not as perfectly, but obviously enough. Unfortunately, there was no place to... (More)

Christmas Adventures Part 2
The night we arrived (Monday) was "Christmas Eve" so we each opened our one present from "Mr. Ho" and filled the stockings for the morning. It turns out that Santa had also visted Bermuda, because we each received a souvenir ornament from Bermuda. "Christmas" morning was leisurely, as Mom had to... (More)

Christmas Adventures
Christmas Eve morning, Jonathan threw up. It turned out to be a stomach bug, so the performance repeated itself several times. We took a bath and napped in a chair. (He seemd to throw up more if he was lying down, so I held him upright and tried to sleep myself.) We tried to nurse, but it just... (More)

Signing, finally!
I had just told my friend yesterday that I was getting discouraged about signing because Jonathan was not doing any except for an isolated sign here and there. Then today, he distinctly signed for "milk" several times! The first time, he was cranky and I asked him what he needed. I said, "do... (More)

Dermatologist and Philosophical Rambling
I went to a dermatologist this morning to have a mole removed and a small skin lump checked out. My referring doctor said this dermatology practice is the best in Pittsburgh. However, I really am getting more and more disillusioned with medical practice as we know it. As soon as I walked in, I... (More)

We Thought He Felt Heavy...
Got a shot today, and he didn't cry this time, even smiled at the nurse afterwards. I unofficially weighed him. This is with clothes and diaper, but the diaper was not full. Hold your breaths... 26 lb 6 oz Yikes! I'm going to have to get the 24 mo clothes out. (More)

Preliminary Hearing
I just got back from the courthouse. The judge upheld all charges. The prosecution added a fourth charge as well, that I didn't really understand -- It was a little hard to hear everything. There is an additional charge of endangering the welfare of a minor, I think having to do with... (More)
