Cheerios in Milk
I have discovered that Jonathan likes his Cheerios in milk if they don't have time to get soggy. So now we have two bowls at breakfast - one for dry Cheerios and one for milk. Then he puts a few in the milk at at time and eats them with his spoon. He gets a lot of milk that way, too. The last... (More)

Common Recent Sayings, Hiccups
Jonathan now has an imaginary friend. Her name is "Su-su" or "Soot-soot" or some combination/permutation of those sounds. She has a big house (not a small one) and she has toys there, usually three.

Good Ol' Home Cooking
I'm so excited about last night's (almost) from scratch Mediterranean dinner success that I have to post! I have come a long way to where I got yesterday. First, when I made this dinner, I would make falafel from a mix, raita (which is actually an Indian name, but I know there's cucumber yogurt... (More)

Spyware Removal
Found an interesting spyware/virus/malware/etc at the Quinlisks yesterday. It was a "Browser Helper Object (BHO)", a method of getting your own code put inside of the windows explorer, and thus pretty hard to remove.They run Ad-Aware every once in a while to clean up their computer,... (More)

Robin Nest 2006
On Saturday morning, April 1st, I saw the mother robin checking out the nest over our door. I put up a blanket over the window (since I never got to finding a one-way glass) so our comings and goings would not disturb the nesting. There are no eggs yet, and I have not seen her again. I... (More)

Favorite Bits
Jonathan's favorite bits recently are Fluorine, Estonia, Great Gray Owl. I'm pretty sure he does know the Estonian flag, but he has now started this game where he goes through them and calls them all "Estonia." I think he just likes to say the word! But yesterday, he was doing that,... (More)

26 Weeks
Had another prenatal appointment yesterday. All is well. She found the heartbeat right away this time, but Jon couldn't find it himself. He is too cautious - but I'd sure rather he be too gentle than too rough! We had to wait a little while because there was a new baby born this morning. He... (More)

Advent, Blinking, Boots
12/22 - We were playing the piano, singing some carols, and Jonathan sang, "Rejoice! Rejoice! Man-u, man-u, man-u, man-u, man-u, shall come!" Later that morning, way before his usual naptime, he was nursing and I saw his eyes roll back in his head, and the lids closing. This surprised me, so I... (More)

Sugar and Energy
I have proved it to myself. Eating too much sugar drains my energy, making me tired and lethargic. On the positive side, cutting down on my sugar consumption gives me energy to last through the day! I have heard and read many things about refined sugars, eating raw foods, eating whole foods,... (More)

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)

Eleven
Yesterday, Jonathan counted to ten and then to eleven all by himself. This is the first time I've heard him get past six on his own. (More)

First Snow, 2005
Just for the record, Pittsburgh got snow flurries yesterday. Very fun to watch. A few actually stuck on the car until the sun came out. (More)

GnuCash / Debian update
I guess I am asking for it, running the gnucash source (1.8.9), but running everything else from Debian testing. I upgraded like usual, somewhere around every week, and didn't think anything of it, because aptitude/Debian always takes care of everything for me. But yesterday, Heather... (More)

Language and Appliance Skills
When Jonathan is talking about zippers or cords, he says, "Zip it down" instead of unzip and "Plug it out" instead of unplug. Makes sense! Yesterday, Jonathan juiced some pineapple slices all by himself - taking out the plunger, placing in a slice of pineapple, pushing it down with the plunger,... (More)

The United States
Jonathan got out the large United States puzzle yesterday and had fun playing with the pieces. He would pick up one and I'd tell him what it was. Then he dumped the whole thing out and he would try to put them in. It's a little hard because the pieces don't stay in their places unless all the... (More)
