Macaroni necklaces.

By amanda | September 30th, 2008
I used to work in retail.  Retail jewelery to be precise.  I always worked on Mother’s day and the couple days after.  It made me see some of the sweetest, and the most appalling sides of families I have ever seen. Usually the day before Mother’s day was packed, Dad’s and kids milling through the [...]

Ijah's laws of behavioral impertinence

By sherman | September 30th, 2008

Yesterday he had his first shots so he slept all afternoon while his body processed Polio, Hepatitis, and various other deliciousness. He slept most of the night.  Granted, he [...]

By amanda | September 16th, 2008
Well, we survived the immunizations.  And while the kiddo is seriously pooped, he made some great strides.  Went from 25th percentile in weight to 50th!  His weight is catching up with his height,  and both have caught up with his head!  Dr. Deb was also seriously impressed with how strong he is!  We have the, [...]

By amanda | September 10th, 2008
They say sleep when he sleeps, nap when he naps.  What if he doesn’t nap!?  Some recent pictures of our little handful just doing the things he does.  Oh!  And a picture of us together!  It’s like a unicorn, very few of them exist!

New tricks!

By amanda | September 8th, 2008
Every camera battery is dead so I will just tell you all that Ijah is now holding and shaking (for brief periods of time) his monster rattle.  He needs a little help when using his opposable thumbs, but once he figures that out he will be a shakin master! He has also already learned the [...]
