Art and parquet floors.

By amanda | October 23rd, 2008
Elijah took his first trip to the art institute today.  The walk there was great, looking around at all the leaves, hearing the cars, seeing the school buses.  He was a little tired by the time we got there but held up.  We got through the entrance and saw some nice lighting.  The jacket came [...]

Well, he was born under the sign of the crab.

By amanda | October 12th, 2008
Ijah has a new trick.  At night he does this kinda of crab walk thing.  We noticed the other night so we moved almost all of the toys to the foot of his bed so that he wouldnt bury himself in them.  I just left two fabric blocks in the corners so we wouldn’t jam [...]

Zoom…Blur…

By amanda | October 7th, 2008

One of the things that keeps me here

There’s a long list of reasons why I stay at my current job.  Most of them involve the work-environment, the people, the work, the history, and the proximity to home.  It allows Amanda and Ijah to visit whenever. He’s gotten to the point where he can hold his head up for long enough that the front [...]

Elijah looks like me sometimes.  I saw it the other day when I saw this picture. I think it’s the smile. And the upset face…

Stinky baby.

By amanda | October 2nd, 2008
I love the kiddo, I really do…but what was this BS I was always fed about sweet smelling babies…my nose is way to sensitive to the sour milk smell… Unfortunately we don’t have laundry in the apartment, and there aren’t enough quarters in the world to keep up with his spit up habit. Good thing he’s cute.
