Long time no blog! With Twitter, Facebook, and the rest of life, it’s really not been a priority. I keep wanting to blog a bit about Paige, simply to help remember her babyhood. It’s shocking how much I’ve forgotten (blocked out?) of Lane’s, and I’m glad to have the old blog postings [...]
I am a YouTube novice but am giving it a try. I’m using the video feature of my little point-and-shoot camera — I haven’t tried doing anything with the high-rez HD video we are taking with the video camera (future project). I’ve taken a few videos of Paige, probably not interesting to anyone [...]
Lane has a fancy new bedtime routine:
Help Mommy with Paige’s bath
Take a bath with Daddy’s help
Put on PJs & brush teeth
Kiss Mommy goodnight
Read stories with Daddy
After Daddy leaves, scream, yell, and throw things at the closed bedroom door
Eventually settle down and very clearly and calmly begin yelling, “I need a new diaper!” or, “I need [...]
Ok, I’m on a roll — pics from January & February, including our trip with John Welle & the Millers to Mammoth, are posted. (Hm, let’s see if the kid will give me an extra 10min to actually post something about our Mammoth trip…) Mammoth was awesome. Ok, so my expectations were [...]
Sorry I haven’t blogged in eons, not for lack of stuff to post … but I can’t blog at home (too many little fingers poking at the keyboard — and if the little fingers are sleeping probably so am I!) and I can’t blog at work (too crazy busy to even do WORK, much less [...]
I’ve added a few more pics to the Fall 2008 album.
Paige’s first Thanksgiving.
Photos from Thanksgiving are posted on Smugmug. We had a good time with Tad’s family in El Cajon. Kids were on relatively good behavior considering the lack of a nap. Most notably, Paige turned 5 months old on Thanksgiving so we decided to give her her first solid [...]
Finally! A posting about Lane’s birthday celebration(s) – only a month late. I was waiting until I’d had a chance to post the photos, which I finally did. Here you can find photos of the grand event(s), plus other pics from the month of August.
We basically followed the same routine as last [...]
Today we finally got around to going to Baby Loves Disco, an occasional event that converts a local night club to a toddler dance party. I think they’ve had it in San Diego maybe four times this year. Today it was downtown at Aubergine on 4th (why would anyone name a club after [...]
Who would have thought that something so effortless – sleeping – could be so challenging? We are making progress in the sleep department with both children, but we have a long way to go.
Lane’s bedtime routine now takes a heckuva lot longer than it used to. First comes bath, pajamas, brushing [...]
Although Lane’s bedtime saga continues (things are improving but we have a long way to go), recently little Paige turned 1 month old and I didn’t want that milestone to go by unnoted.
Paige is doing great. Her weight gain issue has been resolved and she’s now over a pound heavier than she was when [...]
Saturday night was Lane’s fifth night of his crib strike. We’ve been really talking up the “big boy bed,” and Saturday we made some major improvements. Since the cool truck sheets I ordered from Pottery Barn Kids won’t be here for another week, we went to Sears to pick out two sets of [...]
I’ve cobbled together a wish list for Lane’s 2nd birthday. If I think of anything to add I’ll update the list and do a quick blog posting.
There are a lot of changes going on in Lane’s little life these days: Paige’s birth, moving into the Two Year Old’s room at daycare, moving from crib to “big boy bed,” starting toilet training, and ditching the nighttime bottle. Whew! I’d planned to try to phase them in over time where possible, [...]
In my last posting I noted that nursing got better after the tongue tie was corrected, but then (a.) Paige was losing weight, and (b.) we had thrush. One step forward, two steps back. Well, we’ve made progress on both new challenges.
The weight loss was noted at our doctor’s appointment on Friday, July [...]
