It has been a long lead-up, but Myron has started to army crawl. He has improved his technique a little bit since this video, but it’s similar. The propulsion is all in the arms, but he wiggles his legs as well. He really seems to tire himself out doing this after about five minutes. He […]
While I am usually trying to contain messes, Em was on primary Myron duty this day, so she let him have some fun. She let him serve himself a bit with his training spoon and this suction cup bowl. It took about 30 seconds for him to pull the bowl off of the table and […]
Myron turned 11 months old today. We have no idea how that happened.For the most part, Myron has had no problem with being carried from place to place and having things brought to him. He still wants to be held most of the time, so at home, he doesn’t typically get much floor time to […]
Myron is still quite skilled at eating finger foods. The nice thing about finger foods is that cleanup is usually as easy as picking up the solid pieces from inside his chair and feeding them to him as fun bonus snacks and then picking up more solid pieces from the floor and putting them in […]
Myron still looks mostly like mom. People mention this all the time. Someone said that he didn’t seem to have much resemblance to me, but I pointed out that he has my appetite. Over our Christmas vacation, Grandma Nancy introduced him to cereal that he could feed himself. This was like pouring lighter fluid on […]
Myron had an action-packed first Christmas in North Carolina. With a lot of logistical help from various friends and family members, we traveled to the beautiful far-away town of Beaufort, NC and got to introduce Myron to Em’s family traditions just as we have experienced them all these years. Myron got many gifts of books […]
The day before we traveled for Thanksgiving, we had to say goodbye to our dear Kepler. Last winter, she had declined quite a bit – I said that she lost one of her nine lives but she still had a few left. We didn’t think she would make it through the kitchen renovation. With her […]
Em was really excited about Myron’s outfit for Uncle Pete and Cioci Amanda’s wedding. Our friend, Jane was in Italy at the time She learned of Myron’s pending arrival, so she stopped into a store that had some baby things in the window and picked up these fancy Italian baby shoes! Despite not walking (or […]
Lately, when we set Myron down on the floor, he has been doing this skydiving pose and pumping his legs in excitement. Also, we saw a turkey walk down our street! He/she was just pecking through the grass for snacks. The utility company is replacing water lines, and said turkey also stopped to drink some […]
We put a lot of thought behind Myron’s name, as I wrote about earlier, and some things that we learned about Myron’s time in daycare reminded me of one of his namesakes. Myron Rosander was a key figure in that crucial time in my life when I was trying to figure out who I was as […]
