Lately, Myron has been really excited about this walker from his friend, Emmy. He will walk / run in circles around the chimney, and Em and I will hide in different places and then jump out and say “boogie boogie!”, to which he laughs and then starts running faster. Sometimes he falls down when he […]

It has been a while. Everyone is healthy aside from what seems to be a common cold Myron picked up. Myron has been back in daycare for ten or so weeks now, and this is the first time anyone here has gotten sick since then, which is impressive, come to think of it. I have […]

I have really missed writing and reflecting here. Quarantine and the resulting lack of childcare has made it tough to get anything done these days. As a family, we have processed this phenomenon in waves. Being solid introverts, we somewhat enjoyed the quiet and not having to rush to get Myron to daycare and ourselves […]

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 […]
