6 months! Solid foods, Grandma Nancy visit

This guy is 6 months old today! Also, it’s the farthest day away from April Fool’s Day. I suggested celebrating October Serious Day, which was met with groans and sighs. Maybe that’s exactly what one expects on October Serious Day though – that no one finds it funny? Grandma Nancy visited a few days ago […]

Myron starts day care!

{CAPTION}

On Monday, this guy had his first day of daycare. We were a little nervous. I think Em was more so than I was, since my day-to-day usually involves just seeing him in the morning and in the evening but otherwise being apart from him during the day. It went swimmingly, and Myron settles right […]

5 Months and Partial New Skills

Myron is 5 months old today! Our neighbors Carole and Tony gave him these monthly birthday stickers when he was 4 months and change, so here’s our 1-5 months photo. Kepler still guards him.  A few weeks ago, Myron started rolling over from back to belly! Once or twice, he also rolled over onto his […]

Myron’s Favorite Things

Myron sucking his fingers and looking at trees, with Em gazing at him from behind.

Myron is starting to notice more things in the world and establish some interests. Trees! The first not-entirely-predictable thing I’ve noticed Myron take an interest in is trees. I think it’s something about the way the branches blow in the breeze and the high contrast they create against the sky. As an aside, he is […]

Meeting Emma

Myron met another baby friend! Emma is about 3 months older than Myron. Mostly they slept while the other one was awake, but they got to were forced to interact for a brief window.

Grandma Nancy and Woo Woo Visit

Grandma Nancy and Woo Woo took a couple of trains from NC to visit Myron. We stopped by The Museum of the Moon, and we held up the moon for a bit. We also went on a tour of New Urban Arts, and Ashley was really into having Myron attend a staff meeting. This guy […]

Myron at the beach

{CAPTION}

We took Myron to the beach. It was technically not the first time, but it was the first time he was aware of it. That said, he is probably too young to remember it. It was a little harrowing at first. Em was quite nervous about how to handle providing shade and shelter from the […]

A New Baby Friend!

{CAPTION}

A couple of weeks ago, Myron got to meet his second cousin once removed, Landen, who is just one month older than Myron is! Mostly they didn’t pay that much attention to each other. But when coerced, they noticed each other and maybe even expressed some interest. Really though, I think they have a way […]

Sitting up for Independence

{CAPTION}

Well, it’s Independence Day, so Myron’s new step toward independence is sitting up, at least with a little help from the couch. He gets very excited about this whenever we prop him up. He is also very excited about storytime. Many thanks to Margaret for the handsome custom made bib and to Cathy and Cassidy […]
