Uncle Pete and Cioci Amanda’s Wedding

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 […]

First flight and other flight-related experiences

{CAPTION}

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 […]

More Name References

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 […]

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 […]
