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 […]

I had been wanting to introduce him to Grandma Teresa ever since he was born, but a couple of things got in the way. First of all, there is some Chinese superstition about a new mother and/or […]

Learning New Things

For the first time ever, Myron is no longer a mostly-unresponsive blob. He has come upon some important milestones the past few weeks. First off, he has been smiling. I didn’t learn until becoming a parent that babies don’t really smile until about 6 weeks of age. The earlier things that looked like smiles are […]

Babies are Hard

Everyone talks about how much joy having a baby brings. When I was 16, my dad told me he was ready for grandchildren. He was mostly joking. My dad remarried and had three amazing children after me, and the youngest was 2 at the time, so babies were his jam then. When my dad and […]

Myron’s first walk around the block

Em walking with Myron in wrap

We went for a walk around the block the other day. Myron slept like a log, or perhaps more appropriately, one might say he was out like a trout since he had his mouth gaping open the entire time. He really loves being wrapped up in this fabric carrier. I just discovered the magic of […]
