Let’s talk about toys! Grampa Dave hand-cut a few shapes for Ian to play with, a three-dimensional square (not quite a cube) and an extruded circle, during our visit on February 14th. On Monday of this week Ian was delighted to get a package containing the third shape, a triangle. Needless to say we’ve heard […]
On Monday, February 23rd, as the day progressed, Ian and I discovered something that could make a 2 year old boy and a 38 year old man giggle with glee. Have you ever blown bubbles over a floor mounted heater vent? It was nothing short of the Fourth of July! Speaking of giggles, here’s today’s […]
While Saturday was the kind of day that made me want another child, full of beautiful moments to sigh over happily, Sunday was a lot more rough. He’s definitely at the age now where everything needs to be challenged… It is funny everybody tells you “just wait for the terrible twos” but nobody bothers to […]
I’ll do my best to keep you and I both informed about chronological order mishaps that are about to happen because I can’t get organized, apparently! These images are from the trip to Grampa Dave and Grandma Marcia’s house last week on the 14th and 15th of February, 2009. We combined a number of celebrations […]
Hi again, sorry about the delays. I’ve got some stuff kind of lined up to last us a bit. Hopefully we’ll get additional pictures and stuff eventually. I’ve got a whole disc from Christmas in Florida that contains some bonus pictures I’d like to get up here as well. Things are just really busy at […]
Things are alright, money-wise… we’re doing fine, but there has been a temporary lapse in work for me as clients shuffle projects around, etc. There’s plenty of work coming down the pike, I think, but I used that pause to do something for the business. I’ve been working on my company website. It is far […]
Ok so today we were cleaning up the remnants of lunch, Ian was sitting playing over on the first step, a handful of coasters in his hand. From her chair Melissa counted them as he moved them “One, two, three, four, five…” And then Ian chimed in, moving the coasters and pointing, but more importantly… […]
Alright so here’s the audio bits! Click on the “title” in order to hear the sounds. Some of them are a little big to download, sorry. Animals This is Ian naming some animals and other objects on a toy that he received for his birthday. Listen for “That’s a monkey.” Be Careful Daddy I slipped […]
I forgot to mention Mommy’s b-day in addition to Ian’s.I didn’t forget to get her a present and a sort of card with ian pictures in it, but I did forget to mention it here. The highlight was making Ian present an armful of flowers to his mommy when we got back from daycare. Melissa […]
The night I made the previous entry “Steps of Progress” was a rough one. A couple notes… Ian’s temp didn’t get too outlandish, but he was not able to sleep well at all. Very early in the morning, long before sun-up, Ian would not go back down, and so I took him downstairs to get […]
