Five months. Finally, it seems. Last month was a long winding road of an incredible sickness that we still have not reached the end of yet, so I am just thankful that we’re in NOVEMBER and at FIVE MONTHS. I finished the last post with an epilogue, which now seems moronic. Way to tempt the […]

sputnik; four months in orbit
Samwise is scooting right along the calendar of time, turning four months old yesterday. Tomorrow I will get a doctor-certified length and weight on him when we go for his four month checkup. I’m guessing 16 pounds. My father has a bet in for 18. Sam’s schedule has stayed pretty steady this month — he […]
a most joyful day
My bouncy little niece turns two today! Yesterday we all traveled to Auburn to celebrate. Much cake was eaten and many pictures were taken. Eventually I will get them all up on Flickr but bear with me for I have Sam, Lydia, and a messy house to tend to. Happy Birthday, Bullet!!!
sputnik; three months in orbit
Sam is now three months old; a quarter of a year! When you’re eating and sleeping, time can really fly by. Poor Sam, he’s definitely the Second Child. This month I really began comparing him to Lydia and her Awesomeness of Sleeping Through The Night At TEN WEEKS OLD. She started one night at ten […]
dramatic taco
Lydia is really turning into my little drama queen. She is realizing that she can ‘pretend’ in order to get a specific reaction out of others, especially me. I first realized this about a month or so ago when we were watching cartoons on a Saturday morning. It was The Backyardigans (darn it, now the […]
eater of crayons
We visited my sister down in Auburn yesterday. Lydia’s cousin, Elizabeth, has these excellent crayons that are mostly encased in plastic. Lydia was unamused with the unbreakable nature of the crayons and spent five minutes unsuccessfully trying to take them apart.
normalcy
Sam and I have colds and are feeling a bit under the weather. Lydia is wandering around the house wearing her “cleaning gloves” and refusing to take them off even to eat her cheese. Then there’s Renton, recently drunk from a vet visit, rolling around on the floor and trying unsuccessfully to jump onto the […]
sputnik; two months in orbit
Today Sam turns two months old, but he looks about the size of Lydia at four months old. During this past month we have found out that Sam likes to EAT. Holy moly, he can put it away. Even now I can hear him beginning to wake up behind me, smacking his lips in anticipation […]
sputnik; one month in orbit
And just like that, Sam is one month old. Time flies triple fast when you have two kids nipping for your attention! This first month, caring for Sam himself has been relatively easy. Now that Lydia has been putting us through our paces for the past few years, newborns are a piece of cake. Sam […]
the launch of Sputnik, part IV (orbit)
We have been home with young Samuel for about a week and a half now and things are slowly beginning to find a new normal in our new household of four plus two hungry cats. On Sunday afternoon Lydia arrived a few hours after we did, and here came The Moment I had most anticipated […]
