Cast Off!
Yesterday, Noah got his cast off!
His arm healed beautifully — you could see on the x-rays, the tiny line where the fracture was on one of the bones, and the new bone growth around it. It is amazing how fast toddlers grow and heal.
The actual experience of getting the cast off was a little traumatic. […]

The First Day at Miss Heather’s
Noah’s first day at Miss Heather’s was a success.
There was no upset when Jill dropped him off. He didn’t nap well or eat much lunch, but since he’d had 2 yogurts and a bowl of cereal for breakfast, this was not shocking. He also ate like a teenage boy at dinner. (A piece of steak, […]

2 Years and 2 Months
Dear Noah,
Last week, you turned 2 years and 2 months old.
Your language skills continue to explode. This month, you’ve started singing entire songs. Sure, you skip some of the words, and others are perhaps not standard, but that just makes the ABCs, “Uh-Oh, Weasel!” and “Pocket Rosie” all the cuter.
We pulled you from your second […]

From a 1:2485 chance of her having a serious genetic disorder, we are now moved to a roughly 1:5000 chance. The perinatologist said that without an amnio, that’s about the most favorable odds […]

I GOT TO COOK PIZZA!!!

Wait, You Mean There’s Another Baby?
With all the drama around day care and vomiting (oh yeah, and not sleeping well at all), Noah has certainly been distracting attention away from his future sibling.
Blur seems to be over that. S/he has been growing like the proverbial weed, and is starting to regularly kick, bubble, flutter, or what have you. And give […]

Oy. What a Trip.
So this weekend, we drove to Tampa for the semi-finals of the NCAA Women’s Final Four. We actually drove to Gulfport, Florida, about half an hour or so south of Tampa. Gulfport was great, and the cottage we stayed in was a cute little 2BR house a block from the beach.
It was a wild roller-coaster […]
