Birth Certificate Status
Not sure if I ever mentioned it, but after all that time (only 10 days) it took to come up with a name for Lauren the birth certificate (and SS card) spelled it wrong. So we sent it back with the corrections. Nearly 6 months later I called the state for an update. After spending […]
Are You Two?
Is the question we constantly ask Abigail in response to her most often odd behavior. “Yes.” Is her answer every time, then she stomps off to put band-aids on the wall or do something else entirely. – b
The Sandbox
Built the girls a sandbox last weekend. It’s 6′ x 8′. Jen liked the plans here, so that’s what we built. It contains 3,200 lbs of sand. It took me three trips to Lowes to get all 64 bags of sand (that’s 50 lbs. each). So far Abigail loves it. All she says is “thank […]
Lena Mae
Abigail and Lauren have a new cousin. Lena Mae (Vera’s sister) was born this morning at 2:04 am. She was 6 lbs. 11 oz. and 19″ long. Welcome to the family. – b
Water Table V1.0
Jen found a quick and easy water table we could build for Abigail to play with. She sent me these links and said have at it: http://inspirationthief.blogspot.com/2011/05/diy-water-table.html http://talesofanordinaryhousewife.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-to-build-your-own-water-table-for.html http://imakestuff.typepad.com/i-make-stuff/2010/05/water-table-fun-daddy-made-it.html http://ssmast.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-to-diy-sandwater-table.html http://www.ericsprojects.com/?page_id=88 After buying the mixing tub and nailing some scrap lumber together for an hour and a half, we had this. Before Abigail even had […]
5%
Remember at the beginning of the Whooping Cough scare the thing that got us into that was a visit to the urologist for Lauren? This week we had our first Nephrologist appointment. Here’s what we learned. Apparently of children with fluid in the kidney (Hydronephrosis) and extra large ureters (1% of live births), only 5% […]
Photo Blogger
With a serious lack of time, I’ve resorted to posting lots of pictures to the Gallery without much comment or notification here. If you haven’t seen the latest check it all out here. If you’re family, email me to get your user ids and passwords to see the private albums. – b
Lauren 8, Dad 5
A week or so ago Jen and I changed up the night routine. Now upon Lauren’s first waking, I give her a bottle (about 3 oz.) and get her back to sleep. Things were going well. So well I got it down to not heating the bottle (beyond room temp.), giving it to her in […]
Lauren Eats!
Lauren had her first meal other than breast milk tonight. Not that anything’s going to change over night, but it is another mile stone to check off the list. See the pictures here. – b
Shear Vs. Climb
Back when the clocks changed we stopped going to the rock gym on Saturdays. With the longer days and Abigail napping later in the afternoons, the gym didn’t make as much sense. Though over the last couple of weekends she’s asked to go again. This morning in an attempt to tire her out and nap […]
