In true baby fashion, L is testing Darwin’s law – survival of the fittest – with an enthusiastic desire to crawl rapidly with small objects in his mouth, bite electrical cords and wind balls of yarn around his body. We are coping with this with a creative mixture of minimalist spaces (time to move the [...]

My life as a dog
Posted in Loganberry FrogMonkey on January 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
L has learned that he can put objects in his mouth and crawl to his new destination while retaining the toy. Previously if there were 2 things he wanted to play with he would crawl to one, pick it up, see the other, set down the first one and crawl to the second one, see [...]
Kilroy was here

Kilroy. Isn’t that the little pencil drawing you used to see everywhere of the top of a man’s head, his big bulbous nose and his two hands popping up over the edge of something? That’s my son. You hear him approach. Maybe. Then there is a hand on the table next to you. Then another. [...]
Mama vs. the nap monster
Posted in Loganberry FrogMonkey on January 24, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I just lost a chocolate chip somewhere in the carpet. Loganberry will love that when he finds it.
So yesterday I had grand plans for us to attend our first MOPS meeting (mom group). Then as I was getting ready to pack the diaper bag L reminded me that 10 a.m. is nap time Mama. We’re [...]

Baby, baby Crockett, king of the wet Northwest!
Just got back from Swedish where Loganberry had lots and lots of blood drawn. It’s time to test him to see if he got Papa’s genes for thalasemia and Mama’s genes for spherocytosis. We already know he is a thal carrier. We just don’t know what level of [...]
Only cat

Jones is loving being an only cat. He spent a day or so wandering around the house and coming up to us every so often as if to say, “Hey, has anyone noticed the grey haired old fart is missing?” Then he settled in and claimed every lap in the house as his personal property.
He [...]
Howdy from the funny farm

Well after 10 days of fever it finally broke and stayed broke. Then B got sick. Fever of 103. Three days in bed. Loganberry has still only managed to pick up a cough. It is so sad to hear this huge cough coming out of this little body in the middle of the night but [...]
How tired is Mama? Sooo tired!
Posted in Loganberry FrogMonkey on January 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I can’t remember the last time I was this tired. I know WHEN it was. I just can’t remember it because my body has been chemically altered to forget so that I’ll be gullible enough to have a second child.
Today I have actually been getting some sleep as the fever has broken but I wake [...]
Too soon

Ah well, the fever is back. Must’ve been the Tylenol that gave me a normal reading.
Loganberry’s new game is grab an item (preferably paper or cloth), look to see if Mama is watching, then grin, chomp down and rip and look back to see if I’m going to try to take it out of his [...]
Houseplants
Posted in Loganberry FrogMonkey on January 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I realize I left a comment on a site saying I’d be willing to answer questions about houseplants on my blog so I suppose I had better blog about some plants! When we first bought our house we had some roommates. Between us we had about 70 houseplants. Almost none of them were duplicates. [...]
