L loves airplanes

Every time he hears a plane fly over our house – often before B or I hear it – and every time he sees an airplane fly over our house – always before B, he definitely inherited my eyesight – he smiles, points and says “ai-yuh” or airplane as we have elected to interpret it. [...]

Today I really needed playgroup. I mean. Really. Needed. It.
Grammy isn’t coming next week (for excellent but unfortunate reasons) and my little demon child has been testing the limits of my patience. He very nearly found them yesterday when I took him out in the yard to burn off a little energy and he decided [...]

We are sorry to hear that you and Grandpa will be unable to make it up next week for a visit. The good news is that we have discovered that L fits perfectly in our hard-sided cooler. It even has an airhole! We will place L down for the night and duct tape the top [...]

L’s favorite new game is Get Me. He crawls a little ways away while looking over his shoulder and laughing. His invitation to play. (I’m starting to see how toddlers think it’s a wonderful game when they run away from you in a crowded mall.) He always seems able to gauge my energy level as [...]

It’s 3 a.m. and you are wide awake. I am not. But I am sitting here watching you play with my camera, hoping you will not break it.
A year ago at this moment, your father was laying across my body, softly crying and playing Peter Gabriel on the CD player quietly, in hopes of not [...]
