Baby on a Roll

We finally have a “normal” baby. When Sophie was little, we (like most parents) scoured the parenting books for clues about her development. At 6 months, she should be sleeping through the night, putting things in her mouth, and be attracted to bright objects. For Sophie, the answer was No, No, No. She had no …

Loving the 80’s

Kristen over at Motherhood Uncensored was nice enough to rent some space out this past week, and she also promoted my blog, and sent some people over to this little corner. She also added the proviso that I complete some 80’s meme. I’m not even sure was meme is, but it has “me” in it …

Miffy is a Communist!

I was watching Miffy the other day (just checking out what Sophie watches), and after seeing a few episodes, I came to the inevitable conclusion – Miffy is nothing more than a shill for communism! Before you laugh, let me explain: In one episode, Miffy is speaking to her father – she would like to …

Baby It’s Cold Outside!

Sophie and I went out at the height of the blizzard this morning – two hearty souls going for a ride out in the snow. Well, Sophie got to ride, Dad just got to pull. We saw three people out there, and two were out with their dogs, so they weren’t out by choice. The …

Hacking is soooo 1983

There’s a newish website called “Parent Hacks”, which is dedicated to ways to make parenting easier. The nice thing about that site is that most of the ideas aren’t “big” ideas or changes you need to make to your life – they are small changes (or “hacks”) that can make all the difference. In that …

Rolling Maggie Gathers no Dust?

Time for a Maggie update: Maggie has taken the first step in her move towards being a Rhodes scholar (or maybe a Road’s Scholar) – she has rolled over! I know it’s a big deal, all the baby books say so. I just wish I would do a better job cleaning up the floors so …

Temper Redux-ion

Over the last week or two, Sophie’s temper tantrums seemed to be getting worse. The final straw was on Friday, when she begged me to take her to work. I had to leave, and sadly) bolted the door when I left. It seemed like Sophie was in some big power struggle with us – was …

Poor poor pitiful Po

Sophie announced to us today that Po has diaper rash. When we took a look, sure enough, the Tellytubby had a red bottom. The best part is that Sophie took the initiative to put Desitin on her right away, leaving us to clean up.

Tilt-A-Whirl

Now that I post these entries, I’m able to recall all those things I forgot the first time around with Sophie. I suspect that my poor memory means that I have Alzheimer’s in the not too distant future (or I already have it and don’t remember). Maggie has started to do all the “baby” things …

Welcome to Southern Gal!

I’ve rented out some side space again, this time to Dana over at Southern Gal Goes North! She’s a humor writer who moved up from Alabama (Roll Tide!) up to Chicago (Roll a Vienna Hot Dog). Check out her blog, especially if you’ve ever been to Disneyland!
