Making it official everywhere
We are moving back to Boston. The date is not yet settled on, but we're working with an April 1 target. I am kind of freaking out, in no small part because of the unsettled date/means of going. I like things to be definite! I'm sure i will be posting progressively more unhinged things here as the move comes along ( Read more... ) -
14 months
I am overdue (by my own timetable) for an Anton update. I always think I'm going to remember everything and I don't need to write it down, but it's clearly already not the case.
So the short version is "he's awesome, but he has learned to throw temper tantrums." ( Here is the non-short version... ) -
drowning in snot
The title sums it up--A and I have incredibly disgusting snotty colds and have for days now. T has a cold as well but is somehow not constantly dripping, the lucky bastard. I am spending my days wiping a small nose what seems like constantly. The cold is also completely ruining the poor little man's ability to sleep. He has spent more and more time ( Read more... ) -
A whole freaking year
This time last year I was moving into Hour 19 of labor and wondering if my baby was going to be born yet today. Answer: no. The small person we gave a ridiculously big name to made his appearance on November 25 at 1:45 am and tonight I am sitting here alone (everyone else is asleep) thinking about my wee boy and how really indescribably happy I am ( Read more... ) -

so tiiiiiiired
Man oh man oh man, the kid took another leap. He's standing and cruising along the furniture and taking steps when you hold his hands and he has finally started to respond to his name and he knows NO means "I have three more seconds to do this before Mom moves me." We need a whole new level of babyproofing, but I can't stop watching him long enough ( Read more... ) -
more news from the world of babyman
So, it's nearly midnight, which means Anton is nearly eight months old. He's had a big week. I think he's making some big steps forward, which is leaving him a bit crankier and inclined to longer naps than he has been previously. He's still wonderful, though. He's going to be a holy terror as a teenager and possibly an axe murderer as he's using up ( Read more... ) -

eeek! It's been so long!
More than a month since my last post, to be precise. Didn't really mean for that to happen, but I kind of didn't notice since I've been posting to lazy_hoor's We Like To Read group, which I partially inspired her to start, yay, and which is good times so far ( Read more... )
