color un-coordinated
This is what happens when one loses the lynch pin of one’s wardrobe. All color hell breaks loose. Matters not to him of course. He just keeps on swingin’:

carnivores, haircut
Things seem to be back to normal around here, so, as I was saying…
* * *
Food for thought:
Over a lunch of Moroccan lamb sausages, beef/rice/allspice/raisin stuffing, and salad today, Scott asks: “Do you think it would have worked out between us if I had been a vegetarian?”

Can a haircut make you a better […]

blog broken
There’s so much I want to share. Pictures of his first professional haircut. The funny thing Scott said this morning.
Not to mention how I’ve lost my categories and archives lists on the left.
My blog is broken. There’s a memory error and I can’t fix it. I’ve had 3 conversations with Blue Host, but so far, […]

joy and sorrow
Today Jonah had his first trip to the “Little Farm.” We’ll have to go again at least one more time, because his father wasn’t with us. But we’ll probably go more often than that because he loved it.
He kicked his legs and giggled and sucked in little joyful sucks of air and cooed at the […]

lost lid
We lost the hat. The most excellent lid. His signature piece.
This time, it’s gone for good.
Dear internets, please help us find another one? Anyone out there have a brown Gap bucket hat they want to sell? Size 6-12 months.
Sigh.

sleep, ad nauseum
Dear Jonah,
Last night, at bedtime, you laid in your crib and screamed FOR AN HOUR.
How does that happen? Well, as far as we can tell, you woke up at 5 a.m. yesterday, and just flat-out wouldn’t nap all day long. Oh, except for two 20-minute-ish post-nursing snoozes on my lap. You were happy happy happy […]

just breathe
It was a day when he’d napped for two whole hours. Waking around 12:30 p.m. in dare-I-say? a delightful mood.
Diaper change, sit in the living room. What will we do next? Oh, lunch probably.
And then it starts. Like a hiccup, but no hic. -cup, -cup, -cup. His little body rhythmically convulsing, a slightly startled look […]

oh, phooey
I can’t seem to get a picture of the haircut that even shows it’s a haircut. He looks the same. Basically. Here are my attempts.
Right after wet combing:
After toppling over (note we now put him in the pack n play for safer toppling):
Note also the rakish appearance. From his beloved head wiggling while lying […]

baby’s first haircut
So I cut his hair for the first time on Sunday. I kind of regret it, though Scott says it looks nice.
It’s just that it was getting so long in the back. And I’ll admit that the more than once he/she mistake from strangers was starting to bug me. But mostly, I just thought it […]
