Since Simon has done less shrieking for the last two days (Hooray for Mylanta and the new feeding schedule), I’ve spent more time reading to him. Kids’ lit can infect you very, very quickly. Just yesterday I finished reading Bear Snores On and realized I was beginning to think in bad rhyming verse. I was […]

Last Friday Simon and I had a fantastic day together. He fed well and slept well. He was happy. I read some books to him. We went out for a walk and enjoyed cool autumn weather. I sang silly songs to him and we danced around the house. He visited his Zadie and Nana. It […]
Today Simon is officially one month old. Wow. When did that happen? We’ve all changed in this last month. Simon for one is bigger and stronger, and he’s awake and alert much more of the day. I can barely burp him sitting in my lap now because he fights me so hard, and when we […]
Our darling little Simon, bless his heart, is a bit of a stink-pot. He comes out of his bath smelling fresh and sweet like all other babies, but within hours the little guy is stinky all over again. The problem is his spitting. Let’s do the math: Simon eats about 8 times a day. After […]
I’m going to make this brief because I’m terrified of jinxing myself and I want to run downstairs so I can more effectively eavesdrop on Matt’s band’s new singer; they are practicing as I type, and I have to be the Yoko. (“You’re the only one with any talent, Matt…”) Last night I did a […]
So, we haven’t posted for a few days because Simon has been fussy and we have been completely stressed and sleep deprived. And really, who wants to read “Simon cried for six hours yesterday, and Matt and I nearly lost our minds and seriously considered selling him on the black market”? (Note to social services […]
A brief ditty about new parents and the grocery. We decided to take Simon with us to Kroger this evening. He was bundled up in a light snowsuit, sitting in his carseat, and looking adorable. We enter Kroger and see that the carts with seats for kids are only appropriate for older kids. What the […]
Wearing his latest straight-from-the-UK fashions (courtesy of his pen-pal Thomas), Simon prepares to meet the hipsters at Highland Coffee Company while Mom and Dad get caffeinated. Despite how awake he is in this picture, he pretty much slept through the whole event. No coffee for Simon!
For the last few days, Simon has spent much more of his time awake. (Soon we’ll post new pics where Simon is doing something other than sleeping.) There’s a downside to this, as I can no longer plan on regularly spaced two-hour blocks of time to eat, go for walks, run errands, clean, read, knit,etc. […]
Today was Simon’s three-week birthday and his second trip to the pediatrician. As you can see, he had a great time at the office. At Simon’s last visit, he weighed 6 lbs, 10 ozs. They want babies his age to gain an ounce a day, so today he should have weighed 7 1/2 lbs. Well, […]
