Fast times and wild living with (the former) Baby Whozit…

Simon has recently picked up the expression “the usual” (as in, “bartender, gimme the usual”) from a Daffy Duck cartoon, and has been champing at the bit to try it out in public. Since I rarely take Simon to bars, he figured that maybe the ice cream shop would be a good place to try [...]

Simon announced he wanted to play basketball tonight, which was an inspired idea, as we play in the cool, cool basement, and today was the hottest, most humid day of the year so far. After a few warm up shots, Simon ran towards the basket for his new lay-up move. BOOM! Simon was down on [...]
This is why I think Simon is the easiest two-year-old in the world. We were upstairs tonight getting him into his PJ’s, and since Simon is really interested in numbers these days and also likes to point out clocks, I decided to introduce him to the wild world of digital alarm clocks. “See these numbers, [...]
With less than twenty-four hours to go before Kentucky’s Democratic primary election, Simon has decided to throw his support behind candidate Barack Obama. What finally encouraged him to make a decision and go public with it? This evening’s news reported that Michelle Obama appeared in Louisville today reading The Runaway Bunny to kids at Kosair [...]
Yesterday was a tough day. I was feeling a little off, but Jessica was a complete wreck from her continuing bout with the stomach bug. She was exhausted from being up almost all night the night before and still achy and sick. I decided that if there was ever any reason to take a sick [...]

As most of you already know, the okcomputer.org server suffered a catastrophic disk failure back in October and my back-up scheme was, er, less than optimal. I’ve spent the last three months trying to put the pieces of the old server back together, while Jessica just started a new blog from scratch over at wordpress.com. [...]

We’ve been waiting to hear about Ian and Christine’s new baby ever since Ian called us from the hospital 36 hours ago! When we hadn’t heard anything by midnight tonight, we figured that we would just hear about the birth in the morning. But for whatever reason Jessica couldn’t fall asleep tonight and just happened [...]
Man! Taking care of Simon is such hard work. Really — it is! It’s not all sleeping and snuggling, no matter what the photographic evidence seems to indicate. I mean, I was up from 3:00 – 4:00 AM this morning dancing and bouncing and singing song after song after song trying to get a totally [...]
Simon hit twelve weeks old today, and in celebration of that fact (as well as the realization that we had taken no pictures of him in 2007 yet) Mom went a bit crazy with the digital camera. First there’s a series of glamor shots taken on the day bed in our guest bedroom (a.k.a. Mom’s [...]
