Since mothers are supposed to be placing babies on their backs to sleep these days (something that decreases the risk of SIDS), we’re also supposed to give them daily time on their tummies. This helps them develop certain muscle sets and keeps the backs of their heads from becoming misshapen. The problem is that most [...]

It was cool and rainy again today. Austin was listening to Arvo Part, which seemed to fit the mood of the day. I ran to the Kinko’s in Coolidge Corner to make a photocopy and decided to walk home. It was only lightly misting then, and I had a good umbrella, so I took the [...]

He’s started two new things in the last week: laughing out loud (sort of a gurgling chortle) and sleeping through the night (9 hours straight)! I’m hoping that’ll become a habit!

August is waning and so is the summer. The tourists are thinning out a bit (though there will be another rush when the leaves are colorful). My favorite season is on its way!

Sam had some wiggles to get out of his system last night before bedtime. You should see how energetic his little dances are. He’s a fast mover. I don’t know what we’re going to do when he starts crawling!
P.S. Don’t forget to make your guesses on the [...]

Ok, I made this one much, much easier than the last one. I’ll be posting the answers on Friday, so you have until then to guess as many or as few as you think you know!

I love coffee cans. They come filled with something I love even more… coffee! And when they’re empty, they’re still useful. For kids, they make great drums, piggy banks (cut a slit in the lid), or rattles (just throw in a few dry beans)! For kids and grown-ups, they make great containers! There are always [...]

While you were out with your friends or sweetheart on Friday night, enjoying a relaxing evening, Sam was hard at work.
You’ll notice he has started enjoying his baths. He finally figured out that water splashes!

Our friend, Allie, has a live-in job with a very kind family that allows her to have (small, quiet) parties at their home. Last night, she hosted a sort of “girls’ night out” with a huge, home-cooked dinner. She made three kinds of soup (I had the mulligatawny - mmmm), three kinds of bread (from [...]

…for the first time! Maya and I “met” in an online discussion and soon discovered we were the same age, lived in the same state, and were due to have babies at about the same time. As it turned out, her son Ethan was born one day before Sam was. So when she brought [...]
