Yes, the moment has arrived. I have entered the world of music technology. I now own an iPod. It’s a nano, and it’s very mini and very cute. It’s taken me awhile to jump aboard the iPod hysteria wagon. I don’t participate in any of the activities that the use of an iPod would enhance: [...]

He never ceases to amaze me. This morning Ryan crawled up our entire staircase. That’s 15 stairs. I was behind him the whole way, but he accomplished it all by himself. Should I be proud? Impressed? Scared? He’s eight months and three days old. Is this unusual? Should I expect him to be scaling the [...]

I knew.
The moment I laid eyes on the gigantic black yard bag under the tree, I knew it was going to be a gift for Ryan. I also knew anything of that magnitude could not be good for our home decor.

No, you aren’t seeing things. That’s FatJ himself, skating. Look at that fine form.
Ryan and I made a trip into St. Paul today to witness this miraculous event. For the first time in 10 years, FatJ donned a pair of skates and circled the rink with a few of his favorite co-workers. How cool is [...]

So about a month ago I posted that Ryan had achieved mobility in the form of rolling/scootching around. He’s been improving upon his technique since then, and about a week ago perfected the formal crawl.
Well this week things have changed for us. Bigtime. He’s everywhere. Moving from one room to the next, finding things I [...]

Sort of. The tree is up and hasn’t fallen over yet. One stocking is hung. A few non-chochki decorations are around. And Leila hasn’t eaten any ornaments or decapitated any wisemen yet (nor has Ryan), so we’re doing well.
We went to get our tree on Saturday. Once again, we were treated to quality service and [...]
