Sledding

Out friends Mrinal and Vivek gave us this neat little baby sled.  It has a seat back, and straps so the baby won’t fall off.  We had a blast dragging Tyler around in the snow with it yesterday.  He particularly liked it when we would fall down in the almost-knee-deep snow, that gave him a… Continue reading Sledding

Belly Farts and Belly Laughs

Tyler and I were home by ourselves today.  Kevin was out plowing, yet another 6″ of snow having fallen during the night.  After chasing the “todd” around for awhile playing “let’s get mommy” and then “let’s get baby”, I was ready for a break.  Thankfully, Tyler is young enough that me lying on my side… Continue reading Belly Farts and Belly Laughs

Walking!!

Tyler took his first steps today! He has been seriously working on it for about a week now, standing upright (without any support) and sort of shuffling his feet, but today he took about 5 or 6 full-fledged steps! He walked about 3-4 feet from beside the highchair to where I was kneeling, over by… Continue reading Walking!!

Yo, Ma!

I always thought that a baby’s first word would be some sort of definitive event, like he would look at me and say “mama” or at Kevin and say “dada”, and it would be clear that he has said his first word.  Turns out it’s not like that, it seems like it’s a lot more… Continue reading Yo, Ma!
