You’ll note that I wrote ‘meets’ and not ‘eats’, as we are not quite sure right now how much of the food actually went into the mouth, down the throat and reached the belly. Oh yes, there was redistribution of food to be sure – it did go from the bowl, to the spoon, to […]
I should really go to bed right now (Mike’s out of town and I’ve started back at work. I’ve learned that it takes me 2 1/2 to 3 hrs between getting up and arriving at my desk, what with getting myself and the boy and all of our crap out the door and to the […]
Mike, Action Jackson and I would all like to wish you smooth sailing for 2009!! Big smooches, k, m and aj If you’d like to see more photos of our man in uniform go to: Hello, Sailor!
Our baby boy is growing up fast. Despite his having a cold the past week, he’s still packing on the pounds (he was 13 lbs 9 oz when he was weighed over a week ago, so he’s probably over 14 by now), he’s making developmental advances – smiling, really arching his back and lifting his […]
While a great time was had by all in Minneapolis we did end up making a few ‘friends’ that we could do without. Both Mike and Jackson came down with colds. Mike got some sorta bronchial thing and is on antibiotics. Jackson has been battling a fever and has had congestion so he snorts and […]

So what did November 2nd bring besides daylight savings? Why Stripey McStriperson of course! Once again our super pals Alex and Lara sent Jackson a care package full of clothes and fun things for him to grow into. We broke into the 21 pound box of wardrobe delights – hey, they don’t mess around! – […]
So our dear sweet baby boy is 2 months today. I can’t believe it- it seems both longer and shorter. I guess that’s what happens to time when it’s suddenly chopped up by feeding and crying and changing a small person, it starts to ebb and flow in its own type of rhythm. How did […]
I know I am the boy’s mother, and now that I don’t go to work, I spend a lot of time looking at him and thinking about him and being with him. So yes, objectivity left a long time ago, probably ran off with ‘good night sleep’ and ‘Mike and Kirsten alone time’ to be […]
