Here’s some random tidbits that don’t warrant a full post: Murrow is deathly afraid of aluminum foil Kim can’t stop snacking on his sweet potato puffed baby snacks The singing purple alien that he found scary a few months ago is now the funniest thing in the world.

Murrow’s been so cute lately that the camera has been filling up quicker than this site.  Feel free to make up your own story.

Murrow waited until I had purchased all the required ingredients for making our own teeting biscuits to eschew them all together. Apparently, when he’s not actually teething, he has no interest in teething biscuits. Nevermind that everything else he gets his grubby little hands on ends up in his mouth.

Last week, the three of us finally made it out to a movie theater crying room near our home. It was just a row of five seats immediately behind a pane of glass. Kind of small and stuffy. But, we can’t really be too picky, now can we? What did we see? (In)appropriately, it was… Continue reading Claustrophobics, Beware

We were looking forward to heading downtown to get some pho and do some shopping today, but the snow kind of stymied those plans. Instead we stayed in, watched the unexpected snow fall, and I made up the first batch of homemade food for the Murster. Those little jars might have a use yet.

I LOVE having a kid. Now that we have Murrow, Kim and I finally have an excuse to buy those cool inflated balls that they sell at department stores.  The bonus is that Murrow likes playing with it too.

Tooth the First met Tooth the Second today. I called this one yesterday, thank you very much. A second little pearly white poked its little head up this morning. Good thing we stocked up on some store-bought teething biscuits the other day (Abbie’s mom has passed along a recipe for home made biscuits that we’ll… Continue reading Tooth’s Best Friend

So, every day, for like the past three months, I’ve declared that I think Murrow’s teething. Yesterday Poppa says that he will pop one out today. Guess what? After a fitful night, he woke up with a pearly white (well, right now it’s just something hard that’s barely broken the surface) in the bottom right… Continue reading About Freakin’ Time

Since before the dance class, Murrow and I have been doing the tango around the house, at the store, at coffeeshops… He loves it, especially the part where I dip him at the end. Must be the Argentine in his blood. The only part he doesn’t get is the fact that you’re supposed to do… Continue reading It Takes Two
