Bumps, bottles, and Biba, oh my!
June 30, 2009 at 11:37 am
This week Sylvie came down with a bad case of baby acne. Overnight she went from a soft and smooth baby complexion to one that rivals those found in any high school homeroom. The poor thing is covered in bumps on her face, neck, ears, and even on her scalp. Luckily it doesn’t seem to [...]

June 25, 2009 at 8:43 pm
Our very good friends Danielle and Robby and their daughter Maggie came to visit all last week. We had a great time hanging out with them and miss them already. (Just move back already, D!) On Thursday the 18th, Danielle and I took our girls into Boston. In what is sure to become an annual [...]

We have a thumb sucker!
June 23, 2009 at 2:27 pm
She found her thumb on Day 6 (with a little help from Grandma). She works hard to find it at least once a day, and she’s surprisingly coordinated at getting at least her fist in her mouth. She always finds her thumb in the Ergo carrier. Hopefully she won’t suck her thumb as long as [...]

Week one of Sylvie’s life was a whirlwind of visitors and merriment. Sylvie’s visitors included Grandma Linda, Grandpa, Mary, Ilene, Andrew M., Kathy, Steve, Phoebe, Julia, Andrew A, Sonia, Nuno, and Jason. (Hopefully I remembered everybody!) Grandma Linda stayed with us from Sunday through Friday and was an enormous help. She cooked, cleaned, held the [...]
Behind the name
June 23, 2009 at 1:31 pm
So, I’m a big name geek and was reading websites about baby names years before we even got pregnant. I started baby name lists back when I was in college (and am still waiting to see one of these, Noël!). Jon, on the other hand, could not have cared less about names. In the beginning, [...]
