Exersaucin’
September 13, 2009 at 10:19 pm
After seeing how much fun she had in Frankie’s, we dragged the exersaucer (that Sarah so generously lent us) up from the basement. Sylvie’s not really quite big enough yet, so we keep her sessions brief, but, man, does she love the thing! And there weren’t even batteries installed! I think it’s just exciting for [...]
Joselyn made me buy it!

That’s going to be my defense when big-kid Sylvie drags out these pictures and demands to know why I subjected her to such a silly, oversized accessory. Oh, who am I kidding? It was too cute to pass up!

Sylvie went on her first two hikes this past week. Over Labor Day weekend we discovered Mt. Misery in Lincoln with our friends Frank, Meg, and Frankie. On Tuesday we visited Walden Pond with Tara (which was a first for mama, too). As expected, Sylvia of the Forest was completely mesmerized by the trees and [...]

This is the sight I’m greeted with as I get ready for bed. Sylvie is fast asleep in her crib, in her own room, perfectly content with her new surroundings. Why is she ready for this before I am? I already miss her! Why is this a good idea again? Update: Well, she did 11 [...]

Sylvie was mesmerized by the visual patterns of the sun-dappled leaves and was alert and quietly attentive for the whole trip. We [...]
The baby is conspiring with rodents
September 3, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Yesterday, I heard a knock on the door while I was putting Sylvie down for a nap. She was almost asleep, so I ignored it. Later, I happened to look outside and saw that our fabulous neighbor, Tashi, had left the following on the porch: Beans, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, basil, parsley, thyme, lavender, dill, rosemary, [...]
Dear Sylvie (at 3 months)
September 2, 2009 at 11:01 pm
Dear Baby Girl/Boody Dooda/Chief Ridiculous/Doober Dees, As your next “birthday” approached, everyone kept telling me that the 3-month-mark is known to be a huge milestone and a behavioral turning point. I can already see what they meant and I am excited to see what’s in store over the next month. As always, you have kept [...]
