Month: September 2007

Just a random (that’s for you, Uncle Two Belts) smattering of things we’ve been into lately. The brown bear hoodie – Cute, cute, cute. Whoever thought up the toddler hoodie is a kid-fashion genius. Cell phones – Poppa keeps his phone in his shirt pocket. Murrow knows this. Murrow digs it out, plays with it,… Continue reading These Are a Few of Our Favorite Things

Silly Auntie Ali (does she know we call her that) “tagged” Momma and Poppa with a blogging questionaire thingamajigamadoodle. But Momma and Poppa don’t have blogs of their own, so Murrow will be taking this one for the team. HA! Two names you go by: 1. Murry-mo 2. Duder Two things you are wearing right… Continue reading Tagged

Today Jasmine (Murrow’s nanny) had to call in sick…meaning Poppa gets to have his first full-day alone with Murrow. Not to let this opportunity go to waste, Murrow was wisked off to the zoo for some giraffe feeding, gorilla watching, and stroller pushing (see the previous video) mayhem.

He was using a fork (pre-spiked with food) today. He’s growing out of all his 12-month… Continue reading All Grown’d Up

Way back when Murrow wasn’t eating so well, we stopped trying to sign with him because the whole thing was just too frustrating, and we never picked it back up. Recently, though, he started holding out his hand palm-up and curling his fingers, also known as the international sign for “Gimme”. Ok, so it’s not… Continue reading Mother, Might I Have Some More, Please

When Poppa leaves for work, Murrow says ba-bye and waves (it’s kind of a backwards wave, more at himself than at the object of the ba-bye) and blows kisses. At this point he’s all smiles and giggles. About 5 minutes before the nanny gets here, Murrow starts getting clingy and whiny, not letting me get… Continue reading Double Standard
