Blanky (alt. pronunciations include Banky and Keh) – This is the large green afghan that Kim made Murrow (thanks for the yarn Ali), that he sleeps with. It’s his favorite blanky, which he’ll try to snag from the crib through the slats. Panky – This is the light purple afghan that Oma made him, that… Continue reading Blanket Glossary

Kim and Murrow went all out for Father’s Day this year. You know it’ll be a good day when a creepy-handmade-Murrow-head-note-holder greets you at breakfast. Murrow sported his new “My Dad is a Geek” shirt while we played at the Pacific Science Center. We tried to teach him how to say naked mole rat without… Continue reading Father’s Day of Geekery

Murrow has definitely started connecting sounds with objects. Unfortunately, he’s still got alot of work ahead of him, before he can be a good speacher like his Poppa. We’ve already written about his use of “Kih” to mean “Kitty”, but he also uses “Keh” for “Blanky”. He’ll repeat the Pah sound, which I take to… Continue reading Ukini

Well, Murrow is sick again. I’m guessing he caught it from the ultra-friendly kid at the playground, who asked if Murrow would like to play, then made Murrow giggle when he kept on lunging at our baby boy going “Boo!”. Poor guy has a fever and isn’t in the mood to do much of anything,… Continue reading Pah-thetic

Murrow is only a year old, so we don’t expect him to understand everything yet…but you’d think it’d be easy enough to grasp that the point of the slide is to go down it. However, he’s only truly content when he’s trying to scamper up the slide. He can get about a third of the… Continue reading Scamps

Murrow has officially outgrown his infant tub and has graduated to the real thing…the big boy bath. He’s free to explore the new frontier, pulling the bath plug, chewing on the faucet, and reaching for the hot and cold water handles.

Oma and Opa came for a visit during the Memorial Day weekend, spreading wisdom like “Move to Colorado”, “Buy a ski boat”, and “Move to Colorado.” Of course we had to put them to work painting our new bench (thanks Randy), putting together our new table, and walking 40+ miles a day. In between all… Continue reading Oma and Opa in Seattle

Murrow’s growing so big that he now gets to sit at the big boy table…complete with big boy high chair, big boy harness, and big boy crumb catcher. He’s taken to his new position in the house with style, kicking his feet onto the table whenever he’s eating. It makes it really difficult to grab… Continue reading At the Big Boy Table
