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.
Return of Kih
That’s right. After a month and a half of wandering out there in the cold and wet neighborhood, the cat returned home this weekend, meowing and extremely skinny, but remarkably friendly. Murrow even seems to remember her, taking up his “Kih” exactly where it left off when she left. And Kitty (well, her name is… Continue reading Return of Kih
Oma and Opa in Seattle
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

At the Big Boy Table
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
Where’d That Band-Aid Go, Anyway?
It’s always reassuring when, at your son’s 12-month visit, his doctor expresses that, my, she’s never seen a kid with so many allergies. Despite this, yesterday’s appointment went pretty well. Murrow actually managed to put on some weight since the last visit, something he hasn’t done in a long time. He was happy as a… Continue reading Where’d That Band-Aid Go, Anyway?
Say Mamamamama
It came too late for Mother’s Day, but he’s finally gotten that “mmm” sound down. And, boy, has he! He’s been taking this new sound for a ride, throwing out everything else from his non-vocabulary. Of course, I don’t really think that he’s actually saying “Momma”. But it’s fun to think so.
They Say It’s Your Birthday
Just think, it was only a year ago that they wheeled me into the operating room and cut the little bugger out of me. Back then he couldn’t walk on his own, eat on his own, talk on his own… OK, so maybe he hasn’t changed all that much since then. Murrow woke up today… Continue reading They Say It’s Your Birthday

Standing Tall … For 2 Seconds
Murrow loves to crawl so much that it has been hard to get him thinking about standing on his own or walking. But Valerie had the bright idea of using Murrow’s fear of grass to get him to stand…which works suprisingly well. His hatred of putting his hands on the grass keeps him upright and… Continue reading Standing Tall … For 2 Seconds
