Today was very eventful for Murrow.  He got to wear his unabomber outfit for the first time (we’re still trying to find the right baby sunglasses) and he went to his first dance class with Momma.  Murrow even has a new trick he learned in class, the wheelbarrow pose. Kim lifts his feet up in the… Continue reading The Unabomber Wheelbarrow

Kim and I love how well Murrow eats.  So far he’s eaten everything we’ve put in front of him, peas, sweet potato, winter squash, pears, pears & raspberries, garden vegetables, etc.  Today, we found something he won’t eat.  Spinach and potatoes.  Not only did he make the yucky, gaggy, face.  He actually threw up after… Continue reading Murrow is not SweePea

Nordstrom’s sent us the “official” photo of Murrow and Santa.  Not too shabby, better than poppa’s quick camera-phone images…although Murrow looks old and wrinkly. Next year, hopefully we’ll remember to get reservations for the Santa, rather than waiting in line for another 3 hours.  But if he enjoys the process as much as this year,… Continue reading The Official Santa Photo

Murrow’s first Christmas was a blast, we listened to Christmas songs, watched It’s A Wonderful Life and the Christmas Story…then had our traditional Chinese food dinner.  Murrow’s big gift this year was the Oxford English Dictionary.  It is so huge 9 pages are compressed onto each page and it comes with a magnifying glass to read the… Continue reading First Christmas

It seems a shame that Christmas is just one day, so we spent most of the weekend opening presents, buying more presents, and just wrapping everything in site.  Murrow got a spinning ball, learning thing-a-ma-jiggy, which he took to immediately, a neglectful-parent-machine (aka exersaucer) which he loves, and a copy of TaxCut in a DVD… Continue reading Pre-Christmas Merriment

Now that Murrow is sitting up extremely well, Kim and I decided it was time to remove the incline sling from his bath.  The fun part of this change is he can now play with the water a bit more.  He hasn’t quite figured out that you can’t catch a stream of water and put it in… Continue reading Big Boy Bather

Murrow met Santa Claus for the first time yesterday and although we don’t have the “official” picture yet (they still use real film … freaks), here’s a few that Poppa took (including one from the camera phone).  Full story after the jump.

Here’s another one you can skip over if you’re easily disgusted… Lately, little Mo’s been sucking up the solid foods, eating up to an entire jar+ in one sitting. He’s even taken to the green foods and foods mixed with cereal, where previously he would only open his mouth for the orange stuff. And it’s… Continue reading Diaper Play-Doh

Murrow’s nickname of the moment is Meester (pronounced me-stir) Fuzzyhead, for obvious reasons.  He was born with a full head of hair, then it all fell out, and it is slowly being replaced with the softest, cutest, most uncontrollable hair imaginable.  He’s like a really drooly q-tip nowadays.

As you can see in the photo, Uncle Two Belts and Murrow got along great while he was in town.  UTB was in town working on his reflexes and parenting skills.  He still has a bit of work to do on his snap-second baby catching skills.
