For about a month we had been putting the boy down uber-wrapped, but awake, and he seemed to be able to get himself to sleep just fine. And he would sleep up to 12 hours. A couple days ago we decided to try it without the swaddle. The first night went about as well as… Continue reading Our Good Little Sleeper

Murrow had a big milestone today, he rolled over from his belly to his back.  The picture is of the happy (babies scream and yell and have watery eyes when they’re happy…right?) baby right after he rolled over for the first time.  It happened while poppa was at work, but when we were all together… Continue reading Proud Parents, Pissed Baby

Gary: We’ll take one of the Combi high chairs. Sales clerk 1: What color would you like, blue or orange. Sales clerk 2: You mean Caribbean or Desert Sun. Gary: We’ll take orange. Kim and I got Murrow a high chair today, even though he won’t be eating solids for at least another 7 weeks.

Murrow has been a great night sleeper ever since we learned the double swaddle, but recently he’s become a fussy napper.  The only place that he can get really comfortable is on Kim, even poppa’s plentiful stomach isn’t good enough for this connaisseur.  Although a part of me is jealous, I don’t envy the huge… Continue reading Asleep on a Sunbeam

As I mentioned in a previous post, the only thing cuter than Murrow alone is Murrow is a line of cute babies.  We got another chance for one of those photos during one of our recent peps group meetings.  So cute, so cute, so cute. 

Anything that is related to keeping Murrow the cutest little boy on the planet basically falls into Kim’s responsibility.  Snazzy outfit – check, trimmed nails – check, no nasty gunk in his neck folds – check.  Poppa’s responsibility is to make sure that we have baby bath photos to use as blackmail when he starts… Continue reading So Fresh and So Clean Clean

Murrow is his own menagerie. I call him my little BabyBeetleMonkeyBird, and he seems to like it, if only because he really seems to respond to the “B” sound. He’s a Beetle because when he’s on his back, he flails his arms and legs like a bug on its back. When he’s standing up (with… Continue reading BabyBeetleMonkeyBird

It seems that just in the past week Murrow has gotten alot better at grabbing and manipulating things.  Mostly things are just going straight to his mouth, but heck, its a start.

Kim got a brand new mac about a month ago so that she could start doing some freelance work from home (why she needed the cute black one, I have no idea).  Apple added on a fun new feature, where every mac now comes with a camera built-in and a program called photo booth, so… Continue reading Photo Booth

Sung to the tune of the Java Jive. Gary disapproves of the rhyming of “pop” with “lollipop.” Baby doesn’t seem to mind. I love Murrow, yes I do I love the Murrow, even when he poos Murrow and me He’s got stinky feet But, then again, his mamma’s feet stink, too.
