As some of you might know, Kim and I have been looking for a baby-sized straitjacket for awhile now. Murrow-dini would constantly wiggle out of his swaddling and wake up midway through his sleep. Thankfully our PEPS facilitator showed us the glories of the double swaddle this week. For those of you unfamiliar with the… Continue reading Baby Straitjacket
Baby vs. Hard Drive II
Kim and I are definitely guilty of the binge photography. Today when we dressed up Murrow in one of his cute outfits that he finally fits into, we ended up taking 60 or so photos in a half hour. I always think that I’ll be able to just pick the cutest ones to keep, but… Continue reading Baby vs. Hard Drive II
Out of the Bucket
Kim and I still love our stroller (a poppa obsession), but now Murrow has gotten alot better at keeping his head up, we’re trying to use the baby bjorn more. He loves it, but we have to keep a burp cloth hanging off the front of it to catch the gallons of drool that he’s… Continue reading Out of the Bucket
Everyone ia
When I was a little girl, someone showed me how when you look at the big lines in your left and right palms, they spell ,respectively, “ai ia.” In Vietnamese, once you add the appropriate wavy marks over certain letters, this means “who poops?” This is a popular conversation starter with Murrow. The answer is,… Continue reading Everyone ia
Our Good Little Speacher
The little man’s been chatting up a storm lately. We usually sit after breakfast and have a little conversation, conducted mostly in oohs and ahhs. He’s also started to laugh with mamma, but I don’t think he quite gets the jokes yet. He just wants to laugh when mamma laughs.
Let’s Go to the Movies
One of the theaters downtown has a special baby-friendly screening every Tuesday morning. We went last week and again today. Murrow spent the time eating and napping. Like papa, like son.
Rhymes With “Thoroughfare”
So, here’s a song I sing to the Murster. No particular tune or tempo, just whatever he’s in the mood for. I know he likes it because he usually ends up hurling afterwards. What other proof do you need? Hey Meester Murrow You’re my little churro You ride your little burro Down the thoroughfare I… Continue reading Rhymes With “Thoroughfare”
Damn the Men with Careful Smiles
Murrow has been giving out the smiles all over the place lately. It seems that getting him to smile has become our sole occupation…funny faces, funny dances, funny songs. You name it, we do it. It’s actually quite disgusting, so we can’t go out into the public anymore.
Roll over, roll over
There were seven in a bed And the little one said “Roll over, roll over” So they all rolled over And one fell out Murrow had his first reunion this week with all the other babies that he knew from pregnancy and labor classes. The only thing cuter that Murrow is Murrow in a row… Continue reading Roll over, roll over
A New World Record
6 Hours. Mark this day. If Kim and I had the sleeping schedule of my dad then we could declare that Murrow slept through the night for the first time. 10:30 at night until 4:30 in the morning…not too shabby. It’s probably just a coincidence since last night was really active for him and he… Continue reading A New World Record
