Murrow’s been a milestone monkey this past week…unfortunately we don’t have any pictures to provide it. You’ll just have to trust us: Today at his second 5th of July party he took his first steps. Poppa missed the first one, but was there when he took 4 (mostly to pivot). His 7th tooth has popped… Continue reading Milestones Minus the Images

Artis would be proud of our little spoonman. Since he’s been grabbing at the spoon so much lately we thought we’d let him try feeding himself the yogurt for a change. Needless to say, we all jumped into the bath after this set of photos.

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

I know I’m not the first parent to find a pile of unraveled toilet paper on the bathroom floor. There is nothing more fun, apparently, than batting at the roll and watching the paper cascade off. I can’t wait until Murrow discovers how to flush the toilet. Seriously. That might actually be fun to watch.

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
