This is what’s come to be known as the scrunchy face (we LOVE scrunchy face) Dear Readers, This website has always been about ME. So the last month has been a bit of a departure. Now it appears to be all about HIM. As Jerry likes to say, “Not that […]

Lying in wait My poor child is being forced to like animals. How can he escape, really — he’s surrounded here at home. And even the visit to grandma’s involves a dog. Teagon, the dog in question, introduced him to face licks this past weekend. Juliette has been minding her […]

Now y’all can stop bugging me (but don’t expect more self portraits!)

Cute puppy…creepy girl’s voice Is it bad to be slightly excited when it’s Devin’s naptime? I mean, when else can I clean the house, flip through a catalog, check my email, write out more announcement cards, and scoop dog poop (it’s too dark when my husband gets home)? Is it […]

Laurel entertained him quite nicely Well, I knew he was a happy guy, but he sure impressed me with his behavior today. I took him to my client to visit and he was inundated with admirers. He was passed from person to person without a fuss or cry to be […]

He likes visitors (here, with Stacy) so come on by! I’m not scared about Halloween and all the little monsters roaming about. Nope. I’m just a tiny bit scared of being left to my own devices with Mr. Devin on Monday. That’s the day my husband returns to work after […]

Yes, that’s a booger on his nose. Wanna make something of it?

This was before the anger set in I stand by my original assessment of Devin. He’s a happy baby. A friendly, outgoing baby. But, like any person, he has his limits. Those limits were met yesterday when what started out as sniffling and coughing turned into a full-blown cold accompanied […]

Awake and happy (this one’s for you, Gail!) I’ve always been good at taking naps. I’d come home from work around 1:00 or 2:00 and the bed would be calling my name. But, mind you, these were short sleep sessions. I’m talking maybe 15 minutes or so usually. So when […]

Sleeping…again This is not becoming a baby blog, I promise. As in the photo above, he spends a lot of time sleeping, recovering from jet lag and oodles of new experiences that have obviously tuckered him out. And, truly, I haven’t had the energy to take photos during our play […]

While he was sleeping We didn’t know how big the little squirt was going to be when he arrived. As a precaution, anyone who’s been giving us clothes (mostly Grandma) has started at 12 months and gone up from there. He’s an average-size baby, though, so what we really need […]

To tide you over Yesterday is both a blur and a frame-by-frame experience for me. The blurring probably started at about 1:00 in the morning when Devin, thinking he was still in Korea, figured that being up and about was the norm. At the same time, my eyelids were drooping […]
