Not only has poor Kenny had to contend with tooth number five breaking through his tender gums for the last two days, but today was insult to injury. On our walk — the same walk we take everyday — he was viciously attacked by a swarm of wicked mosquitoes, unbeknownst to me. Upon taking him […]

Mama Needs Some Sugar
I had every intention of writing last night, but was hit unexpectedly by the speeding bullet of a clogged duct. (I don’t need to explain any further for all you Moms out there.) No one said that weaning was a picnic, but I hardly expected to have any physical issues, since I’m going […]
Solitude
This morning, as the Kenny-man announced his intentions to start the day at 6:05 AM, after another late-to-bed night for the family, I started wondering if I would ever get to sleep more than 6 hours a night again this side of heaven. Casey, the saint in blue-checked pjs, took pitty on his poor, […]
The Power of Imitation
Kenny is really starting to catch on to the idea of imitating what I do. It’s facinating to watch him watch me, then mimic the moves or expressions I make. I was baking a couple of cakes in the kitchen today, and he sat on the floor with his own pots and pans […]
Take Me Out to the Ballgame
Can it be nearly three days since last I wrote? Time is flying…. and our house has been a veritable HGTV commercial for the last 48 hours. Yesterday a very imposing man installed our new flat screen TV for 6 hours. Today there were 7 men chopping down the enormous hickory tree […]
This is not for Wimps
Today started off pleasantly enough. Casey and I awoke to the sounds of giggles and baby talk over the monitor ~ Kenny was in great spirits, and so happy to see Casey walk in to his room that he squealed and danced on his little feet. In fact, Kenny was a model […]
And Another in the Week of Firsts
We took Kenny to his first Oriole’s game last night… I can honestly say that I’ve never seen that little guy so happy! So much to see, to hear, to smell, to taste… he was in his element. And later on we found out that he was featured for about 10 seconds on […]
First Steps, Part 2
If yesterday Kenny took his first unassisted steps, then tonight marks the first unassisted, uncompelled steps. He stood up on his own, teetered for a moment like a drunken sailor looking left and right, then one… two… three… four… five! And plop down on the rump. He even had an audience of 10 […]
A Most Unlikely Aquaintance
Every morning, Kenny and I take Dudley for a walk. This is not an optional part of our day. People ask me how I got back into shape so fast after the baby, and I simply reply, “Workout by Weimaraner.” These dogs don’t just like their daily walks; if they get skipped, […]
A Step in History
I haven’t much time to write tonight, but I had to at least chronical the news: Kenny walked for the first time today! For the past few weeks he’s been mighty close – walking like a miniature speed racer behind his little push car, occasionally stopping to take one, single, precious step out from the […]
