Me Want Eat That

Jasper has been expressing his interest in food – beyond just the breastmilk variety. And he has not been subtle about it. He has been reaching out for our food and beverages for a few weeks now. On Sunday we had brunch with our friends Robin and Jason and their daughter Sophie (who is only [...]

5 Months

I know, we haven’t been so good at updating.  Who knew, having a baby, working full-time, and buying a condo and packing takes up time!  
At anyrate, the little bug is five months old today. The fastest five months of my life.

He rolls, he talks, he laughs.  He can push himself up so high on [...]

giant baby

I just realized we never posted a post-doctor visit note.  At any rate, Jasper had his 4 month checkup last week. And as usual, he’s huge.  17 pounds 6 oz, and 27.17 inches long (cousin Josie, watch out, he’s going to be towering over you soon)!  And he’s healthy as a horse and all that. [...]

Where to Begin?

To start, Jasper is now 4 months, 1 day; officially in his 5th month! Time flies when you have a baby. He is getting so big and doing new things all the time. Jasper’s newest trick is to flip from his back to his stomach. However, he hasn’t figured out how to get onto his [...]

16 weeks

At just shy of 16 weeks, I feel like Jasper’s getting so old. And he can DO so much now.  He uses his hands all the time, which to someone without a baby that probably sounds like a boring cause for celebration.  But for the longest time, his hands were just appendeges that he flung [...]

Conceivable

I can’t believe I missed posting this by two days!  Time flies when you sleep less.
One year ago, on April 6th 2008, at 10am (a Sunday), in a tiny exam room at Fenway Health, with the help of a nice nurse practitioner named Erin and a wee vial of expensive sperm, we conceived a Jasper.  And how [...]

Happy Birthday

This past Friday (March 27th) marked Jasper’s 3 month birthday. And, Saturday was Abby’s 29th birthday! Happy Birthday! For Abby’s big 2-9 we bought a Nintendo Wii and WiiFit. It’s a lot of fun…and can be quite addictive. Abby is really good at tennis and bowling while I am a homerun queen.
We also had our [...]

I love Cambridge

I do.  I love Cambridge.  In particular, I currently love the Cambridge Public Library.  The other day, just as Kristy promised, we received a package from the library.  It had a big stamp on the outside that said “baby gifts enclosed.”  And inside was a tote bag, three books, an application for a library card, [...]

Teething?

You’d think it would be easier to get Sophie the giraffe into your mouth if you unclenched your fists.  But apparently no, this is the way to go.
“Watch!  I can put my fist in my mouth!  I just need the other hand to guide it in…”

Lessons learned in Texas

Back home, and we’ve just about got Jasper’s sleep schedule back to normal.  Last night he slept from 8:30pm to 3am.  I barely know how to sleep for so long anymore.  At any rate, we had a great trip.  The weather wasn’t super–it was 45 and cloudy on Saturday, and 45 and rainy Sunday morning.
