baby-tude

today seb is an absolute grump, so i’m sitting here trying to ignore him and thinking of the charming stuff he did this week to distract myself from yelling at him. a particularly cute thing he did this week comes to mind directly, having already told several people about it this week. so i will […]

mommy attitude

Today I decided it was high time I clean the windows in the back doors and the mirror in the living room that used to be one of Seb?s favorite play-things. And I decided to do it while Seb was not napping because lately he?s been into ?wiping? things up with towels or shirts or […]

heh!

didn’t realize that i plagiarised brian’s nutshell statement (see 9.6.04 entry). sorry brian.

raodtrip 2004

in a nutshell, we drove to philly, wed, sept 1, to manchester, ct, thurs, sept 2, to ocean city, nj, sat, sept 4, and home, mon, sept 6. i will probably never want to do that again. ever. that said, we had a pretty good time. seb and noah played pretty well together considering they […]

walkin’, walkin’, walkin’ …

little seba’s walkin’! rawride! i sing this to seb when he starts walking around the house on his own. he’s doing it so often now though that i’m heartily sick of it and intend to stop. hoorah! we went to coopers rock last weekend with friends of ours–seb likes getting down and dirty with nature… […]

letting go

both seb and i are having letting go issues of late. seb just won’t let go and embrace walking as a new and interesting (and not scary when he falls) part of life. he also is having trouble letting go of his compulsion to play in the kitchen trash. he has a “route” that he […]

i can’t believe that june is almost over. the following are pics from the whole month so far… i don’t think seb fits under the table standing up anymore. he’s getting so tall–we’re going to have to rename the website “kneebiter” or something. hm. seb is 13 months old, and apparently coming into his own.
