Don’t forget to update your feed so you don’t miss any posts! My baby sleeps, head resting on my chest, pillowed on my soft body. Ah, this is why I am soft. So my baby will sleep, tucked in the nook of my arm. Her fine, fine hair calls to me for kisses, a thousand [...]

Baby A was born one year ago today. At six months old she could climb to the top of the stairs. At eight months, she could circumvent any stair blockade we could concoct. Chairs, pillows, and milkcrates were no match for her. At nine months, she was walking. Now she trundles about the house, always [...]

1. It is always a sad day when the baby reaches the combined milestones of being able to stand without holding on (leaving BOTH hands free!) and being tall enough to see into the trash can. The tragedy is multiplied when we’ve had rice for dinner and floor’s already been swept. 2. About birth stories. [...]

On a lighter note, some links from around the Web. 1. Something’s rotten in Denmark. Striking because you want to drink MORE beer on the job? 2. European airline RyanAir is going to charge to use the bathroom on flights. Supposedly it’s not about making money, but about changing passenger’s behavior so they can remove [...]

1. All week the children kept telling me about their onions that had yellow flowers. We do have some stragglers of green onions still in the garden, and they keep bringing me fistfuls of yellow weeds, so I thought that’s what they were talking about. Nope. My daffodils (planted last year and forgotten) are blooming! [...]

1. Today I take Mr X to the school for his speech evaluation. He talks in full sentences all the time, but is so terribly hard to understand. They have to evaluate him before they can tell us what services he’ll qualify for. Next month is the last one for in-home ECI. 2. She is [...]

1. Saw the doctor Medicaid referred us to. She’s not a doctor, but a CNP. She did spend a good bit of time with me, didn’t get weirded out by the vaccine thing, and carefully explained all the options, her opinion, and let me make a choice (one vax this time, containing DTaP and polio.) [...]

1. So I never know what to name these Quick Takes posts. I’m going to number them according to week this year. Unless I forget. 2. Have you seen this article on employment discrimination in the health care bill? That’s right, it’s going to hurt single income, working poor, and large families. For a large [...]

1. Beautiful babies ~ My little niece Nora was welcomed into the Church last Sunday. 2. I am naive, I suppose. I never knew that our weapons used depleted uranium (nuclear weapons, sure, but not ground artillery). After the battle for Falluja, in Iraq, that uranium has contaminated the area. The Houston Chronicle last Sunday [...]

1. Free museum day in Houston tomorrow! The shuttle will be running free of charge and the Museum District is free, free, free! 2. 9/11. Remembering the thousands that were killed by terrorists that day. On that day I had a 3 year old, 2 year old, and an 8 month old. What I remember [...]
