It has been a long, very snowy, very cold winter in Minnesota and we just couldn’t take it any more. We escaped to Cancun for a few days to catch some sun and enjoy the outdoors without hat and coat. The weather was great: sunny and 70’s every day. It was quite windy, but compared […]

1/10: Walter got his first pair of hockey skates. We tried them out at the Commons Park rinks, but he needed to be held up too much to stay long.  We came home and he practiced walking around in the back yard, and pushing the little sleigh for support. He’s excited to keep practicing and […]

I just had to do a special post to announce that Abigail has started crawling!Sunday night, Mr. Guru noticed that, after a couple of weeks of attempts, she had finally coordinated both hands and both knees. Since then, she’s been getting steadier and more confident. She still gets a little frustrated when thing are out […]

Wow! 7 months old already.  Abigail is so anxious to crawl–it’s driving her nuts!  She’s gotten so close a couple of times!  She’s about 16 pounds now, but her petite size belies her surprising strength. We have to be careful what’s in reach, since she has been known to grab and pull the exersaucer, bouncy […]

Wow, it’s been a busy month. How can Abigail be five months old already? She hit a few milestones, and Walter kept saying amazing things.

1/26: When Walter recognized a picture of Chuck E. Cheese, he pointed and said “Chucky Jesus!” So close… Walter has also been learning another French song, Aloutte. I think he doesn’t […]

We are spending Christmas in Vermont with Mr. Guru’s family.  How did we get here? We drove. It may sound insane, but it was so much cheaper to drive than fly that we had to go for it. Besides, this time we didn’t know how hard it would be so we could go with ignorant […]

Wow, two months between posts! But as you can imagine I’m just a tiny bit busy these days!  I’ve been keeping track of things the last few weeks, just so that I can continue to use this as an electronic baby book. If you’re interested in the latest news our Flickr stream and YouTube are […]

The last time I posted a Tummycam picture I predicted I wouldn’t get to post much. I guess that has turned out to be true! I suppose no news is good news when it comes to pregnancy. We’re spending a lot of time in the air conditioning and I’m trying to pick Walter up […]

Walter is excited for the Superbowl! (Ok, Mr. Guru is too, since he grew up in New England.) Walter has been practicing running plays with Daddy (see video) and loves to carry his football around. He announces “Dodo!” [Football!] when he sees them playing on TV. This should be a fun time!

Walter’s vocabulary continues to accelerate its growth. His new favorites include “yah,” “bear,” and “bubble.” He likes to point out all his teddy bears, and even calls his sock monkey a bear! When I tried to explain how to tell it was a monkey and not a bear, I was a little stumped! […]
