Two brand new girls
Sunday, August 31st, 2008Outgrowing
Sunday, August 31st, 2008This is one of the last times he’ll wear this outfit -one of my favorites. It’s all tight and not just around the belly.
He was pretty happy today with more energy and appetite. I think he may actually be getting over his cold slowly. Just down to a small cough now. Any day now and we can go visiting again. Any. Day…
It may also be time to start the sleep training again -he seems to have fallen into a new phase where he refuses to sleep in his cot (or rather, tries to refuse -crying for AGES before he settles). We’ve been here before so at least we know we can get out of it eventually. I tell ya, nothing like having a kid to teach you patience!
Would it still be called a piggy-back ride?
Saturday, August 30th, 2008Yay -my camera is up and running again. Just in time to get these shots of Gus’ new carrier (the other one is getting hard on the lower back).
Charles took it for a spin all the way down to the center of Mosier city (population 200). But Gus kept falling asleep every 10 minutes or so and because his head wasn’t supported, he kept slumping over to the side. So Charles would stop by the side of the road and wait for 20 minutes until he woke and they started walking again. Only to repeat again 10 minutes later. Not terribly efficient.
I tried it out this evening for a much shorter trip around the orchard.
When Gus was on my back, Charles kept calling it a “howdah” -which I just looked up. It’s the name for the seat they use on an Elephant ride.
humph.
A long way to go
Friday, August 29th, 2008Camera is still out of power but I found a way to take this one with my laptop today:
As it happens, it shows the evidence of our first attempt at teaching him to drink out of a cup.
Yo
