Construction on the road behind our back fence has begun and will continue all summer. Chainsaws. They chopped down a row of trees next to the soccer field. Not sure why they had to do that just to build a sidewalk — there was more than enough space. Now I hear them shouting and throwing […]

I made asparagus-leek soup for dinner. It’s a puree so hopefully Freya will like it. I also made a dozen pumpkin cranberry whole wheat muffins for a playdate tomorrow that just got canceled. Now what? We went to the library this morning to pick out books and also attend her first toddler story time. I […]

Freya has figured out how to solve her shape sorting ball. She got it as a present from her grandfather when she was about eleven months old, and started solving it herself seven months later, which I think developmentally is still a bit early. She likes working on her stacking cups, though today was getting […]

Brian flew home from San Francisco last night. At the time, moderate snowfall was predicted for our area but as usually happens in the Pacific Northwest, nothing materialized except a half-inch of nothin’. So he arrived home safely and on time, and Freya was so happy. At one point she was just sitting on the […]

So Freya went through this phase in January where she would stay up til almost 11pm at night. We never figured out what the deal was — we kept to our usual routine of dimming lights and volume after 8pm, reading her books downstairs, and then trying to nurse her down or slow-dance her to […]
bath time

Freya is taking her first Big Girl Bath in the real tub. So much more room for toys! I’m glad to not be using the infant tub anymore. It returns the room to a much more normal and usable state, so that maybe even I could take a bubble bath in there in the near […]

Look how Freya has grown! Five months: Nine months: So, she is now crawling. Fast. Yesterday she scurried into the kitchen and nonchalantly tipped over the dog’s water bowl. Ahhhh. Today we went to a really fun playdate and I watched my baby crawl around a child-proofed room. It made me realize that we need […]
