JT just loves getting his tooth brushed. He opens wide when he sees the little finger brush coming. It’s nice not to have to battle that twice a day. We’ll see how compliant he is when he’s five and it’s more like a chore. Here’s a Flip Clip of brushing in action: This week JTContinue reading “Mmmmm, toothbrush!”

If you’ve ever been the only adult with your child in a store, you know what these things are. It’s a chair you’re supposed to put your child in while you use the bathroom, so they don’t sit on the floor. How is this seat cleaner than the floor, exactly? Does it get sterilized whenContinue reading “Sunny Days”

Turning seven months old this week brought with it a few changes for JT. First of all, he got his first tooth! There is a bit of white glistening through in his lower middle gumline. He plays with it with his tongue and obviously knows something is there. His snotty nose hasn’t been for nothing!Continue reading “7 months old”

Post #3 this week… it’s been busy! It is so fun to watch JT learn and grow. Now when I make the sign for water, he looks at his sippy cup and reaches for it. He has recently decided that previously frozen banana is icky, while fresh pureed banana is fabulous. Tough cookies, JT. MommyContinue reading “Post #3”

JT’s Great Grandma Keene passed away this week. She was 85 years old. We are so thankful that we got to spend Thanksgiving with her this year, and introduce JT to her. I’m glad that we will always have pictures and video to show JT when he gets older. We will miss her emails, cards,Continue reading “In Memory”

Last Wednesday was so sunny and warm! What a nice change. JT, Slider, and I went on a walk and spontaneously decided to stop at our neighborhood park. There are two play structures, and one is for littler kids. Turns out, JT loves the slide! It was so much fun. He even started anticipating goingContinue reading “An Afternoon at the Park”

Twelve years ago today, I went on my first date with a cute guy from my English class named Jimmy Keene. We went to dinner at Ivar’s on the waterfront and then on to the Seattle Boat Show. We had a great time. 🙂 Last weekend, Jim and I finally bought a ski boat. It’sContinue reading “An Event 12 Years in the Making”

Here is the video that I tried to post two weeks ago… don’t ask me why it’s turned upside down. But it’s too cute to pass up. It’s what happens when JT starts laughing!

Can you believe it? JT is already six months old. We got professional pictures taken at Kiddie Kandids, and we think they turned out pretty well. He has his check up at the pediatrician’s on Tuesday, and I can’t wait to see how big he is! JT started eating “real foods” for his birthday. HereContinue reading “Six Months Old”
