ceiling fan, and baby exercises

Our son smiles at us a lot.  We like this, it makes us feel special.  We were at a friends house for dinner last night, and he smiled at us across the table (someone else was holding him), and we thought, “Oh!  Our baby loves us so much!”
Except, of course, that we come in a […]

baby competition

So, I’m back at work. It’s been two weeks now, and things are getting a lot easier. However, everyone wants to ask how the baby is. Of course I say “He’s perfect! He’s the best baby ever!” He is, really:

But I was taken aback at how many people asked, “Is […]

z’s first concert

The Mr. is a musician.  Since he has been at home, he has started practicing his bass a lot more, which is good.  He had a thing a few weekends back, and Z and I came along to watch.
Z was so good while his dad was playing, and for the other people who were playing […]

yay obama

I took one of those online “who should you vote for?” quizzes, and came up Nader.  So we all know where my sympathies lie.  We like Obama in this household (I’m not likely to throw a vote away on Nader …).  We are very happy this week.
In fact, we ALL like Obama in this house

my lame halloween costume

I’m not a big fan of Halloween, I’m not sure why. I think I just never really got the idea of dressing up as something else.  I don’t even like nicknames, frankly. I’m Marie, that’s who I am, why is it so fun to be something else?  Note:  I think I fall on the autistic […]

Our little social … human

So, since the last time I wrote (almost a month ago!), our son has been smiling a ton, cooing, and generally acting more human.
He loves to smile at us.  It’s hard to get pictures of it because once I take the camera out, he usually looks at it intently and stops smiling.

But sometimes I […]

I guess time really is money

As we are moving into this next phase of our lives, the one where we realize money doesn’t buy happiness, we find that time really is money.  I belong to this book club, and one Sunday I wanted to place the next book on hold at the public library.  I wanted to do this quickly.
Quickness […]

starting and stopping work

Z is just over 8 weeks old, so I should have four weeks of motherhood-bliss ahead of me.  However
- the state of maternity leave in the United States is terrible.  I could have four more weeks off, if I didn’t want to be paid for it.
- we could probably manage to live without four weeks […]

talking about breasts

While I was pregnant, I happened to be sitting between two mothers at my book club. One mother had a 2 year old, and the other mother had a two month old. The newer mother was asking questions about breastfeeding, and the more experienced mother was giving advice.  I swear, I listened to them talk […]

fresh out of the oven

I’ve heard the phrase “fresh out of the oven!” a few times a week since Z came home. We go for walks with him, shop with him, go to festivals with him. And nearly without fail, when we go out, someone (usually an older woman) will squeal with delight and say “How old […]
