The New Agua
Just when we thought Nathaniel’s vocabulary had devolved into a single word, “agua,” it has reversed course and evolved substantially in less than two days. Wednesday evening, his jazz hands sign language was accompanied by the actual words, “All done!” Well, maybe it was “All da!” But still, that is…
16 Month Stats
On Thursday I took Natesy to Dr. Antsy’s for his 15-month well-baby check-up. Yes, he’s 16 months and is currently a snot factory… I do my best. So I’m filling out the questionnaire and it asks things like: “Can your child walk?” Check. “Can your child run?” Check. “Does your…

We flipped through the pages that originally endeared us, given its likeness to Baby Jacob… Blueberries: Yummy! …

Newsflash
Breaking News… Breaking News… Breaking News… Breaking News… Breaking News… Breaking News… I’m going to go out on a limb, CNN-post-Supreme-Court-Obamacare-decision-style, and declare Jacob OFFICIALLY POTTY TRAINED.
