AGE: 9 months and 2 weeks… it’s about time for a vocab round-up. A: Aye Aye Aye! Imagine that stereotypical scene of a Mexican cowboy shooting his pistola in the air as his horse stomps and bucks… That’s what Jacob sounds like at 4am. B: Ba Ba, BA BA. This…
Two weeks ago… One little monkey playing on the bed, He fell off and bumped his head. Daddy called Mommy in a tearful voice and Mommy said, No baby monkeys playing on the bed!
I’ll take “Baby Milestones” for 400. Answer: 9 months. “When does the connection start between men and their remote controls?” Today is Jakey’s 9 month birthday. And tonight we watched him creep along the ottoman, 4 or 5 steps, to get to the remote control. He then managed to change…
Last week Teacher Linda C. says, “JJ is making a sound all day like Donald Duck.” Wow, I can’t believe you think that sounds like a duck? Yes, that’s his duck quack. He learned it from his granddad. Or maybe the stuffed duck at his grandparents house that yells AfLaC!! His…
HIGH: Teacher Noemi: Jaimie, how old are you? Jaimie: 32. Teacher Noemi: Wow, I was going to guess 22. Jaimie: Forget Teacher Linda C., you’re now my favorite teacher. LOW: I’m on the train with Jakey in the front pack. He immediately falls asleep. Something smells horrible. Great, am I…

Unicorns, dragons, & yetis… all legendary, mythological creatures. Just last week James told me about a new legendary creature: The Standing Jacob. “Suppooooosedly” this creature, who has just learned to crawl in a coordinated fashion, stood up not once, not twice, but three times on Sunday the 8th (6 whole days…
JJ has been doing yoga since he was in the womb. Although I remember his favorite pose (or maybe his mommy’s favorite pose) was shavasana (basically taking a nap) and then waking up for Hershey’s kisses… Lately Baby Jake has perfected a couple of new tricks. This isn’t the best…
My guilty pleasure is America’s Next Top Model (ANTM). Tyra Banks gets more and more ridiculous every “cycle”, but James and I love singing to the new music at the end…. “top moooodel, top mooooodel.” It’s one of those songs you sing in your head all night long. This season…
