Having two kids isn’t so bad. *knock knock* I know it’ll change ever so slightly once Isaac becomes mobile and starts stealing Nora’s stuff, but for right now, it’s good. It’s great even. A lot of that has to do with Nora’s personality. She’s very much the consummate big sister – there’s very little else, [...]
Nora’s birthday, while small, went really well. Nora doesn’t like being the center of attention unless she specifically asks for it, so having such a small party seemed to be much more enjoyable for her. She hung out with pretty much everyone there. The only time she showed her reluctance was during a stirring rendition [...]
Isaac was born January 22, 2010 at 9.09pm. He was 9 pounds, 5 ounces, and 22 inches long. His birth date, birth time and length are all palindromes (01/22/10, 9.09, 22). I mentioned it would’ve been kinda neat if he was 9lbs, 9oz, but Lisa gave me the death stare. I no longer think it [...]
The anticipation is so much higher the second time, since there’s a Nora in the mix. Her life is going to change forever. I don’t know if she really understands what a little brother means. Maybe she does. I know I never give her enough credit. She always surprises me. But this isn’t a singular [...]
I think we can get out the door on time in the morning if we get up at 6am, as opposed to the fives back when Nora was born. Six something sounds so much more appealing than five something (we currently get up at 7 something). That is all.
The new baby is imminent. Last time, Lisa wasn’t nearly as mobile or active. Last time, Lisa eased into the ninth month as expected. This time, she’s just on cruise control. The only time it’s crystal clear that she’s pregnant (outside the obvious visible signs) is when she uses her belly as a battering ram [...]
So, we used to have this game where, when I was changing Nora’s diaper, I’d pretend her foot was a phone and we were calling all sorts of people and telling them a story. The story would be whatever Nora wanted to tell them – for the longest while, it was about a turtle she [...]
The following is an actual conversation between Nora and I: Nora: “I don’t like daddy anymore.” Me: “What?! WHY?!” Nora: “Daddy needs to go down the drain. Down the drain with the water. We need to make the hole bigger so daddy can go down the drain and go bye bye.” Me: “Why do I [...]
We put the crib together this weekend. In terms of weekends, it’s one of the least productive weekends in recent memory; however, just getting that thing together feels like a major accomplishment. I wanted to note that not only was Nora in the room, she was an active helper. I don’t mention it that much [...]
Nora dumped her pacifiers last night. This and potty training were the things I feared. Potty training isn’t going well at all, so as a consolation prize we started suggesting to dump the pacis. She doesn’t need them – she hasn’t had them in the car for months now (though, those were some brutal car [...]
