A Day in the Life (with Baby V.). Chapter 2 of "Waiting for Baby V.". Sunday, September 13, 2009. I watched Jonas in wonder as he gracefully shoveled his cereal into his mouth and two thoughts came to mind. “Wow! I am amazed that he can handle silverware so well for his tender age. Good for him. He’s got more dexterity than his father! 8221; The second thought was “Geez, this kid looks like a sheep dog. I can’t even see his eyes anymore. Time for a haircut! Ok, so far, so good. I think. The little boy wh...

A Day in the Life (with Baby V.). Chapter 2 of "Waiting for Baby V.". Sunday, May 31, 2009. I signed up for the Freihofer’s Run for Women. Nevermind. Ok, I think I’m almost ready. Joe’s got the kid and is headed out the door. Great. Reminder 3. “Do you have Jonas’ bag? 8221; “No, and no.” Scramble for snacks, water, jacket, blanket. Resolve to never be this unprepared again. All things will be packed night before. Maybe even the kid, if I can figure out how to pull that one off. And just like that, the g...

A Day in the Life (with Baby V.). Chapter 2 of "Waiting for Baby V.". Wednesday, July 29, 2009. Jonas is a chip off the old block. He LOVES blueberries. He shovels them into his mouth by the handful. It's quite a sight to see. This summer, we have had blueberries in every which way: blueberry cobbler, blueberry pie (two of them! This is my first blueberry pie of the summer. It was so delicious and such a luxury, late one Saturday evening, after painting kitchen cabinets for hours and hours. Hangin' out w...

A Day in the Life (with Baby V.): First Chocolate Milk
http://waitingforbabyv.blogspot.com/2009/08/first-chocolate-milk.html
A Day in the Life (with Baby V.). Chapter 2 of "Waiting for Baby V.". Tuesday, August 18, 2009. Last Friday, to get a little reprieve from the intense summer heat, Jonas and I decided to head out and get ourselves a treat. I bought a book. He got a chocolate milk. His FIRST chocolate milk. It was a hit, as you can see. The straw goes in. He LOVES straws, by the way. He takes a sip. "Don't SQUEEZE it, Jonas," I say. The sparkle in his eye tells me he's thinking about it. He takes a minute to savor it.

A Day in the Life (with Baby V.): Liz's Pick: Milk in a bottle
http://waitingforbabyv.blogspot.com/2009/09/lizs-pick-milk-in-bottle.html
A Day in the Life (with Baby V.). Chapter 2 of "Waiting for Baby V.". Saturday, September 12, 2009. Liz's Pick: Milk in a bottle. I started looking around for local dairies a few weeks ago, and I found that among the scant number that are still in existence, a few distribute their milk both in the conventional way (cartons) and in glass bottles. I bought my first bottle. I’m looking forward to sampling that next! Now, if only the milkman would start making his rounds again. Posted by Liz V.

A Day in the Life (with Baby V.). Chapter 2 of "Waiting for Baby V.". Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Accident waiting to happen. The one (rather significant) downer of our Ohio trip was an unfortunate mountain biking accident. Joe and Matt had talked for months prior to our trip about doing some epic. Monday night they pulled out the topo maps and identified a remote spot in Pennsylvania, where they would pull off the first of the great rides of the 2009 summer vacation. All the boys looking at the topo map.

http://waitingforbabyv.blogspot.com/2009/08/crib.html
A Day in the Life (with Baby V.). Chapter 2 of "Waiting for Baby V.". Sunday, August 2, 2009. Crib: the last chapter. This morning, we heard the sound that every parent dreads hearing: Thud! Jonas had either fallen or jumped out of the crib. 8220;Oh my God. Did you hear that? I don’t really want him to. So, while I lowered the mattress, I asked Jonas to select the books that he wanted to read tonight. They’re almost always the same:. Lullaby and Good Night. The children are in bed! Posted by Liz V.
