She Pavlovs me, She Pavlovs me not….

Posted on March 24, 2011 by larva225

There’s no doubt about it: Stella has learned what certain objects or places mean.  The world is no longer purely coincidental.  For instance, whenever my cell phone comes out and up, she stops what she’s doing and begins grinning like … Continue reading →

Ifs, ands, or butts…

Posted on March 22, 2011 by larva225

You make up a ton of songs when you have a young baby.  I’m not sure why, and there certainly isn’t a whole lot of thought that goes into any of these.  Often they’ll be composed to an already-existing tune … Continue reading →

Posted on March 21, 2011 by larva225

All the books and docs suggest that you should begin introducing your kiddo to rice cereal at anywhere between 4 and 6 months of age.  I had spoken with our pediatrician about it and he had said that given how … Continue reading →

It’s the Fate Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Posted on March 18, 2011 by larva225

I’m starting to believe that there is a photo-sensitive gene (rooster chromosome?) in our bodies, or at the very least some kind of behavioral karma.  Once upon a time, I was a young child who insisted on getting up with … Continue reading →

Time out

Posted on March 16, 2011 by larva225

This will be a much more somber and sentimental post than you may be used to.  I’m actually a huge fan of Anthony Bourdain’s “ No Reservations” show (not to mention his writings…particularly the non-fiction).  He just aired an episode … Continue reading →

Rhyme of the Ancient Maytag

Posted on March 15, 2011 by larva225

This past weekend, Will and I attempted our first major home improvement project since having the baby.  We have this utility room which was in pretty sad shape.  Think old, wavy shelving, no place to hang drying clothing (except off … Continue reading →

A nose by any other name…

Posted on March 14, 2011 by larva225

‘Tis the season for pollen allergies to kick in.  Don’t get me wrong :  I see some folks slogging around, totally miserable, and I know it could be worse.  Still, it seems I get a sinus infection with a periodicity … Continue reading →

Legends of the Fall-ing Out

Posted on March 13, 2011 by larva225

I’ve always been lucky, I suppose, when it comes to my hair.  It’s straight and pretty thick.  It also tends to grow like a weed.  Honestly, I don’t deserve my hair since I don’t do anything at all with it.  … Continue reading →

Kicks and stones will break your….um….

Posted on March 10, 2011 by larva225

The Baby Bjorn is becoming a bit more hazardous to use the larger Stella becomes.  For anyone, after about 10-15 minutes, your back begins to get a bit fatigued.  But Will has it the worst.  Much, much worse. Stella loves … Continue reading →

Rosy the Riveting

Posted on March 8, 2011 by larva225

While the practice leaves me guilt-ridden, sometimes we have to put Stella in front of the TV in order to get some things done around the house (or just get a minute of peace).  I feel the need to interject … Continue reading →
