Ike

All week I've been whining because the 3 of us have a measly cold. In a week we'll be fine. But today my friend Kate sent me an email about a bake sale on campus for Baby Ike... Ike is not fine. He's very sick and has no health insurance because his dad got laid off. Please help Ike if you can. Here is his website. He's absolutely adorable: http://ikeasaurus.com/ ~T

52 pick up


Baby toys come in all shapes and sizes. Some you trip over in the dark. Some you can never find in broad daylight. And still others scatter to every corner of the house every time they're picked up. Here's a shot of one such "toy".

Weekend Update

S and I went on a date night Friday and had a lot of fun at Marshall and Janet's wedding. Thanks to Papa & Grammy for watching Eliza! Unfortunately all 3 of us were sick this weekend and spent most of our time at home. It's so hard to watch Eliza be sick, especially since she's too young to take most cold medicine. So, we spent a lot of time snuggling with her and reading books. On a happier note, many of you have seen how Eliza instantly points to the sky when she hears an airplane overhead. Well, we were playing with her blocks on the floor and all of a sudden she points to the sky. It took S and I a minute to realize she'd found a picture of an airplane on one of her blocks. It was pretty cool to see her make the connection between a picture and the sound! Oh, and on Friday she learned how to climb the ladder up to her slide all by herself! She proudly showed Papa and Grammy her new skills when they arrived. ~T

Go Bulldogs!

I've given up trying to wear nice clothes around the house.  So until I find a moment to shower, I wear a tired old pair of green track pants and whatever tee-shirt is closest to the bed.  (you might have noticed them in countless blog photos)  And thanks to my coaching in-laws we have plenty of Bulldog mascot shirts to choose from.  I've made it such a redundant ensemble, that Eliza now points to my ALL my tee-shirts and says "dog"  At 15 months she's already heckling me about my clothing!

Anti-princess reading list

My friend Sunshine (one our what, 4, faithful blog readers?) sent me this awesome list of books!

At the risk of jinxing myself...

This crunchy sleep training method seems to be working: http://www.drjaygordon.com/development/ap/sleep.asp She happily went 7 hours without eating last night and I got to sleep 5 hours in a row. Woohoo, this is progress, people!! Eliza and I went to the free storytime at Book People this morning and she really liked it and actually sat still. Then we went to the playground at Whole Foods next door. No new pics but the January pictures are posted on Picasa now. Enjoy! ~T
