When Emelia was less than a month old, I took a photo of Emelia Louise together with her great-grandmother Louise, her grandmother Virginia Louise, and her Mom Katherine Louise. Today we got a chance to get the four of them together in a photo again, and while three of them don’t look dramatically different, the [...]

About That Birthday…
Posted in Emelia on November 10, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Emelia turned 1 on Wednesday (damn did that year go by quick!), and while I feel quite behind in posting about other things that I’ve done or thought about, or that have happened in the past few weeks, I figured the birthday photos needed to be posted regardless. We didn’t have a party by any [...]
Pocono Vacation

The folks had a time share that they sold a couple of years ago. In June they announced to my siblings and me that they had one exchange week left that had to be used by mid-November. When no one else could use it, we grabbed it for a week of Fall Foliage in the [...]
A New Emelia Video

A mediocre example of her walking (seems like she can walk forever), but since it’s the only video of her walking that we have so far, I guess it’ll do. Besides, the highlight isn’t the walking, but the smile.
Look Who’s Walking

In the first 11 days after Emelia took her first steps, she didn’t do much walking. A step here, and a few steps there, but that was about it. Generally speaking, she still preferred to grab a finger or a hand, just for reassurance. Here are a couple of photos from Monday morning. You can [...]
No Photos But…

You know who took her first steps this evening, one day shy of turning 10 months. All you experienced parents can chuckle to yourselves at my thinking that things aren’t really going to change much, given how much mobility she already had.
Emelia at Nine Months
Posted in Emelia on August 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
“I’m not a little monster. This is a little monster!” Tuesday marked Emelia’s nine-month “birthday,” meaning that she’s now spent more time outside the womb than in it. It’s easy to forget there was a time when she wasn’t a part of our lives, much less such an integral part of them. Yesterday at her [...]
A Weekend in Maine

When we booked our flight to Maine several months ago, Kathy and I decided to add an extra couple of days at the end of the trip to do additional exploring. By Friday, with the lack of sleep and the extra effort of watching Suz’s three kids, Kathy was ready to skip the extra days [...]
Uh oh

Guess who climbed up the stairs this evening? Not just one or two either, but all of them (with Kathy right behind her but never needing to catch or support her). Hint: it’s the same individual who kept her parents up for most of last night from 2am onward. This kid is Trouble (with a [...]
Two Weeks Ago

Emelia went swimming for the first time when we were in Minneapolis. On Saturday Kathy took her, and on Sunday I went in with her. As fearless in the water as she is outside it, while I had her on the steps she lunged into the water, fully submerging herself before I could get her. [...]
