What do balloons and baths have in common?
Posted by E-George on April 26, 2009
The answer: Evelyn!
This first video is of Evelyn playing with a sun balloon that Berta had WWE wrestled a mess of old ladies for after a church luncheon. Yes. I said that correctly. Church luncheon. Evelyn loved this balloon. It’s important to note that we didn’t tie it [...]

Park 0: Crestview Heights Park
Posted by E-George on
Matthew and I have committed to spending more time together and as a family. We’ve made the outrageous project to visit as many city parks as we can fit in over the coming spring, summer, and fall. We’re starting with those parks that are within walking distance of our house. First up, [...]

Helicopter Mom
Posted by E-George on April 23, 2009
A friend told me about this term today. I sort of want to be one to see if it is as exhausting as it sounds, but I sort of don’t want to be one because that’s a fast road to alienting (or completely crippling) your kid.

7 months
Posted by E-George on April 21, 2009
Evelyn is now seven months, and does it ever show. She sits up on her own, grasps things, rolls over easily, and puts anything she can reach into her mouth. Of late, her favorite game is Swat Mom’s Head, followed closely by Swat Mom’s Head With A Solid Plastic Toy.

Giggles!
Posted by E-George on April 9, 2009
I know everyone has been waiting to see Evelyn giggling. The technique demonstrated here of the nibbling on the ribcage works best when she’s not wearing a shirt. Or pants. Heck. The same could be said of me, too.

Unbridled domesticity
Posted by E-George on
I have a domestic side. >GASP!< NO! Surely not… But wait! My story gets better! Sometimes I feel the urge to do crafts. The kind of crafts that require a trip (or [squeal!] multiple trips) to Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby is a unique place if for only these two reasons: (1) the [...]

If Billy Mays ain’t sellin’ it, I ain’t buyin’ it.
Posted by E-George on April 3, 2009
And, now glory upon glory, Billy Mays has his own TV show. Set your TiVos folks for April 15th to bask in this goldmine of gratuitous attempt to boost the infomercial industry. BUT WAIT! Don’t order now! THERE’S MORE! Mr. Mays will be sharing the reality TV stage with Anthony Sullivan. [...]

Let’s greet the morning together
Posted by E-George on
How many times can you watch the sunrise together before it gets old? I know. Three. Exactly, three times and then it’s old. Maybe it’s not couth to complain, but there are aspects of my baby that are getting downright annoying. This whole, let’s-get-up-every-day-between-4am-and-4:30am-to-play-and-talk-until-I-go-back-to-sleep-at-7am-and-you-go-to-work thing is getting tedious. Since [...]

Daddy has to go boom-boom
Posted by E-George on April 1, 2009
I may have mentioned that one of the evening rituals with Evelyn is the sacred nudie time. Usually taking place 30 minutes or so before her bedtime and is an unbridled time of hard play. Because we conduct nudie time in the bedroom where it is warmer, Matthew is often in and out [...]
