Wherein I detail my absolute wussness

Posted by E-George on July 10, 2009

OK, so, like, I’m a complete wussass. Last weekend Matthew, Evelyn, and I drove to Magdalena for Larry and Anah’s birthdays. Because of a small problem with the Infiniti’s air conditioning system (where “small problem” is a suddenly non-functional air conditioning system), we were driving in the GTI. Not a bad ride [...]

8 and 9 months

Posted by E-George on June 26, 2009

The last two months have been full of changes and improvements. The number one improvement has been the quitting of my job to stay at home and be with Evelyn. My sanity and logic have returned (mostly), and the loss of income wasn’t as tough to swallow as we had expected. It [...]

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, [...]

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.

Let’s greet the morning together

Posted by E-George on April 3, 2009

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 [...]

6 months

Posted by E-George on March 21, 2009

Tomorrow is Evelyn’s 6 month birthday. Since she didn’t have a proper 5-month update, this post will feature pictures and video from the past two months.

These last two months, I’ve gotten more consistent about providing dedicated tummy time.

She wants to crawl really badly, but right now all she can do is carpet surf on [...]

Orla: yes!
