Clearly, this child will have his PhD by the time he is fourteen.
Check it out:
***note: you may want to start it at about 5 seconds or so to get past my shrill SMILE!! that I throw out there. shudder. I wouldn’t smile for that either.
(Ward, by the way, had this same skill. [...]

Somewhat delayed in the telling, but here we go:
He weighed (on November 30, his 9 month birthday being November 26) 27 pounds and 10 ounces. He was 30 1/2 inches long and his head was 48 cm in circumference.
All of these measurements are off the chart for his age.
He’s a big fella.
The doctor said [...]

So, seeing as nobody else feels like talking about shopping so much (…ahem…) how about some brilliant and adorable baby footage? Everybody loves that, right?
Here we have Rainbow playing with Rockinrolla. He’s not talking or anything here, just being his cute self, but I include this mostly because Rockinrolla si being [...]

with the words, that is.
Last night, Rainbow totally said “Cat.” It was sooooo sweet, just dripping with the sugar. It was like the Sesame Street skit where there are two profiles and one face says the first part of the word and the other the second: he was all K-K-K…AT-AT-AT…T-T-T…
CAT.
And this morning, with [...]
Christmas Presents for the Babe

So, I’m pretty sure Rainbow is getting this item along with a few stocking stuffers like this and this and this for Christmas.
He asked Santa for it, and Santa (I’m quite certain) feels it is a reasonable request. I think Santa also knows that probably he will not be the only person to give [...]
Gold Star Day: First Word
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Rainbow on November 24, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Last night I was putting Rainbow to bed and reading Goodnight Moon (again: DANG, but this child loves this book with a passion) and he said it.
His first word, other than an occasional “Da Da” and (when agitated) a “Ma!” or “Mam!”
(Which I confess that I love and may cultivate. I’ve been Mama [...]

(clearly, the forbidden flip camera is a great crawling incentive.)

He’s brilliant.
This whole I prefer Daddy to Mama and will lunge at him and shower him with kisses Thing is having its desired effect: I’ve had to step it up a notch.
O, the smiles, the singing, the patient repetitive book-reading, the 3:30 am snuggling – all because I really want to be his favorite. [...]
Rainbow mobility

So, on Friday, Rainbow was messing around on the floor of the family room (plunked down in the middle of his toy campus) next to the coffee table. Daddy J was sitting in the armchair with his laptop, and I went into the kitchen for something.
When I walked back in, he was TOTALLY STANDING [...]
a possible severance

A deep exhale:
Whooooosh.
My last card to F was returned to sender, the social worker reports.
And she has been unable, the past couple of days, to get an email response from her.
Which might just mean that F moved and forgot to let the sw know, and that she’ll call her soon with the new contact info.
Or [...]
