We took Kieran up to Snoqualmie Pass this weekend to go snowshoeing. It was such a good idea, we were joined by our friends Laura and Noah with their 11 month old Eli, Scott and Holly with Nicolas and Jonas, as well as Scott’s parents who are in town for a few days. Of course Baxter, […]
We’ve learned a few things about infants, costumes and Halloween. 1) The good infant costumes sell out months ahead of time. 2) Not everyone appreciates what a great costume a Red Sox player can be. 3) Infants are not wild about being stuck in the equivalent of a fuzzy brown pillow case with holes for […]
Yes, Kieran is now crossing the living room with ease. Items of greatest interest appear to be the TV cabinet and the cat. Of course, Alex can easily make tracks to other rooms whenever he spies Kieran coming. The TV cabinet is not so fortunate – the doors have been child-proofed on the inside and […]
Understatement of the month: Kieran’s first experience with solid food seems a bit more popular than letting him cry himself to sleep.
We have just returned from a wonderful 10 day trip to the east coast. Kieran was a champ on the direct flight to Boston, but got cranky later in the day as his first tooth made an appearance. The next morning we headed south to have him meet Joy’s grandmother and Aunt Chris in Connecticut. […]
Kieran ventured out into the great outdoors this past weekend. We went camping up in the Cascades at Cooper Lake up the Salmon La Sac Road north of Roslyn (of Northern Exposure fame). Our friends Carol, Tor and Else joined us for the outing, and brought a borrowed Mad River canoe that allowed us to […]
What happens when you bank 10 weeks of sick leave over the first five years of your job? Well, the answer was clear to me with Kieran looking for company and the World Cup being played this summer. I’ve taken paternity leave for all of June and July. Kieran and I have caught all but […]
Kieran’s grandparents from Wellesley arrived last week – he’s having a great time with all the extra attention. We enjoyed a fantastic Mother’s Day brunch at Salty’s on Alki yesterday. We had a window table with views across Elliott Bay to downtown Seattle, and the weather was fantastic. The rest of the afternoon felt like […]
Kieran has seen many visitors coming and going the past few weeks. First it was Craig and Sandy’s turn to stop by for some final BBQ before heading east to Washington, D.C. for the next few years. Craig’s new job involves bird conservation work in Latin America, so Kieran donned his Mexican duds for the send-off. […]
Joy suggested we give him a first bath this fine Saturday morning. Kieran enjoyed it just long enough for us to take this photo. The warm water and soap were fine until they touched his head – kicking, screaming and splashing ensued.
I returned to work this week, which was a mixed bag. It was good […]
