An Afternoon in the Park

July 29, 2008 – 8:36 am

Last week Mom took me to Tower Park. She pushed me up and down the sidewalks and streets in my stroller and then spread a quilt out on the grass. I watched big kids slide down a slide and climb a tree. I looked up at the clouds and the many, many leaves. I got […]

Adventures in Reading

July 29, 2008 – 8:18 am

Mom is in charge of holding most of my books. But this book is soft and fuzzy, so she lets me be in charge. Sometimes I have trouble turning the pages. So I lick them instead. The worst is when I drop the book and it disappears. Mom tried to explain something called object permanence […]

A Good Sunday

July 28, 2008 – 10:49 am

Yesterday we went to Greenup Cafe for brunch. (Andy isn’t always thrilled with the fact that I take pictures of everything now.) We also went to Greg and Jenna’s where Sophie met Greg’s parents, Erin and her two daughters, Jillian and Claire. That evening, while I worked on shower invites for a friend, Andy and […]

Summer Wedding No. 3

July 28, 2008 – 10:31 am

Saturday we attended Erin and Ben’s wedding. It was Sophie’s first wedding. She slept during the first part of the ceremony. Then she woke up, untied the bow on her dress and chewed on the ribbon. She loved looking at the stained glass windows. About halfway through, Andy had to take her out of the […]

A 50th Birthday Party

July 28, 2008 – 7:25 am

Saturday we celebrated my uncle Roger’s 50th birthday at my grandma Gebhart’s house. There was lots of food for lunch, including a big bowl of my uncle Roger’s blackberries, picked that morning. (He also sent us home with some fresh corn—yum!) In addition to Uncle Roger, Sophie met lots of new people—Aunt Ellen, Uncle Mark […]

Zerberts & Laughter

July 27, 2008 – 11:33 am

Last night, as we drove home from Summer Wedding No. 3, Sophie cried. And cried. And cried. But as soon as we got her on the changing table, and gave her a few zerberts on the belly, her mood lifted. (By the way, we haven’t given up on cloth diapers. It’s just easier to use […]

Nini Babysits

July 25, 2008 – 7:22 pm

Earlier this week I had several in-person interviews to do for a freelance story I was working on so Nini babysat Sophie. Both of them must have had a good time because when I came home, this is what I saw. “A house needs a grandma in it.” —Louisa May Alcott

Bonding Over a Rawhide and Rattle

July 23, 2008 – 12:15 pm

Sophie has made several laugh-like noises in recent days. Last night, Sophie was sitting on my lap. Andy came home and, as usual, Tucker came running and gave Andy a boisterous greeting. Tucker licked Andy on the face and Sophie, who was watching intently, laughed. Tucker did it again and she laughed. And again. In […]

Findlay Market

July 21, 2008 – 7:05 am

Sunday we went to Findlay Market. We bought two pounds of butter, three Roma tomatoes, a pound of Rainier cherries (yum), some Gouda, a pound of ground sirloin and two sausages. At first Sophie was wide-eyed, taking in all the scents, colors and sounds. Perhaps it was the party the night before, perhaps it was […]
