9 Months Old.

February 20, 2010

Today, David turns 9 months old. It’s insane how he’s almost one year old. Time is flying and I’m having fun! I thought month 8 wouldn’t have much to it, but in reality, he has grown a lot. Here are the significant milestones of the past month: He holds the bottle with both hands. He [...]

All Fours!

February 5, 2010

The baby finally realized that commando crawl wasn’t doing it for him. Yesterday, he decided to start crawling on his hands like normal babies do. Whoopie! That was about 6 weeks of confusion. Lately, though, he figured out that he can stand up on two feet. That, too, makes me super nervous. What if he [...]

Mommy’s Getting Better.

February 1, 2010

I had my surgery on Friday. I was totally nervous all day long but it wasn’t so bad. It was scheduled for 7:30am and they didn’t take me in until 9:45 or so. The first two hours were spent with paperwork, interviews with nurses and the anesthesia doctor, the guy who was working on my [...]

Separation Anxiety.

January 20, 2010

Besides having a freak out, I’m dealing with a baby who I feel has serious separation anxiety issues. I wrote that I love it when he crawls up to me. I do, but it happens too frequently. I can’t really do anything without him getting distracted by me and having to approach me at all [...]

Freak Out.

January 19, 2010

Freak out. That would be me. With baby now climbing on EVERYTHING, including the gate we erected to prevent him from crawling into my wires, I’m seriously afraid that he’ll fall backwards and land on his head. I caught his arm today before he fell. I wasn’t so lucky the second time when he landed [...]

Righty?

January 17, 2010

We think we gave birth to a righty. David is grabbing things with his right hand and is crawling with more effort with his right arm versus his left. My husband Brian is not too pleased with this, and well, I have mixed feelings. See, both of his parents are lefties! We are starting to [...]

First Post of 2010.

January 16, 2010

The first month of 2010 is half over and not much has changed in baby development. He is still crawling with his elbows, and some people say that it might be because our floor isn’t carpeted at all so it’s easy for him to slip if he went on his hands and knees. I have [...]

Crawls with his Elbows.

December 27, 2009

In September, I blogged about babies being born left and right. It’s December and I’ve heard of about the same number of newborns arrive in the last few weeks alone. It’s incredible. Of course, I only know a subset of families in the world, but wow, the second wave has mostly consisted of seconds — [...]

The Weight Loss Problem.

December 9, 2009

Okay, so in August, I lied. I was on a diet where I was counting calories (well, sort of), and I really didn’t achieve results, mostly because the Jewish holidays came and if any of you know how Jewish holidays go, you know that they’re laden with home-cooked meals and yummy goodness. I didn’t really [...]
