Freya points and points to something on the kitchen island. “Dah? Dah?!” “Do you want an apple? Bread? Toast? A magazine? The mixer? The oven mitt? A dish towel? The rest of your cereal?” Well it turned out she wanted the dish towel. It will be so awesome when she’s a little more articulate. Less […]

getting better
Posted in Freya, tagged fever on January 28, 2011 | Comments Off on getting better
Freya seems to have made a significant recovery. When she woke up close to 9am, her temp was down to 100, and she was very cheerful. Now we are playing in the living room and she just opened her bunny book again to the snow page, and went to look quite wistfully out into the […]
burning up

It took fifteen months, but Freya has her first fever. I realize that we are fortunate that it took this long. She’s had one (maybe two?) 24-hour sniffle attacks before this. In general she is an exceptionally healthy baby. I am filled to the brim with gratitude for that. Anyway I woke up at 4am […]
let’s make some noise

As you can tell, Freya is a solemn and miserable child. 😉 She is fifteen months old today. Yesterday we took a walk along the waterfront in our town, which is one of her favorite places to go. There are always numerous birds of all kinds around, and in fact yesterday we spotted a very […]
Freya wants it to snow
Posted in Books and Reading, Freya, tagged snow on January 26, 2011 | Comments Off on Freya wants it to snow
We were promised a cold and snowy winter. That really hasn’t materialized, though I never thought we’d ever have a Michigan-style winter or anything. But, it has snowed a couple of times. The last time, many inches accumulated in the evening and overnight but it had already started to melt by morning and was messy […]
Good morning. Night owl baby was up until 11 last night. We’ve just been following her cues (trying to), keeping the room dim and quiet, reading books, letting her wander around but discouraging pulling out more toys. I think around 10:30 she was sitting on the floor playing with her wooden box with the holes […]
play date

We attended a baby birthday party/playdate today. Though, Warrick was turning three, and would not appreciate being called a baby, and Lily turned two, which is right at the end of babyhood, so nevermind. A toddler’s birthday party! The theme was Curious George. Freya had a blast — there wasn’t a baby gate in sight […]
morning person

I’m kind of a morning person, and Freya is revealing herself to be a night owl. Last night I just gave in after trying to rock/soothe/nurse her to sleep for almost TWO HOURS. Fine, I said. If your body is telling you that staying up past 10:30 works for you right now, we will go […]
bath time

Freya is taking her first Big Girl Bath in the real tub. So much more room for toys! I’m glad to not be using the infant tub anymore. It returns the room to a much more normal and usable state, so that maybe even I could take a bubble bath in there in the near […]
