Looking so cute in her Zutano outfit
The state of our little family, in the style of Time Magazine’s Milestones section. Just because.
Expanding: Pooky’s vocabulary. We can no longer keep track of all the words she knows. Alas, she tends to favor some more than others, particularly “mine” and “no.” She can never resist pointing out […]

One: Pooky’s age. We made it a whole year! Hallelujah! It just gets easier from here, right? Right?
Full of tissues: All of our garbage cans. Since getting sick for the second time since starting daycare, Pooky has become a veritable […]

Pooky’s fallen asleep twice in her high chair during dinner. She’ll eat, eat, eat, and then slowly fall asleep. We find it pretty amusing. Here’s a video clip from the last time she did this.

It says here that a new baby deprives its parents of two-months worth of sleep in its first year of life. Seems a little low. Pooky is almost a year old now, and I don’t recall sleeping at all since she was born.
A study has found that many parents are wary of letting their kids […]

Goofy: Pooky’s poses when she sees the camera pointed at her. I don’t know how, but she seems to know what the camera is for, and she loves to ham it up.
Trying to be vigilant: May and I, as Pooky […]

Dr. Harvey Karp, of “The Happiest Baby on the Block” fame, says toddlers are basically miniature Neanderthals. Pooky can grunt like a little caveman, but I can’t picture her hunting a woolly mammoth.
LA Times columnist Joel Stein is happy for you. He just doesn’t want to see your baby pictures (registration required). What a grouch. […]

Freaked Out: Us, about putting Pooky in day care when May goes back to work. We’ve visited one place so far and are discouraged. It seemed dirty, disorganized, and, with a dog running around freely, a little bit dangerous. Plus, […]

Sometimes I can’t believe how quickly Pooky is growing up. Other times, it seems like an eternity has passed since her first few days when all she did was eat, sleep, cry and poop. She just does so much cool stuff now. I can’t get over it.
Last night she took another big step when, […]

Pooky still isn’t “crawling” yet, but she’s certainly getting around. She rolls, slithers, scooches, and rolls to where she wants to go. One of her new tricks is crawling (or sliding) backwards until she’s under the couch. When she first started doing this, she would startle herself with the inability to move backwards any further, […]

Sharing a photo of Pooky - now 7 months. She’s growing up fast. We snapped this photo of her asleep next to us on the couch the other day. It reminded me of the first few weeks when I would spend all day long staring at her while she slept (even though I should’ve been […]
