Ansel
Another Grand Family Trip…
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008 | Food | 2 Comments
…in which I talk about our recent trip up to Arkansas for Thanksgiving.
Yet another grand adventure with the family transpired last week. We were so excited to take Ansel up to see his grandparents, great-grandparents, and other family, since he’s been walking, babbling, and just all around loaded to the gills with cuteness. We left out of Denton on Wednesday and made the 8+ hour drive up to West Memphis. Ansel didn’t do as well as he as in the past. He hardly slept at all on the way up, and for the most part grumped and fussed. He was simply not in the mood to be in his car seat for that long. On the occasions where we stopped and were able to get out for a bit, he was even more resistant to go back in. I felt sorry for the little guy, but he was just not happy about the trip. › Continue reading
We Now Return You To Our Regularly Scheduled Broadcast, Already in Progress…

…in which I talk about my own current affairs and the regularity of my blogging.
I feel bad because it shouldn’t be all that hard to post one blog a week. Every friday I all of a sudden realize that I haven’t posted anything and that I should write something up “right now” or another week will go by. Then, on Monday, I realize that I’ve missed that week. Maybe I need a weekly blogging night, or something. I frequently have ideas that I want to write about, issues that bother me, thoughts that I ponder; you know, regular blogging topics, but I often forget them before I get a chance to write about them. To this end, I think I’m going to buy myself yet another blank journal and start a blogging notebook… kind of a “writer’s block defense book.” I almost bought one this weekend (for free with a coupon), but they were all so cheap looking I didn’t think they’d hold up to the abuse I was sure to pile on them. I’m low on funds right now, but I may still go out and see what I can find in the bookstore, later. › Continue reading
One Year Ago…

…in which I make a quick note about Ansel’s Birthday.
Yesterday was Ansel’s first birthday. There was no great hoopla, not riotous celebration, just a day out shopping and dinner at home. We went out to Frisco to go to Ikea to buy a gift for Ansel, but it turns out that the item is no longer available at Ikea. We’ll have t get a slightly more expensive one at Target, now. › Continue reading
Terror Comes to Tiny Town…

…in which I talk about my poor, poor little baby and his horrible, terrible, no good, very bad night.
So, Wednesday was not a good day for baby Ansel. He was dripping snot all day, didn’t sleep well the night before, and didn’t nap well all day. He was grumpy (which was reiterated by his “GRUMPY” onesie) and we were pretty sure that Wednesday night would not go very well either, but we had no idea how bad it could be. › Continue reading
I didn’t blog last week…

I’ve got three computers installing software on my desk right now, so I’m going to take a moment to just ramble mindlessly. › Continue reading
Busy Little Bees…

…in which I talk about not only my hectic life, but the great achievements of my little one.
So even though we were on vacation last week, I feel like things have been crazy all over. With the very appreciated assistance of Angela, we flew out to Indiana Thursday to visit my brother and his micro family. We had a great time. My parents were in town to visit for the first few days, so it was nice to see everyone all at once. We got to go to Christy’s mom’s house for a nice Independence Day “meat and munitions extravaganza,” which was really fun and I got, what I think, are some really good fireworks photos (though, I’ve kind of decided most fireworks photos all look pretty much the same). › Continue reading
Standing Tall and Proud
Monday, June 30th, 2008 | LiveJournal Archives | 5 Comments
All this weekend, Ansel has been working on trying to stand up. He’s been pulling up on pretty much everything in the living room with several failed attempts and half successes (getting stuck and us helping him finish up). Well, last night, while Heather was surfing the internet and I was playing Assassin’s Creed, Ansel got bored with his toys and squirmed over to his jumper (he still doesn’t crawl) and then, all on his own, pulled himself up to a standing position. We were so proud of him and he is obviously very proud of himself in this photo! We were both cheering for him so much I was almost afraid he’d forget that he can’t really stand on his own and show off his other new trick: clapping. Fortunately, he never forgot that he needed that support and always kept one hand on the jumper. He’s getting so big and so smart, I just love him so much.
Everyone say “YAY! ANSEL!”

In the Tree Top…

…in which I talk about babies and eyes (but not writing because I ran out of time to finish my entry).
So last night was my first real solo attempt at putting Ansel to bed. Every night before this has been either a tag team effort or a solo effort on Heather’s part. Now this isn’t that big of an injustice, as until recently, we only really put Ansel to bed by either dropping him in his swing and letting him rock the night away, or by Heather nursing him to sleep in bed beside her (a task I am gender challenged to perform). › Continue reading
