Lucas the amazing interactive baby

28 October 2008 Baby days

I’ve always said that six to nine months old is one of my favourite baby ages. Old enough to sit up but not old enough to creep around; old enough to love you obviously and joyfully but not old enough to be prone to tantrums; old enough to babble but not old enough to talk [...]

Granny’s Revenge

30 September 2008 Baby days

I was flipping through Tristan’s baby calendar the other day, comparing Tristan and Lucas at seven months of age. (Heartbreakingly, I seem to have lost my 2004 kitchen calendar with all of Simon’s baby milestones. I have every other year since 2001; I’m hoping it presents itself out of the clutter one of these days.) [...]

Lucas at six months (and a bit)

28 August 2008 Baby days

Did you hear the choirs of angels singing, and did you see the beam of light shoot down from the heavens to glow lovingly over Lucas’s high chair last week? Or maybe that was just me singing the Hallelujah chorus. We’ve made one of those huge developmental leaps that makes Mommy’s day so very much [...]

Lukey’s boat is painted green

15 August 2008 Baby days

When he’s really frothed, I can rely on three songs to calm Lucas down. “You are my Sunshine” is my lullaby standby, and I have sung it to all three boys. It reminds me of my Granda, my grandfather on my mother’s side, and I cringe when I hear it used to huck orange juice. [...]

Lucas’s first cereal

12 July 2008 Baby days

Every now and then I feel the need to conform to the expectations of those who castigate mommy blogs as self-reverential shrines to minutiae. What could be more self-indulgent than four minutes of baby’s first cereal posted to YouTube? But seriously, could he BE more adorable? If nothing else, watch for the infectious baby giggles [...]

The look of love

3 June 2008 Lucas

There are a lot of wonderful things about mothering a baby not quite four months old. It’s fascinating to watch his personality emerge, bright-eyed and curious and more than a little stubborn. (Fancy that! Who would have guessed it?) It’s equally fascinating to see him growing before my eyes, gaining folds and bursting through footie [...]

Lucas at three months

8 May 2008 Baby days

Lucas loves the bathtub the way some people love roller coasters or horror movies; his eyes reflect both delight and abject terror, and he watches me with obvious trust. “This is fine, mum, as long as whatever you do, do NOT let go!” Three months of age is the beginning of the fun stage of [...]

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

9 April 2008 Lucas

Lucas at two months: 11 lbs 10 oz, almost 25 inches long. (Still gaining! Yay!!) Sleeps like a dream during the night, and insists on being cuddled during the day. Gazes at mommy with a look of adoration that would melt steel. Smiles at everything except mommy’s camera. Saves his best smiles for his big [...]

Lucas’s first visit to the children’s hospital

2 April 2008 Lucas

Lucas and Tristan have had a lot in common. They’re both long and lean, both good sleepers, both had early trouble gaining weight. This, however, is one where I wish he would take after Simon. I spent a lot of time in Tristan’s first year getting tests done at the children’s hospital for various concerns: [...]
