A fairly busy weekend around here, with Piko visiting and my first chance to host Easter dinner myself! Of course we had to go to the Cheesecake Factory, where Derek ate this entire gross burger and Piko and I split a chocolate tuxedo cheesecake that was probably a 7 out of 10–we’ll try a different […]
Breakfast Like A Big Boy

This morning Tommy decided that he wanted to eat his “bun” at the table like a big boy!
Bedtime Story
Posted in Children's Books, Tommy on Apr 8th, 2009
One of the many wonderful things about having Derek back home is that he does a great job reading bedtime stories like Bedtime for Frances. I just can’t get over how well Tommy goes to bed after some quality Daddy-Tommy time!
Pregnancy Dumbness
Posted in Tommy on Apr 5th, 2009
My friend Kathy refers to “pregnancy dumbness” as that state of mental abstraction throughout pregnancy (and especially near the end) that leads us to do, well, dumb things. I think today I took the grand prize. Before Tommy’s nap, Derek took him into the bathroom to try to use the potty. After an unsuccessful attempt, […]
Great Excitement
Posted in Tommy on Apr 4th, 2009
Police cars at 3 am have nothing on the excitement in front of our house yesterday morning–Tommy was awakened to the sounds of trucks outside! He pretty much spent the whole morning watching the Chicago water district people digging up our neighbor’s driveway…fascinating!
TP-ing the house

Regressions
Posted in Tommy on Apr 1st, 2009
Lately it seems like Tommy has regressed in all areas. First of all, he fell off the big boy bed at G&G Mullers’ and gave himself a lovely black eye (as you can see above). Then he climbed out of his bed, took off his diaper, and pooped on the floor. He’s staying in the crib […]
Tommy had a fun time with Grandma and Grandpa Muller a couple weeks back, even though I was spending the week mourning the loss of our computer…here are some pictures at last! “Ba-Pa Tar Driving!” “Payin’ [in the] bat-yard” Parking the “mon-mower”
Affectionate Friends
Posted in Tommy on Mar 25th, 2009
Since I don’t have the ability to share any pictures of my own right now, here’s Tommy with his little friend Reagan. They love each other so much that they knock each other down with their hugs! Tommy played with Reagan a couple weeks back while Derek and I toured the hospital where I’ll be […]
