Tommy and I are in Detroit for the week. After the emotional turmoil of the weekend, I decided not to worry about bringing the potty chair here. So I’m pretty sure we’ll be back to square one with potty training when we get home this weekend. We tried to put Tommy in the big boy […]

Now that we have a complete twin bed set (and cool robot sheets), Tommy has been really interested in the big boy bed. We thought we’d wait to transfer him until he started climbing out of the crib (which he hasn’t), but now I’m starting to wonder if he’s ready for the real thing now. […]

Tommy has been going in spurts with his interest in the potty chair, but I think he’s really gotten into it ever since his friend Susan was here. Maybe he just needed to see another kid using it! He’s used it once or twice every day for over a week, and he’s even asked me to […]

We have been blessed with so many visits from friends since moving to Chicago.

Tommy and I had not gotten to see Uncle Dan and Auntie Lisa and their little family since he […]

Posted in Tommy on Feb 27th, 2009
Height: 35 inches (80th percentile) Weight: 33 lbs. 6 oz. (95th percentile) –less than we thought! Head: 50 cm (75th percentile) Tommy watched with interest as the nurse pricked his thumb and proceeded to take two separate blood samples out. Mommy fought the urge to gag and tried not to look. (For the record, he […]
Well, it took us 8.5 hours instead of 7, but we’re back in our house in Chicago. The past two days were so full of fun Columbia time that I didn’t really get online much, but here’s what Tommy spent hours every day doing, with Ba-Pa, Ga-Ma, or “Untle” Peter…going “beep beep” in Ba-Pa’s “Tar”:
