(Wednesday) It’s been raining quite a bit the last couple of weeks, drenching our county. But I love it, as always. What I don’t love is not having much time to relax. When I do relax, it’s just half an hour in front of the TV, and then I go to sleep. I guess I[...]
Rebecca holds Benjamin for the first time (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) Received 0.95 inches of rain, most of it in a pre-dawn thunderstorm (and a tad in the afternoon). Perhaps it was the lightning and thunder, but Benjamin was awake from 1-3 a.m. and again at 4 a.m. I[...]
(Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) Benjamin is a week six days old today. (Edited to reflect correct age.) He turned his head from left to right — and back again — while on his tummy on the Baby Einstein gym. Rebecca also did it for the first time on that[...]
Benjamin was awake for a good two hours during the night, feeding on and off and generally just wanting to be held and to look around and listen to us talk to him. So I was exhausted when Rebecca woke me at 8 a.m. (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)
Benjamin at four days old (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) The first day with all of us in the house (Thursday, June 13) passed quickly. I honestly don’t recall most of what we did. I think we ate at Chick-fil-A for lunch, Benjamin’s first time in a business establishment —[...]
Morning: Rebecca, my parents and I all drove to the hospital to meet Benjamin. Took a bunch of pictures. MF said she was fine, didn’t need me to stay. (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)
First photo of Benjamin (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) The day began slowly enough. My wife went to work as scheduled. Rebecca and I played in the back yard as long as the shade of the house would allow. I should have known something was off; she hasn’t wanted to[...]
Benjamin Wesley Fry was born at 7 p.m. June 11, 2013, at Metroplex Adventist Hospital in Killeen, Texas. He was 6 lbs. 2 oz. That’s all I know as I write this. I have a much longer entry scheduled for tonight, but it probably won’t go live until morning. :-) CORRECTION: 6 lbs. 1.8 oz.[...]
We hit 99°F today, which is a record high for this day, according to both weather.com and wunderground.com, and the hottest day of 2013 so far. Still, the month has been cooler than the past two Junes. (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)
Rebecca played in the evening with her friend (“Daley”) across the street. They’re moving in about a month. They played tug-of-war with a jump rope, neither ever winning or letting go — it’s been fun to see her play with someone so equally matched in almost every way, which seems to be rare among children.[...]
