Baby’s First Power Outage
This morning, we had our first power outage since moving into our new house. When my wife and I lived in Seminole (Oklahoma), we simply grew accustomed to not having electricity once in a while. Every three weeks or so, the electricity would just quit, sometimes for our block, sometimes for half the town, and[...]
Big Baby & Murphy’s Law
Today, Rebecca had her two-month checkup at the pediatrician’s office here in Killeen (along with four regular immunizations, three by needle). She weighed in at a Rubenesque 8 pounds and 13 oz. (4.000 kg), though she’s still 20.5 inches long. That’s a 16.5-ounce gain in just 10 days, which is amazing. Of course, Rebecca was[...]
First Day Without Mommy
My wife returned to work on Monday, Dec. 6 (yesterday), which was the longest Rebecca has gone without her Mommy since being released from the hospital. Rebecca woke up about 9 a.m. and fed very well, then returned to sleep almost immediately, in her room, in her crib. Her second feeding was around 12 noon,[...]
Birth Certificate
Thursday, I picked up Rebecca’s birth certificate, driving to Temple for the task. Personally, I think the state could do a little better job with this process, since a birth certificate is required for so much later in life. But as I thought about it, I realized they may already be doing it the best[...]

Rebecca did well with potty again today — still working on #2. After an early, short, and surprising nap (she put herself down at 11:50 for just an hour), much of the afternoon was full of fussing and craziness. I got a new debit card today, to replace the old one that was cracking and[...]

- May 14: Ikea & 34 Weeks by Wil C. Fry
A few days ago, we passed what I’ve jokingly called “the Rebecca threshold” with our Benjamin pregnancy. She was born about 7 weeks before her due date. As of May 10, we passed that point in the current pregnancy. My wife’s at 34 weeks as of today, and about nine pounds lighter than she was[...]

- May 12, 2013: Dry All Day by Wil C. Fry
Rebecca woke with a dry diaper this morning and kept her panties dry all day, using her potty correctly all day. We spent the day shifting from (1) us asking if she needed to go to (2) her telling us when she needed to go. And, after three days of holding it, she went #2[...]

Rebecca kept her diaper dry all morning, while MF was at work, and then wore panties the rest of the day, keeping them dry too. She even surprised us by staying dry during a supper trip to Dairy Queen (she had requested an ice cream cone). We put a diaper on her for the trip[...]

Big Milestone: Rebecca is now Three Feet Tall. Not quite tall enough for the WNBA, but on her way. She also crossed the 27-pound threshold for the first time (that we know of; we haven’t weighed her in a while). She’s 2.58 years (31 months) old. Compared to me: My mother didn’t record my height[...]

I woke up early today (because I went to bed on time last night?) and thought that would give me a little more time before RLF awoke. No — her new waking cycle is somehow tied to mine. Perhaps she hears the coffee-maker — I think I’m otherwise very quiet when I get up. She[...]
- A Shelved House Is A Happy House by Wil C. Fry
Houses should come with more shelves, in my opinion. One can never have too many shelves, cupboards, cabinets, closets, and “storage solutions”.
