Rebecca’s crawling has vastly improved. Not only is she a complete master at traversing any room she’s in, but now she crosses from one room to the next with only a slight pause at the threshold. Two days ago, she was in the kitchen and saw me at my office desk (opposite ends of the[...]
Rebecca has officially entered what I think of as the “fun stage” of being a baby: crawling, exploring, questioning, playing. Crawling was the key here. Before she could crawl, her world was much smaller and much less under her control. Now that she’s learned this trick, it’s led to all kinds of discoveries. The best[...]
The days are starting to blur together now… But I’m sure I mowed the yard Saturday evening and watered on Sunday morning. The back yard has almost complete coverage now. (Copyright © 2011 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) (6 images after the jump)
Tomorrow will be my first Father’s Day, but I still think of my own Dad when I think of fathers. It’ll be a while before my own name automatically pops up in my brain. After 38 years of seeing myself as the child, I can’t just switch to thinking of myself as the parent. Not[...]
Yesterday, the three of us went swimming before lunch, while workers framed the house to our north and finished bricking the house to our south. After showers (bath for Rebecca) and a lunch of Mama Rosa pizza, we were all ready to go to Ikea for the afternoon. But Rebecca was sleeping by the time[...]
I forgot to mention a few days ago that Rebecca has taken the next step in eating solid foods. She’s been having toast for a few days now. (Copyright © 2011 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)
We moved into a construction zone; we knew this 10 months ago when we bought the house. At that time, there were several empty lots on either side of our house, a few across the street, and the entire street behind us was empty. Through the fall and winter, workers built three or four houses[...]

Today was Rebecca’s third time in the community swimming pool, and she had a grand old time. We were the only people there (Monday, 11 a.m.) and had the entire pool area to ourselves. We stayed in the big pool the whole time, and she really enjoyed it. We were able to stay about 45[...]
This video is is cuter without sound (I forgot to mute the TV before recording). Rebecca was proud that she drinks out of a glass now, without spilling: (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)
Flickr did their biggest change ever this evening. There’s a little more about that on my other blog. I’m seriously considering ending my eight-year relationship with Flickr. If only there were another decent place to share photos (and remember, I said “decent”, so no one suggest Facebook). Rebecca worked on learning my limits again today.[...]
WEATHER: 72-93°F, mostly cloudy RLF requested the playground today, after a few weeks of not going, so I said okay. She wouldn’t walk there; only rode in the stroller. And only played there for about five minutes before she was ready to come home. (This is why we’d quit going in the first place.) She[...]
➤ A couple of nights ago, Rebecca woke up crying about 2 a.m. My wife heard it, rushed in. RLF said she needed to go to the bathroom. MF took her; RLF did. Then RLF went back to sleep. (I didn’t wake up. Noises will prevent me from falling asleep, but very little will wake[...]
After a cooler than average spring, yesterday was the hottest day of the year (high: 92°F) until today’s record high of 96°F. Had a pretty good day with Rebecca (scroll down for photos).
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[...]

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[...]
