Today we had a really clear ultrasound of little Benjamin Wesley Fry — yes, clearly a boy — who’s cooking in Mommy’s tummy. The appointment was at 1 p.m., which is usually Rebecca’s nap time, but I insisted on taking her anyway. Even though Rebecca pretty much screamed bloody murder as soon as we went[...]
It was 23°F this morning, breaking the previous record low by a degree. Our high for the day was 37°F.

I may not have mentioned it earlier, but we discovered on Oct. 25 that my wife is pregnant again. Not long after, a doctor confirmed it. When I told Rebecca that a baby was growing in Mommy’s tummy, she immediately ran over, pulled up Mommy’s shirt and kissed her belly. Now she will talk to[...]
Marline took a pregnancy test this morning. Positive. Estimated due date: late June, early July of 2013. If it’s a boy, we’re agreed on: Benjamin Wesley Fry If it’s a girl, we’re agreed on Felicia, but not on a middle name yet… Update, Dec. 26, 2012 Agreed on Felicia Cosette Fry if it’s a girl.[...]
After several days of Rebecca walking, this is the first video I was able to get. She kept avoiding the camera until I sneaked up on her. (1 video after the jump)
Rebecca took her first steps yesterday (Thursday, Sept. 15, 2011). Of all a baby’s milestones, some are much bigger than others. This is one of the top two or three in a parent’s mind. (One image after the jump)
I realize I’m very fortunate in many ways. One of those ways is having a baby who’s almost never ill, smiles often, plays well, eats steadily, and so on. But it’s difficult to remember this when she’s sick and teething at the same time. (One image after the jump)
Just some notes on Rebecca’s progress… • After a few weeks of only rolling to the left, Rebecca is again rolling over to the right.
Maybe Rebecca will someday love applesauce. She doesn’t like it now. So far, she’s eaten: Banana: loved it Yam: ambivalent Mango: loved it Applesauce: hated it.
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[...]
