Today started off very well. Rebecca was overjoyed to see me when she woke up. She ran to her high chair and tried to pull it into position — a clear sign she was ready to eat. She ate her entire bowl of oatmeal and wolfed down six or eight crackers for dessert. Played well[...]

I’m trying a new method of blogging, to help avoid unwanted gaps in this journal. Instead of waiting a few days and then trying to remember highlights and record them in the early morning hours before Rebecca wakes up, I’m now taking advantage of WordPress’ scheduling feature.

Even though my wife is the one who checks on Rebecca and gets her back to sleep, I always have trouble getting back to sleep[...]
Every time we start to worry that Rebecca is behind in her development (I assume most parents are concerned about this from time to time), I just check several “toddler milestone” charts from reputable organizations.
