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. She’s fine. As with most children, she’s ahead on some things, behind on others, and right on target with some.[...]
A couple of weeks ago when we went Christmas shopping, we let Rebecca have one present early, a “Busy Tumble Top” toy (see image). Mainly because we bought two other gifts of the same brand so the Tumble Top was free. Yesterday, she got another early Christmas gift: a Radio Flyer Pathfinder Wagon. (3 images[...]
Yesterday, we received another very welcome package from my wife’s cousin Shiram (in Odessa). It was a giant Luvs diaper box, crammed full of clothes that her daughters have outgrown. (1 image and links to 2 images after the jump)
In my fatigue, when I blogged last night, I forgot to mention that the trip to Ponca City was entirely funded by my parents as birthday presents to Marline and I. They paid for the gas, the entrance to the Marland Mansion, and for our lunch at Blue Moon Cafe (in Ponca City) and for[...]
Marline was sweet enough to bring me a shirt from her layover in Houston, Texas, where she had to change planes at the George H.W. Bush Airport. Here’s a picture:

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[...]
