I don’t record many videos, even though my Canon 60D records high-definition video with decent sound. But when I do record them, I generally upload them to my YouTube account. They’re all listed on my website’s Video page. This blog entry is just a note to let you know I’ve caught up; all my recent[...]
June 12 (Tuesday): RLF’s first full meal in which she fed herself entirely by holding spoon, dipping and bringing food to her mouth. She’s been working on this much more patiently than I’d expected. (She often gets very frustrated when trying something and it doesn’t work.) Milestone charts say most kids can “use a spoon[...]

If you remember me mentioning a couple of days ago that I was going to make a DIY light shed… I did, for less than $12. I blogged about the process here, along with five images depicting the materials and process and two images taken inside the light shed to show what it’s good for.[...]
In my previous entry, I mentioned I was going to try a “daily photo challenge” for March. The first day’s challenge was “your shoes”. My shoes aren’t interesting and I couldn’t think of a creative way to photograph them — at first. But I already have set forth my own challenge of photographing Rebecca every[...]
Weather: Misty, foggy, in the mid-60s all morning. Mid-70s and windy/cloudy in the afternoon. Rebecca didn’t go to sleep till after 10 p.m. last night (due to her late nap I’m guessing), but woke up at 6:30 a.m. today and fussy (which is only normal for her if she’s tired). She surprised us by going[...]
My wife said to order the camera now, instead of waiting for the IRS check to arrive. (We should be able to absorb most of the cost from our normal budget anyway.) I ordered it Wednesday afternoon (Amazon); it shipped a few minutes after midnight (early Friday morning) — 33 hours after my order was[...]
It’s 88°F here right now, which is six degrees hotter than the record set just four years ago. (This is after a few record lows a week ago.) Yesterday, I drove to Austin for the Austin Photo Expo (mentioned last year when I went in May). I listened to speakers Maria Bernal (website) in the[...]
As many of you know, I was been working my way through old photos, deleting most of the bad stuff and uploading the rest to my Flickr account. (I’ve mentioned it several times in this blog: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008). All of that got put on hold when my wife and I[...]
Last night and tonight, my wife’s working overnight shifts. The main pitfall of her job here is the unpredictable and sometimes nonsensical schedule. But she does get extra pay for the night shift, so there’s a bonus. Rebecca woke up yesterday evening just after my wife left, and cried very sadly. She just looked around[...]
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[...]

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[...]
