Morning: Dropped off two large garbage bags of old baby clothes and one box of baby shoes at a clothing donation charity. (It was all girl stuff that we can’t use for Benjamin, and stuff that was too small to give to the neighbors’ baby girls.) Shopped at Dollar General. Naptime Movie: Tucker & Dale[...]
Billy Bob’s Burgers, Killeen, Texas (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) We had lunch at Billy Bob’s Burgers, our second visit there. Rebecca had a couple of bites of bun, one bite of meat, and two tater tots — and a lot of Mommy’s pink lemonade. I still think they’re the[...]
Ikea in the morning; ate in the store. Picked up a teapot for my wife, 2 Bygel rails, 1 Grundtal rail, and a few other items for me. The rails are now attached to my new garage shelves, where I can hang things from them. Also bought silicone pot holders. They work better than expected.
My wife worked 1-11 p.m. today, an odd night shift. In the morning, she and Rebecca went grocery shopping. Mistake. Who knew everyone else in town went grocery shopping on Labor Day morning? We figured it wouldn’t be crowded then, but it was.
Picked up some sheet sets, a comforter, and a mattress protector for the bunk bed mattresses. Rebecca really wanted a Spongebob Squarepants lunchbox (which was only $6), but I told her she can’t go to school as long as she’s still in diapers. During Mommy’s hair appointment, Rebecca watched the entirety of “Shrek” (90 minutes),[...]
105°F today. Swam in late morning — after picking 12-15 deck chairs out of the pool, which is becoming a regular routine. This time I took a photo of the chairs in the pool to send to the HOA. When I reported it before, they acted like they didn’t believe me.
One piece of furniture we’re still lacking (for the future) is a bed for Rebecca. She’s been sleeping on a futon on the floor, and seems to really like that, but… it’s unseemly. We’d decided on a bunk bed setup for her and a (future) sibling. It should be the kind that can separate into[...]
First thing, checked sink for leaks — none. New faucet is higher, swivels, and is brushed nickel finish instead of chrome.
Again, humid & cooler than usual (only 90°F today) then rain in the afternoon. This morning, Rebecca cut her first two top molars, finally bringing her upper teeth into balance with her lower ones. She has 16 teeth now; only four to go.
July 2: mowed in a.m.; afternoon: visited Big Lots & Target. Rebecca held coupons for me and handed them to the cashier when prompted. July 3: Rebecca ate a grape for the first time. We’d given up offering them to her since she always refused. Today, she asked me for a “bah” (her word for[...]
➤ 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[...]
Big Milestone: Rebecca is now Three Feet Tall. Not quite tall enough for the WNBA, but on her way. She also crossed the 27-pound threshold for the first time (that we know of; we haven’t weighed her in a while). She’s 2.58 years (31 months) old. Compared to me: My mother didn’t record my height[...]
