Aug. 15, 2012: Milestone
I’m usually announcing milestones for my daughter, but today I announce a milestone for my wife: she swam for the first time.
Aug. 9, 2012
A pretty good day overall.
July 29, 2012
Rebecca’s throat was hoarse most of the day — but she had no other symptoms of a cold. We swam for another two hours today. She used her potty after Mommy got home from work — the first time since Val was here. Ate well. Supper: take-out from Yank-Sing. Weather: 103°F again, our 12th 100-degree[...]
July 28, 2012: Swimming Improvement
A couple of days ago, Rebecca floated in her inner tube for the first time. Mostly she kept clinging to Mommy or me, but occasionally floated on her own. Today however, she was completely comfortable in it. I took her swimming this morning as our outdoor temperature crested 90°F at 9:30 a.m. She put the[...]
July 23, 2012: Movies in Shifts
Unlike many parents these days, we agreed — before even getting married or considering children — that we wouldn’t take our baby or child to a movie theater (1) until the child was old enough to sit through a movie and enjoy it without crying or yapping like a miniature dog, and (2) unless the[...]

Dumped bags of topsoil in backyard low spots. Went to pool, spent 15 minutes cleaning pool first — all chairs and tables were IN the pool, except for the one table that was disassembled and the one that had been tossed over the fence into the weeds. Swam for about an hour. Lunch at home.[...]
July 19, 2012: Bathroom #2 Faucet
Today was a full day by all measures.
June 28-29, 2012
June 28 (Thursday): swam in morning; met nice couple from Massachusetts (visiting their son here); RLF liked them. Went to Dick’s Sporting Goods in afternoon, mainly because we’ve lived here three years and hadn’t been in there before; didn’t buy anything. Barely saw 100°F. June 29 (Friday): swam in back yard, inflatable pool. High of[...]
June 25, 2012
Weather: Hit 100°F at 1:30 p.m. Climbed to 103 by 5 p.m. and stayed there a few hours.
June 21, 2012
The last couple of days, I’ve started to sense that Rebecca’s on the cusp of switching from toddlerhood to childhood.

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[...]
- Forgot To Mention: May by Wil C. Fry
➤ 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[...]
- May 18, 2013: More Hotter by Wil C. Fry
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[...]

- May 14: Ikea & 34 Weeks by Wil C. Fry
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[...]
