Kiddy Mixxage

this is how we roll DJ Ripley re:ups (for only 7 days?) a mix she made recently for friends who have kids. I count myself in that company. It’s not what most people would finger for kids music, which I appreciate. I can only hear “Froggy Went A-Courtin” so many times. Then again, if it […]

Walkie Talkie

look at her go! (watch both at once!) nico’s been adding words to her lexicon at an exponential rate. sometimes she means what they usually mean, but sometimes she’ll use them more broadly. so, for instance, she says “uh oh” if something falls to the ground, but she’ll also say it as she’s deliberately tossing […]

Baby New Year Too!

I’m pretty sure this will be the last January 1st that I get to do this, but I’m thrilled to announce yet again that the coming year will bring us a baby! In lieu of any ultrasound mashups this time around, I offer instead a few ultrasound flicks — Kid B, as we’re calling her […]

Yes, I Call Her Mischievous Boo

Today marks 10 months since Nico joined us. It’s hard to believe, until you take a look and see that she’s already practically walking and talking (well, not quite yet). You know how parents say stuff like, “They grow up so fast.” Well, it’s true. They do. Seriously, our little baby is hardly a baby […]

A Few of My Favorite Things

1) In Obama’s speech last night, he reached out to those who voted against him and did so in an utterly eloquent, firm, and — to my ears — somewhat sly manner: To those Americans whose support I have yet to earn — I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, […]

Vulture Shark Sculpture Park*

A few weekends ago, me & B & the Neeks visited the Decordova Museum in nearby Lincoln, MA. It’s a favorite spot of ours for taking a stroll or having a picnic, and we were gassed to bring Nico to a place filled with such marvels. I was pretty amused, actually, by her bemused reactions […]

Living with Cheerios

I knew that having children would also mean having cheerios. Finding them under foot, in the creases of the car seat, stuck to the wall, etc. When Becca and I moved into our present apartment — previously lived in by a couple and their one-year-old — we cleaned from top to bottom what was already […]

Nico Nico Video (6 Month Version)

It’s hard to believe, but Nico passed the 6 month mark a week ago. I’ve been working intermittently on a Nico Concreto followup charting the last few months (the latter half of ol’ girl’s life), and tho I’m not completely satisfied with what I’ve assembled, if I don’t share it soon she’ll have become (if […]
