Separation anxiety
Posted in Milestones, Uncategorized on January 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Ronin is starting to show signs of separation anxiety. He cries when he can’t see me and cries sometimes when he can see me but I’m not holding him. Last night, for the first time, he cried every time he woke up. Justin offered me sympathy this morning, thinking I’d been up all night long [...]

This past weekend was Justin’s work holiday party, and it marked the first time we’ve been out together without the babies since they were born nearly six months ago. I had been looking forward to the event for weeks. It was in San Jose, so we had an hour of driving each way and we [...]
More crawling

Claire is getting better at crawling forward. She crawls a few feet, belly-flops, and gets up and does it again. I keep wanting to post a video for you, but Justin says to wait until she does it perfectly, and that way it will be even more impressive. I never realized how gradual some of [...]

Ronin is officially army crawling now (elbows and knees) and he can move really quickly. What is really cool is that he seems to have some kind of object permanence now. Justin hid the remote control from him and he crawled around a barrier to get it.
Claire is getting up on her hands and knees [...]
Solid foods

There is something really satisfying about making the babies’ food and seeing them happy and eating. I know I’ve been doing that since day one, but this is different. I have made yams and pears for them so far. We started out by just feeding the babies with our fingers, and that [...]
Baby sounds

The babies have been going through some interesting changes with their vocalizations. Ronin has developed an intentional cough. He found that he could make this noise and now he does it frequently instead of cooing. Last week, Claire was growling a lot. Then she discovered her shriek. I think there is definitely some genetic commonality [...]
Catching up

We’re in the middle of a big three-day storm system here. There are supposed to be hurricane-force winds and a lot of rain. Even now, the rain is coming down like crazy and sheets of water are running down the street in front of our house. We’ll go check our storage shed this weekend to [...]
Congratulations to Justin!

We found out today that as of December 31st, he is officially a doctor! I have seen how hard he’s worked and how long he’s applied himself to getting his PhD, and I have nothing but admiration for him.
