Two front teeth, only. Cruising. Everything is “dada” – you are, I am, his book is, his toys are, and sometimes even his actual Dada. “No, you can’t have that!” Comes to Mama. Wants a bite of whatever you’re having. Stands in his bathtub! Stands …

still shacked-up with our 6 month old
After the new year, we decided, we would finally move Dylan’s crib out of our bedroom. It would be a little bit of a project. The crib would have to be taken apart because it is much too big to fit through the door. And …
