And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even…
…a baby.”
Happy Holidays from the Menagerie House, and may your New Year be the most fabulous year ever.

Down to The Last Few Ribbons and Bows
Posted in Kieran, Liam, holidays, pictures on December 24, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Whew! It’s amazing I managed to post at all this month. It’s been crazy. But with the exception of a couple of packages that still need to be wrapped, we are ready for Christmas. We arranged and purchased the class gift for Liam’s teacher and her assistant. Tips and seasonal gifts for various people have [...]
Three Down For The Count
Posted in Kieran, Liam, holidays, milestones, pictures on October 31, 2008 | 4 Comments »
On Tuesday I met up with a new milestone in my parenting career. Right around noon I got a call from the Waldorf School. On the other end of the phone was Liam’s sweet teacher, who was concerned because he was “warm, his cheeks flushed, and all he’s interested in is staring at [...]
The Next Stage
Posted in Kieran, cute conversations, milestones on October 19, 2008 | 5 Comments »
I’d forgotten how delightful 18-month-olds can be. Kieran at 18 months is a delightful combination of baby and little boy. One moment he’s clinging to Mommy, and the next he’s attempting to cross the street by himself. While we never know from moment to moment whether we’re dealing with a baby or a [...]
Scenes From Summer

Well, since I did promise a photo run-down of our summer, I guess I’d better get to it. Being as it is October now, and my laptop is finally back in my loving arms, and all that stuff. During this summer I was keeping the blogging and the photography light in order to give myself [...]
The Disadvantages of Co-Sleeping
Posted in Kieran, everyday stuff on September 18, 2008 | 5 Comments »
We are a family of co-sleepers. Both of our kids have been in our bed since they were newborns. Liam moved out when he was two - or three, I can’t remember for sure, but he comes back some nights just to fall asleep, and then we move him into his bed later on. Kieran [...]
It’s A Good Thing He’s Cute!
Posted in Kieran, cute conversations, pictures on July 24, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Kieran has most of the tricks you’d expect of a baby his age - he totters along, stumbling occasionally, uses 9-10 words with regularity, eats with utensils (except when it’s more fun to finger paint with spaghetti sauce), draws a straight line, and when pressed, throws a pretty decent temper tantrum. However, the child has [...]
Distract The Baby!

At Target a while ago were a bunch of board games on clearance. I picked up several to have on hand on rainy days just as something to chase away boredom. Well, one of those boring, rainy days struck last week, so I grabbed one of the games. The game itself is not that hard, [...]
Three Big Milestones With One Small Step
Posted in Kieran, birthdays, milestones on June 4, 2008 | 9 Comments »
Liam, Kieran, and I were on the front porch tonight untangling some wind chimes. I was sitting on the porch with Kieran standing next to me holding my shoulder for balance. He’s been doing this stand-’n’-grab, along with the full-scale cruising moves for weeks now, so I wasn’t paying that much attention to him. Then, [...]
The Wisdom of A Child
Posted in Kieran, Liam, cute conversations on June 2, 2008 | 5 Comments »
When it comes to Liam, he is generally a wonderful big brother. He plays with Kiri, cheers him on when he accomplishes a new skill, and baby talks and hugs him several times a day. But, especially since Kiri became mobile, some waves of angst have appeared on the lake of brotherhood. Kiri is a [...]
