DD – Day 7

You thought I was slipping, didn’t you? Today we took David for his
speech evaluation. As part of that, the evaluator showed him a bunch of
photos and asked him to say what they are. When he saw a couch, he said
“Couch, mommy couch.” and then they showed a book and he said “Mommy’s
book.” That prolly sums up my life for the last 20 days that I’ve been
sick. Mommy on the couch with a book.

DD – Day 6

David was playing so happily that when he saw me grab the camera, he was
amused and even posed for me.

DD – Day 5

Today was one of a lot of fun and horsing around with Daddy. Here are a
bunch of others from the same fun moments.

DD – Day 4

Oh uh. David was not very accommodating with the photo taking today. I
hope this is not a trend.

DD – Day 3

Today’s shot is of David looking out the window and watching the rain.
It’s a good thing I was sick and not at work. I hate rain.

DD – Day 2

Another Christmas present shot. Jake’s parents got David a bunch of toys
and one of them was this hat which is David’s new favorite toy.

DD – Day 1

And here is our daily David for Jan 1st. I couldn’t miss this amazing
little moment where, as always, David enjoyed the boxes his presents
came in more than the presents themselves.

Fitzgerald Marine Reserve

My friend Nicholas and I spent a delightful day at the Fitzgerald Marine
Reserve a few weekends ago. I’ve been meaning to put the photos up for a
long time and have finally gotten around to it. More here.

Happy Holidays.

My First Pumpkin Carving

I guess I’m going to have to cheat tonight since I’ve had a wonderful,
but long day. I need to go to sleep and give my brain a much-needed
break. So here’s the photo of the very first pumpkin I’ve ever carved.
As an interesting side bit, while I was carving this, we had the first
earthquake I’ve felt since moving to San Fran area.

David and Franklin

David doesn’t normally play with other kids very often. He doesn’t
dislike them or anything. I just think he’s not used to it since he was
at home so much of his life. Or so I’ve been telling myself. That
coupled with his speech delay had me a bit worried. But if I had any
worries that he liked other kids, that worry was put to bed this past
weekend when we went to San Diego.

When my friend Nicole and her 3.5 year old, Franklin, met us at the
mall, I had no idea Franklin and David were going to hit it off this
well. The ran around and played for hours. They climbed trees, they
chased each other, they tickled each other, they danced together, and
they even hugged! It was the most amazing thing to watch and brought
tears to my eyes.
