As has become my wont, I've neglected my annoying mother blogger habits terribly. Julian is now in a very exciting stage of language acquisition (two-word phrases and a rapidly expanding proto-vocabulary) so I should be taking notes all the time, but the sad truth is - I don't, neither online nor offline ( Read more... )

No news on the job thing.

The cold season is beginning so I'm not outside but in here where I can light the fire, or as Julian puts it, "heich" (heiß is German for hot). Cooking is also "heich". His vocabulary is small but beginning to grow - every couple of days, he'll produce a new word. So far, he says "Mama" and "Papa", "Nana" for Grandmother ( Read more... )

... I'm just incredibly, absurdly busy. I try to keep up with the f-list, but most of the time I don't have enough dimes* to comment, let alone type up an entry of my own.

So, while real life (TM) holds me firmly in its claws, have two shots of the kids. (Sorry if you don't like kiddy photos.)

Julian is turning a whole year old, and is now officially a toddler. (He actually learned to walk with assistance a month ago, and made his first unassisted steps a ( Read more... )

After weeks of suffering from sore, swollen gums, Julian got his two lower front teeth at once. Nobody takes me seriously when I tell them this, because they tend to not notice the tiny little incisors, until Julian takes their fingers into his mouth (he still loves to chew on things) and, instead of tough but round gums, they feel sharp little ( Read more... )

Before the past months disappear entirely in the mists of nursing dementia and/or being busy, I'll try to post at least a few things. Not at the length they deserve (probably) but hey, better than nothing, right ( Read more... )

Am alive, 31, and recuperating.
In-depth birth report will probably follow. Sometime. And pictures. (Not of the birth, just of the baby!)

For now, please give a warm welcome to Julian Moritz! Born April 28, 2:52 pm (yes, we were fast this time!), measuring 52 cm and weighing 2960 grams. SO TINY. Currently looks like a very fair-haired version of ( Read more... )

OK. Waters broke. Will be offline for a while. Wish me luck if you have some to spare?

'náro has, so far, been a perfect patient. He's been cleaning himself, but left the stitches alone; he's been feeding, but taken predominantly liquids; he's been moving, but only to turn from one side to the other (avoiding bedsores), reach his food, or heave himself into the litterbox (!); and he's allowed me to give him his meds.
