Fun and games in toddler land
Almost-18-month-old Joshua managed to lock himself in the upstairs bedroom today, so that was exciting. Not old enough to follow directions on how to unlock the door again, of course. And no hinges on my side of the door, and no screws on my side of the doorknob ( Read more... ) -
Cooking at my house

Yay
Joshua Robert was born at noon 7/28/14, 10 lbs 1 oz, 21 inches long. About 8 hours of labor, compared to his brother's 17, but damn fast hurts more. A lot more. Still, 10 minutes of pushing and no tears for a ten pounder is pretty damn good.
