Picture for Christmas Letter
Originally uploaded by Wandering Eyre
It was a banner year at the Smith House. Gideon liked opening presents, though he liked the bows and paper more than the actual gifts. Of course.
Our Christmas was a three day extravaganza. It started at the Smith/Hewson house on the 23rd. We did the full Christmas dinner [...]
Baking Day

I am still suffering from a post baking day hangover. A hangover from eating too many cookies and M&Ms while making dozens and dozens of my favorite treats. Of course, it does not help that I have been snacking on said cookies since Saturday. The hair of the dog and all that nonesense.
Gideon and I [...]

Sorry for the large white reflection in the top of this picture. That is just my flash reflecting off a snowflake. An actual flake of frozen rain, turned into beautiful fluff, and falling in our neighborhood. In Houston, no less. Who would have thought?
It was fun. The kids and adults of [...]

I was flipping through some ads and Gideon, in an effort to get my newspaper, crawled to me.
It was a jerky sort of scoot and crawl, but he definitly did the alternating leg/arm motion.
My life is over. Over.
Sigh.
There and Back Again

Yesterday, Gideon had an appointment at the Meyer Center at Texas Children’s Hospital. They like to do a developmental check at 6 months and a year and a half after discharge to make sure that the child is progressing normally and to help them if they are not.
I was not too concerned about us learning [...]

Dear Gideon,
Today, you are seven months old. Each day that I wake up to your sparkling blue eyes is a day that I cherish. You have learned so much in seven short months. Your cognitive abilities amaze me. You know your place in world, in a way that every adult wishes [...]
Pancakes – Solved!

I have been having some pancake trouble. Mostly getting my pancakes to be as fluffy as when I use a mix, like Bisquick. With the advice of my friend Jason and a dash on thought on my part, I substituted half the flour in my whole wheat recipe, namely all the regular unbleached flour, for [...]
