http://operonscript.com Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:50:12 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en So here we are. It has been approximately 6 months since I last did a blog post! This Christmas we were very fortunate to have a break between Dec 24 and Jan 5th so I was able to catch up on a lot of things I needed to take care ... http://operonscript.com/2009/01/05/life-as-of-january-2009-part-1/ So Evelyn has learned a new word in the past few weeks. Whenever I sweep the floor at home I end up collecting lots of bits of dust, bread crumbs, food etc. Evelyn is very interested in them but I stop her from playing with them and say "yuck" to ... http://operonscript.com/2008/07/06/new-word/ Ok I know. Really too long between blog posts. It's kind of hard with a 14 month old toddler in the house! Well the first new development in our lives is that Evelyn has learned how to throw a tantrum. Every time she doesn't get her way she has a meltdown, ... http://operonscript.com/2008/07/02/the-grand-tour/ Having a 1 year old baby is so much better than having a 1 month old baby. I think I'm finally enjoying the time I spend with Evelyn and not having so much stress. As Evelyn is getting older she is starting to understand that we are doing what ... http://operonscript.com/2008/05/27/blue-eyed-girl/ Last week Evelyn turned one year old. Already! We had a small party at our place and some friends of ours (and Evelyn's) came over. We made a sugar-free carrot cake, which unfortunately, Evelyn didn't eat a bite of. She did enjoy the party once she got over the fact that ... http://operonscript.com/2008/05/01/evelyn-is-one-year-old/ So here's one of my summary things we have learned so far about feeding Evelyn solid food. Evelyn is picky. I think her middle name should have been "fickle" instead of "Ada". Her eating preferences change about as often as the surface of Io. Nonetheless she does get a balanced diet ... http://operonscript.com/2008/04/29/feeding-a-picky-eater/ I am officially sick of winter. Today they are expecting 30 cm of snow with 80 km/hour winds and there's another storm coming on Wednesday next week. It's 6:15 AM on Saturday and Dan is moving the car again! Please make it stop! http://operonscript.com/2008/03/08/stop-the-snow-please/ I think I might have accidentally deleted some comments recently. The problem is that my comment system is being totally spammed these days and I get 100 comments each day. Sometimes when I clean them out I actually delete something I want to keep. So if you made a comment ... http://operonscript.com/2008/03/07/doh/ So yes, I had my first (and hopefully last) root canal. When I was 10 weeks pregnant I went for a dental check up and the dentist I was seeing at the time made a comment about one of the fillings he had done for me 2 years ago. He ... http://operonscript.com/2008/02/24/27/ Sometimes I wish I had an easy baby. The good news: Evelyn is finally eating solid food. It took a lot of work and it's hard to say exactly what happened to get her out of that rut, but we're there. Her favourites are yogurt, fruit and sweet potato but she ... http://operonscript.com/2008/02/20/he-had-a-toothachehe-started-cryingit-sounded-like-an-earthquake/
