Callum on hisTummy Originally uploaded by Pamela Parker Caird. Here’s Callum on his tummy, after he rolled from his back to his front for the first time. The last few days, he’s gotten so physical. He’s reaching out and grabbing things (kind of randomly, still, but increasingly purposeful). He’s also squirming around dramatically. We leave him in his crib for a minute and come back to him in a … [Read more...] about Callum Rolls! (Both ways)

At long last, after three+

We come over the bridge just as the sun is coming up and turning the water shades of magenta and orange. … [Read more...] about San Francisco Morning

All of my Houston-area-based family members seem to be relatively unscathed after Rita’s passing, but my Dad’s place — ironically the location where my brother and his family decamped to, to escape the storm — is still without electricity. He’s making do with generator power which, at current gas prices, isn’t cheap. He’s lucky, though, in that he still has water. A friend from another part of … [Read more...] about Rita Update
Callum in His Gym
Here’s more video (click on the picture) of Callum’s chattering. He gets in these moods where he just talks away — mostly to his mobile or to the lights/sounds/smiley face in his gym. But he also talks to us. And, of course, we talk back. It’s a delight. … [Read more...] about Callum in His Gym
