  • A different kind of picky eater

    A different kind of picky eater

    Here at the kitchen table, sits Quince and I enjoying our lunch while I spend time updating my website(finally!). Admittedly, I don’t have my laptop at the table when we all sit together but in this case I had just gotten my food ready and sat down when he woke up from his nap. Go…

  • Keeping watch

    Keeping watch

    It’s been some time since I posted anything. Life has been rather busy these days and some of it was rather unexpected. Quince is generally a very happy tot. Back in November, he took interest in the toilet. For Christmas he received a toddler insert seat. That alone improved our ease and frequency of use.…

  • Q’s first honor!

    Q’s first honor!

    Our certificate arrived right after Thanksgiving! What a range of goodies too; including a guide on National Parks for kids, a calendar, a lanyard and Buddy! Thanks again to everyone at the National Park Trust. We now have Buddy in each car posed and ready for any moment an adventure might present itself. In other…

  • Q’s feature!

    Q’s feature!

    Hello, hello! As you may have noticed the Bison Log has gotten some real attention. Who would have thought this when I sent in a picture of Quince up at Hurricane Ridge(photo below) he would be part of their newsletter. To make a long story short, after I sent in this photo, I received an…

  • The “hahahahaa” heard across the room

    The “hahahahaa” heard across the room

    Some time ago Quince decided that my ipod touch was meant for him. He claimed it and I have rarely seen it since. I am still allowed to use it when we go on a walk and I play music with it but generally speaking that’s it. On this ipod, we have added a few…

  • A sign of getting older

    We made the choice to change the orientation of Quince’s carseat from rear facing to forward. Why you ask? Well, the answer is quite simple. First, our car seat was made before the new recommendation and thus not technically designed to extend rear face. Second, he was kicking the seat back with so much force…

  • First Haircut

    First Haircut

    Today Quince got his first haircut, and it was traumatic for him. At least that’s probably what he would have told you if he had more words to express it. We went to a barber shop which has been downtown for as long as I can remember, called Laurel Barber Shop. Although, Richard informed me…

  • Staying on your toes

    Summer greetings! Many might be wondering where my posts have been recently. Truth be told, with Quince walking and trying his best to talk, it doesn’t leave a lot of sit down and update time. Generally when I reach for my laptop, so does he. While he knows he’s not suppose to touch it(most of…

  • We have a big kid now

    While driving home from Seattle yesterday morning, Quince was of course in his car seat. When we loaded into the car as the ferry was docking, I gave him his cup of water. It’s just your normal cup with a straw. As we were just reaching Port Gamble, I looked into the mirror to check…

  • 1 year old

    Quince is now officially a toddler, walking and teeth and almost talking. So far he says: hi, bye, mama and dada(sometimes). Also understands a bunch others which he can’t actually pronounce still, including shaking his head for yes or no. When he wants to he can give the best hug/snuggle. He’ll dance to just about…
