Weekend Update

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

Well, things are going fine here.  Gman continues to grow and improve in his awareness and communication skills.  He loves to make this really high pitched squeal at the cat and dog.  He giggles when I help him fly like superman.  And, when he is frustrated he makes these cute little grunting noises.  

He is still on a three nap schedule with five feedings during the day.  He usually sleeps about 11 hours at night and about 4 hours or so during the day.  Sometime around 6 months we will begin to incorporate cereal into his diet and he will go to two naps a day and four feedings a day. I am just looking forward to those diapers.

During the day, we give him plenty of time in the bumpo chair to let him work on his ability to sit up.  He also gets plenty of tummy time which usually consists of him holding his arms out in front of him and lifting his legs up behind him.  Actually, having spent a few sessions in the gym doing something similar, I am surprised he can indure as much “flying” as he does.  

G is very good at lifting up the front of his body with his arms but his legs and torso stay on the ground - think lazy man’s pushup.  He isn’t crawling yet, but I can see the wheels turning as he tries to figure out how to move from point a to b.  Usually, in trying to move from a to b, when he is on his stomach, he trows his arms and legs up and down in one quick motion as if he was trying to blink himself along.  It is very cute to us, but a little frustratiing to him.

Below are a few pictures we took this afternoon.  In two of the pictures, you will see G pretending to be me as I am sure I look just as silly sitting in front of my computer all day.  I love my family :)

OpenSoureKids and You

Monday, June 16th, 2008

As you know, several months ago we changed from opensourcebaby.com to opensourekids.com.  One of our primary reasons for making the jump was to allow other parents or parents-to-be the ability to write and share their experiences with all the OSK readers.  In other words, the blog isn’t necessarily just about our adventures, but it can be about your adventures too.

So, if you are a parent or a parent-to-be and would like to use OSK as a means of sharing with family, friends, and others that just want to learn or follow the adventures of parenting, just drop me an email and I will set you up with an account.  

You will be able to publish as often as you want and you can use the OSK system we built to distribute your content.  We would love to have new authors and parents to share tips, news, and advice with us all.  So, drop me an email if you are interested in having an account setup for you to add to the blog.
