One more thing

Today we spent almost an hour on Skype with Gigi so Walker could show off all his new tricks: Creating a big O with his mouth and making “OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH” noises Trying to put on his shoes Walking Speed crawling Stacking BOTH sets of his rings Singing “Itsey Bitsey Spider” complete with hand gestures Blowing kisses […]

So, we’ve said before how much we love the Discovery Channel. And the recent promos they’ve done for their network are fantastic. We’re drawn to one particular promo because of the astronauts, the catchy tune, and the inspiring message. And, from a marketing perspective, it’s brilliant — encompassing every popular show and all the different […]

Larry’s back! Larry’s back! OK, so he’s been back for a week and a half but things have been so hectic that I haven’t been able to post. You see, the San Diego Comic Convention was quite a whirlwind this year (no different from other years) but there’s been a lot more media attention about […]

I have a long night ahead doing paperwork for our comic company but I had to document a few simply exceptional things that happened. Today is one of those rare San Francisco sunny-and-calm-and-not-too-hot-summer-days. As Larry is away at Comic-Con in San Diego (and it’s a zoo down there, everyone is covering it from Entertainment Weekly […]

When I was a little girl, my Daddy took me to professional baseball games out at Candlestick. We’d try to go to the Giants vs. the Reds and we’d sit in the stands and FREEZE our tails off. He’d sit and explain the game — the nuances of baseball strategy, the history of the players […]

Like many kids, I had a savings account when I was a tyke. I recall loving when the few dollars I deposited were typed into my little passbook. When I was about ten, Poppo, my grandfather, felt that I should graduate to a checking account. He wanted to ensure I knew how to manage money […]

  We’ve done a few posts without photos so this will be a post without many words. This weekend we wanted to update the Buddah picture so we will be able to chronicle Walker’s development in an iconic sort of way. I’m sure you can pick out which photos were taken recently (hint, there is […]

It’s 6:30 on Independence Day and we’ve spent the last two hours in the living room with the TV on. No, I’m not stunting the brain development of our wonderful little man with movies or even childhood programming (although I’m jonesing to see something that has more than a 60 minute running time in a […]

Height: 29.5 inches Weight: 22lbs 4oz Head: 46.5 cm On Friday, Walker went in to be weighed and measured. He continues to flourish — Dr. Mimi says he’s not too thin and he’s not too fat. She went over the nutrition information — 20oz of milk per day, 5 servings of fruits/veggies, etc. She said […]

Walker started his 1st birthday the same way he started his actual birthday — by greeting Kalamai, the labor and delivery nurse. The greeting was a bit less traumatic today than a year ago. He only had to get out of his car seat to say “hi”. We thought it would be nice to thank […]
