no more nursing
as of about a week ago, it seems we have officially stopped nursing - egon is a fully weaned child! haha! it had been only morning and evening for a long time, and then just once a day at bedtime for a good few months… and it has been pretty brief lately and felt like totally a comfort thing rather than egon actually getting a significant amount of milk that way. he’s been drinking...

“mmmmmmmm… double-u”
– egon, eating alphabet soup!
approaching 20 months... egon's favorite things
his choo-choo train
jumping in the pool
his best friend penny
pizza
and posing!
he’s starting to string words together to form small sentences! ”mama, daddy, tracks!” - translated - “come on mummy and daddy, play with my train with me!” he knows what he wants, and he’s beginning to be able to ask for it with words, or refuse to do as we say with...

“one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!”
– by george, he’s got it!
“four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!”
– according to egon, numbers start at 4…
long-distance-walking...
today egon walked all the way home from daycare, holding my hand. only minor upsets at being stopped before crossing the streets. big progress! :)
Watchabcs with egon!
trying to catch up....
you know when you forget to do something for so long, it becomes harder and harder to do it? yeah. ok i need to recap the last few months or so!
so our vacation in florida back in april was lovely - egon really had a good time on the beach, the weather was perfect and we even got to relax a bit as he was so into just sitting and digging in the sand!
on the beach, singing the wheels on the...

now climb up onto our bed on his own, climb onto the yellow rocking chairs, say brrrrrrmm brrrrmmm when playing with cars or looking at pictures of cars, take his jacket off once it’s unzipped, say ‘go’, and say ‘no’ (allll the time!!!), eat a whole kiwi fruit in one sitting, eat using a full sized fork! and we think we’ve heard a couple of ‘thank...
“draw”
– egon’s clearest and most used word to date. and used appropriately, while he’s drawing, when he wants to draw, etc. our little artist!
a glimpse of spring
with rosalie and penny at the tot lot today. there were a lot of puddles and egon managed to be a total boy and get himself completely soaked and muddy! but the sun was out and we couldn’t be happier about it! here comes spring!!
stomping in puddles for the first time!
our city kid.
molar #1
is starting to poke through on the top right of egon’s mouth, bringing with it intense inconsolable screaming fits. poor bugger.
despite this, new words are being added to his vocab every day: shoe, cat, ball, apple. brilliant!
“up”
– egon at the part of ‘the foot book’ where it says ‘up in the air feet’. he’ll also duck down and spring up on command, and we have daycare to thank for those ones!
“duck!”
– egon, in the bath with his toy duck and duck book, and looking at the duck in ‘brown bear brown bear what do you see?’
we're a family that goes to the playground
at last! egon’s walking skills have brought a whole lot of new fun to the great outdoors! we let him loose in playgrounds both local and in the city this weekend and he had a great time. next stop… the park! just as soon as the grass dries out a little and the weather’s a little more consistent.
first time playing in the sand at union sq. playground. time to get a sandpit...

our little swimmer
egon and penny have been taking swimming lessons! it’s been a bit of a chore getting to them with all this snow we’ve been having, but it’s really worth the effort to see the kids getting more and more confident in the water and enjoying themselves! i was impressed to see egon really kicking his legs today as i moved him through the water. hopefully he’ll be...
Watchwalk to mummy!! yay!!
Watchegon’s got the groove! dancing babies are so awesome!
egon the faker
so the story goes that egon can walk. like really well, like the length of a room, no wobbling. the only trouble is, he is yet to reveal his new skill to his parents. the kid walks at daycare… and nowhere else. we were skeptical (after all, whenever he takes a couple of steps at home they are very uncertain still!) but i have now heard this from two of the daycare staff. they are under...
Watchegon ate a significant amount of tonight’s dinner with no help from us (and no fingers)!
