While we were practicing music for church, Silas was getting in some walking practice. {Note: please mute the audio if you’re expecting perfect musicianship. This has been a public service announcement. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.} Yes, the onesie he has on is too small for him (even though it fit him just… Read More The Humanoid Walks
Silas took three steps tonight! He was standing in front of me, holding a paper towel. All of the sudden, he took three steps forward and then fell to his hands and knees. He’s been trying to take a step since last week, but he actually accomplished it tonight. Baby took several more steps as… Read More First Steps!!
Silas has decided it’s time for a career change. The magazine rack just isn’t as interesting as it used to be. Although we installed some cabinet locks a while ago, they haven’t really been needed until this past week when Silas discovered how to open drawers and cabinets. I’m thinking more locks are needed ASAP!At… Read More From Librarian to Chef
Friday, Baby turned 10 months old. The day was overcast–for once–so a morning visit to the park was not only bearable, but pleasant. Baby now stands on his own and can clap or hold a toy while doing so. This past month he’s begun cruising around the furniture. He most often uses his crab crawl… Read More Standing Tall

Baby is 9 months old today. I recently held my friend’s newborn baby girl and couldn’t believe how tiny she was. Then I remembered that Silas was even smaller than she was at birth! This growing happens so gradually, yet so quickly. Just in case there’s any doubt that Silas will be the most documented… Read More Snapshot of Silas
Little Bitty Boy has us on high alert these days. His army crawl (more accurately dubbed “the inchworm” by our friend Becky) has opened new horizons for him. Silas is loving the vertical blinds, the magazine rack, the stereo speakers, and electrical cords. We find ourselves constantly moving the little man to safer playtime options.… Read More Clapping, Waving, and Exploring
Silas (and Mommy & Daddy) are surviving our first baby fever and cold. After Silas’s fever subsided on Monday, the sneezing, coughing, red eyes, runny nose, and crankiness set in. It certainly seemed that he whimpered and cried constantly yesterday. Not only is he miserable, but I’m sure he’s confused as well.We were up for… Read More Sick Boy at 7 Months
Teething has begun. Last week Silas’s two front teeth barely made their appearance, peeking shyly up at the world from his lower gum. I was sitting on a park bench with a friend when she said she spotted teeth! I thought it was highly doubtful. Silas has been the King of Drool for 2 months… Read More From Gummy Smile to Toothy Grin
Superhero Silas! Although Stephen has been told that he looks like Superman (aka Clark Kent), the superhero featured here is Silas Clark (who turns 5 months today). Silas’s superpower is making things moist. It’s incredible the way he can dampen anything within his reach. He’s doing his part to irrigate the desert. His other adorable… Read More It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s…
