Our son Will is now 2 years and 9 months old. In recent months, his language development has accelerated considerably, which has been exciting for my wife and I to watch. He frequently surprises us with random movie quotes or repeating things we say… which brings no shortage of amusement […]

April 25, 2013 Journal: “Watching Cartoons While You Work” by John DiBiase
It’s been a few months since I last wrote, but things have been far from uneventful. Will’s still growing and changing pretty much daily and the things that he says make us laugh all the time. It’s intriguing to note how much we often have to ‘roll with the punches,’ […]
January 24, 2013 Journal: “Speech!” by John DiBiase
Will’s speech and comprehension of seemingly random things keeps amping up. Just the other night, we were out at a diner and he was holding a toy and suddenly raised it in the air and declared “Up!” And put it down and proclaimed, “Down!” And, I forget what the objects […]
January 11, 2013 Journal: “Heart Melts” by John DiBiase
I think one thing that has stalled updates on this site is the self-inflicted “pressure” of blogs or articles needing to feel entertaining enough to read. Most bloggers take this approach but what I think I’d like to do instead is… take the journal approach. You see, our little 2 […]
“To infirmary… And BEYOND!” by John DiBiase
With every week — and sometimes every day — offering new experiences in the parental role, one unexpected encounter came when I went in to have my blood taken earlier this week on Monday. The unimportant detail to this story is it was a routine check-up on the levels of […]
“Boy Story” by John DiBiase
Twenty one (and almost a half) months! While it’s been a few months since my last blog, these weeks in between posts have been anything but dull. Watching Will develop has been quite the site, as he’s a walking, running, toddling babbler. He doesn’t really speak much yet, although he’s […]
“Happy Valentine’s D–HEY! Come Back Here!” by John DiBiase
So it’s been a couple months of adjusting to life with a growing, fully mobile little boy running around. Will is now 16 and a half months, and this two-legged freedom he’s now experiencing has brought new joys AND challenges our way. I’m definitely enjoying having a walking toddler around […]
“Look Who’s Walking Now” by John DiBiase
Just in time for Christmas, Amy and I got our wish when Will took his first couple daring steps on his own. For weeks leading up to this momentous event, he had enjoyed being lead around by the hands or shimmying himself along counter tops and other edges while standing. […]
“Learning to Walk” by John DiBiase
It’s been several weeks since I last wrote about our adventures in parenting, but it’s really been just several weeks of a waiting game: when will the little beastie learn to walk? While we wait for Will to take the leap of faith, so to speak, it’s still pretty amusing […]
“Full-Contact Birthday Cake” by John DiBiase
So, this past Saturday, we celebrated our little guy’s very first birthday! (well….. technically, last year was his “birth day”… but he would have died if we tried to give him birthday cake as soon as he emerged into the world) On his actual day, we gave the little guy […]
