Jonah Montage Here are some cute clips of Jonah (with special guest stars Madelyn Terral and, of course, Kaeta). These days Jonah enjoys rolling on his tummy, kicking, grunting (oh boy does he like grunting!), and getting attention from his sister. It’s already obvious that he really looks up to her!

Jonah’s new thing this month is rolling over. We’ll lay him down on his back, and before we know it he’s on his tummy. This is great fun for Jonah (and it makes diaper changes all the more fun for us), until he gets tired of being on his tummy after about three minutes. He […]

Here’s an email I just sent to this guy, detailing a weird coincidence from today. Here’s something: Anytime someone makes a Twitter post that includes the word “Kurth,” I get a notice. It’s the lazy man’s way of googling yourself, I guess. Also, my wife’s name is Karianne, but in high school she went by […]

The other day Kaeta had quesadillas for dinner. While I was getting them ready, I told her, “Mr. Schroeder likes to say, I’ve got a bad case of the dillas!” She just stared at me. But then a minute later, she said, “Mr. Doh-dah like to say, I gotta bad case of dee-yas!” And she’s […]

Jonah calls them Swoot Potatoes. The first night Jonah ate sweet potatoes, I misheard Karianne and thought she said “swoot potatoes.” Now whenever we feed those to Jonah, we say (in our “Jonah voice”), “Ooh, swoot potatoes, my favorite!” And boy, can he wolf them down! Granola Thievery. On Sunday we went to Whole Foods, […]

Only four months until varsity try-outs! Every time we mention it, Jonah vigorously flaps his arms in excitement. Jonah’s big news is that he has started solid foods this month, and he loves it. Dinner time is his second favorite time of day; his first being right before bath time when he gets to be […]

Allow me to make a plug for a great product I’ve discovered. To all the nursing moms out there, if you don’t have a “Hooter Hider” — get one! It is one of the best inventions ever. (Plus it has such a great name!) When Kaeta was a baby, I had no idea that anything […]

Here’s something handy: Lifehacker has posted some instructions for converting YouTube videos to mp3s. Often I only care about the audio content of a YouTube video. A couple of years ago, I posted a video of my good friend Johnathan Fowler and me singing Decatur by Sufjan Stevens during a concert Johnathan gave at his […]

1. Historically, April Fool’s Day used to be celebrated on April 2nd. Betcha didn’t know that. 2. Jonah’s on Solids As of this past Saturday, Jonah is eating rice cereal. He loves it, can’t eat it fast enough, and can’t wait to see how much bigger his muscles are getting. 3. I actually completed a […]
