Z can walk really well now, and she can walk fast. Like, look-away-a-minute-and-she's-at-the-other-end-of-the-house-throwing-the-phone-into-the-bathtub fast. So there may not be a lot of writing here for ...
I shan't be going to Blogher this year after all. Why? Well. A has to travel for work then and I'd have to take Z ...
Z is now a walker. She taught herself to walk carefully, meticulously, and with lots of caution designed to avoid encounters with anything that might ...
Iran news and images via Twitter. Can't look away. And it breaks my heart: I don't see a way around more violence and bloodshed and ...
Kedves Zsuzsi! Now that you are a year old, it seems only fair that you should get a letter from me. After all, you can almost ...

We are in Detroit! About which I am ridiculously excited except for some minor glitches, about which more below. And no, we're not staying in ...
Turns out my local mom-friends and I are in a fairly small minority. One could say fringe minority. Let me explain. Obsessions die hard and I've been ...

It's that time of the year: when holidays turn most religious - Easter and Passover, coming together as they do. My own point of view is ...
There is a shrieking noise Z emits whenever she has to spend time being shuttled to and from somewhere around town strapped in her car ...
Current firsts: In addition to the word 'lamp,' Z recognizes the dog's name. She now likes putting things into and taking them out of containers. Endlessly. Until ...
Baby Z understands the word 'lamp'. In Hungarian, for starters. (What that means? That I've been pointing out lamps to her very diligently of late. ...

1. Turns out I'm a very lazy twitterer (tweeter?). Every few days I write down some tiny fact going on right then and there that's ...
Nevertheless, its what finally got Z to try fingerfoods: I baked some sugary pecan-fig-orange cookies that she was rather taken with. Yes, I know how ...
Our pediatrician's appointment today could, all things considered, have gone better. We did indeed fail the nutrition portion of today's exam, although developmentally all's well ...
The Oscars this year? Rather satisfying, weren't they? Appropriately cabaret-like: loved Hugh Jackman's hosting. Isn't it more fun when Hollywood mostly does not pretend to ...
It's so windy outside I'm afraid to go for a walk. Does that sound ridiculous? It is. But there are a lot of trees in ...
My life is strewn with first things lately. Z sat directly in the cart yesterday at Target. She loved it. She twisted herself every which way ...
