kids and dinosaurs even when surrounded by real animals... The flamingos were sleeping but were a pretty cool sight. Plus the wee man trying to talk them into waking up.

Never need an another alarm clock. 7:15 tap tap tap.... daddy is it time to go to the zoo yet??So the team went on a trip to the new Elephant enclosure at the National zoo.

So Mr. HT sister BioSmith was getting her Master's, i was probably a good time to go visit. So with the wee man in Tow we set off to the great white north. (Mrs. HT unfortunately could not come with)So we navigated DCA and MSP without very MUCH hassle. the plane ride itself was fairly uneventful. The wee man his rock star self charmed the lady in the seat next to him before settling in to

So is it normal that your 3 year old know more than one 4 syllable word and one 5 syllable word?Parasaurolophuswithout looking it up do you know what it is??Yeah so they are all dinosaur names but he knows what they are and can point them out. He has made some progress in the bodily f(x) dept. as bill murray once said "baby steps dr bob"

So I guess I should be happy that he is close. But knowing that he is close is more frustrating than if he was clueless.SO we have turned to having him read on the throne and even watching Itunes. Just have to be patient and hope the the switch will come on and we can work towards consistency.ALthough he has been getting peer pressure at school thanks to the other half of the dynamic duo. Iz

Yesterday was beautiful. It was in the 70's with lots of sun and a light breeze. We decided to go visit Kevin's work and go for lunch at a weird combo pub called The Cutting Sports Bar (Thai Takeaway and Bar Food).We went to the Wellington Botanical Gardens and walked around and saw some beautiful flowers and trees. The kids had an awesome time at the playground. The wee man got to ride his

The Smiths of Rockville have made it to New Zealand. We lost Sunday completely while in the air, but I am pleased to report that we all made it safe and sound. The wee man was a true rock star and had very little unhappiness. We arrived in Auckland where it was raining and about 65 degrees. We transferred to a domestic flight and arrived to beautiful sunny weather in Wellington. Yesterday we

Hello again.The Team has been busy. We got a Christmas tree from Home Depot. (pre lit with LED lights)The wee man is quickly learning to use his very vivid imagination. We switched between playing robotand fixing his "car" like Big Chris from Roary.We also got our first snow of the season here, at Casa de HumanTeam. To which the wee man just had to go out and play. The snow was rather

Yesterday, the Smith family had a trying day to say the least. Although we weren't directly involved in this, I was on the train behind it. I was running late and thankfully caught the next train at 4:45pm. Shoulda, coulda, woulda....Here's the deal - Sean and I both work in downtown DC. Ciaran's daycare is in Olney, MD about 14 miles from work and 2 miles from home. It's a great system,

Little to no traffic the whole Team pushes on through without stopping.Pull into the ol home stead.

For two years I have never been away from my little man for longer than a night or two. The only exception was for a big event that I did for work last year in New York and that was 4 days, until yesterday. Yesterday, the wee man went on an adventure. He happily got into Opa (grandpa) and Oma's (grandma) truck and headed to the beautiful mountains of West (by God) Virginia. He will be gone for

Well ya know you're a parent when others bodily functions become paramount.the wee man pooped on potty. He is not consistent. But damn it happened once. We have started down the path.Here's hoping that it is a short and smooth path.

So many of my friends without children or newly pregnant often ask how to prepare for having children. My honest answer is - you can't, just take it as it comes. I don't think you can truly be prepared for having a kid until you actually have one and experience the ups and downs. So as I was reading from one of my favorite kid/parent blogs, I came across this and I laughed out loud. It's training

Wait what snow??? yeah I liked the picture this was a while ago. psych..So the wee man had his Second birthday with much less fan fare than the first.We had a zoo themed party with hats and beach ball and stuffed animals for the other wee folk that showed up.So better late than never are pictures and commentary from the party.Elephant hat went over very well.Friends and family over (wait that's

So the team went to Dr. JOOOOOOOOOOON, as the wee man calls her. For the big two year check up. Was in a pretty good mood, we got seen relatively quickly. All is good. So we take the clothes off and weigh in. Ring up at 33lbs. Not to shabby, and we stretch out to get measured. 38" tall. WOW. again not shabby. Tech goes away. Nurse N.

The wee man has had many "trimmings" of the hair since he was about a year old. A couple of weeks ago we took him to a kiddie hair cutting establishment to get a little more detailed trip to shape up his mop of curls. While the woman was "trimming", I realized that she had "trimmed" a whole lot more than I had anticipated. Initially I was seething and had to leave, because I LOVE my son's

This is usually a very light hearted blog, but today I am gobsmacked by this news article.This coupled with the puppy mill - I mean IVF fiasco makes me shiver. Happy Friday ya'll.I'll leave you with a pic of the wee man that was taken on Sunday. He has a big boy haircut now (that would be breeched for all of you Middle Ages Anglophiles). He took a ride down the high slide and the twisty slide.

The title says it all. The wee man is now in motor mouth heaven. Every chance he gets to use word in either language or both at the same time he does.The team had a trip to the national zoo. Pictures and more to follow.

Last night the Team is sitting down to dinner. The wee man was having some chicken nuggets. To make sure than some he get some greens we added some dried peas to his meal. Meal was progressing along a good pace. Until He looks at me and says "daddy nose please" So I grab a tissue because he has begun to let us know when his nose is running. HE said it again this time a little more forceful

The wee man has really become a verbal sponge. So we will soon, if not immediately have to be very very careful of what is said in front of him.Swear jar might have to go into effect and HT will have to begin the BSG effect. Frack...We have almost completed the transformation of the spare bedroom downstairs to a play room and the reclamation of the upstairs living room has slowly but surely

Although we haven't had snow of any consequence here of late, the winter solstice arrived yesterday with a blustery wind! It was COLD yesterday and its COLD today. I thought I was dreaming when I started the car and the temperature gauge read 15 degrees. It hasn't been that cold here in a while. The sun is shining so we can all be thankful for that! We are heading off to the mountains of

Why is it that when a kid gets sick and then passes it on to an adult it's always worse than what the kid had? Wee man had a stomach virus that Oma MB unfortunately caught (HT and Mrs. HT luckily skirted the virus valiantly). Said stomach virus dissipated, but his weakened immune system allowed for a cold to sneak in. Mrs. HT took the little guy to the Dr. on Thursday when the "barking" began.

Why b/c the wee man is smart enough to move his training potty over to the edge of the sink and turn on the "agua, agua"I was angry at him, i walked away vented for the requisite count of 10 and finished the bath time ritual.

HT football team lost 2-1unfortunately we had people show up late to the game. Thus I had to start out at left winger instead of between the posts as normal.one of our lovely ladies deputized as GK got caught on the second goal. not bragging I would have got it. (being over a foot taller) Oh and the 35 mph wind made the game tough in the first half. after the second goal I went back into goal

So HT's favorite holiday has come and gone. Halloween. The Celts called it Samhain. As Mrs HT said so snappily posted it is also a birthday. So the Mrs and I selected a costume for the wee man this year. We chose a lion. He is a big fan of lions. he likes to roar when ever he hears the word. Simple right?Hardly. The costume comes in the mail we wash it to avoid the problem we had last

Mr. HT is 34 years old today. Doesn't look a day over 40 - ha ha. Little man helped daddy open his presents and cards last night since we knew there would be chaos tonight. Aunt JM is coming up to see little man in his lion costume. First trick or treating - we are very excited. He doesn't quite know what is going on, but he did pick out his own pumpkin! :) Pictures posted later!

For people other than my sister that is Methane. And the team has been stuck by a plethora of it much to my chargrin.It is chilly and wet in the Metro area its been raining most of the day. If I was in ireland I would say it was a soft day for the most part. Fall is here to stay. I doubt we will get any more summer like weather for more than a day. The wee man is having a pretty good day. 3

So little man has lots of outings with our dear nanny. They "vamano chopping" in the stroller a lot (window shopping) and they visit with all of the regulars at our local strip mall. Once in a while, our nanny will take little man and her grandkids to the Chuck E. Cheese near our house. Unfortunately, he can't eat the pizza (dairy allergy), but he can ride all of the rides. He loves BOB the

Mommy had a girls night out last night and was able to see a band that she was "like totally in love with, like totally" for much of her pre-teen and teen years. Yes, I went to a New Kids on the Block Concert last night at the Phone Booth in DC. I was pleasantly surprised with the show and had a great time with JM and SM. The lights went down and we were 13 again. It was hilarious to see women my

The Little man is becoming a virtual thesaurus.Words and lots of them are all beginning to gel. In both languages.Ms. HT is off on an adventure on the Left coast. It has been guys only for a couple of days.In a rough estimate of the wee mans vocabulary we are at approx. 40 words speaking and more in comprehension.I am not bragging, this make life easier in some instances and MUCH harder in

From grey wet blanket kind of rain to Thor is bowling for dollars kind of rain. Oh well don't think the little man missed much as that kind of noise probably would not have gone over well.Pictures from our

The whole Team went to the DC United Game courtesy of Aunt JM. Who happened to get the requisite tickets. The game of the season because Mr Beckham would be playing for the LA Galaxy and a tough match was going to be had. Given the home field advantage of some of the best fans in the league I was hoping that we would pull out the win.We got off to a slow start and I made the command decision to

My son has it in full. Already at 13 months he is a joker and a total ham...He likes to laugh which is awesome. As pensive as the kid is and can be he also has a giggle streak a mile wide. Now I am not sure where he gets it. I think a solid mixture of the 2 of us.He also has an honest to goodness Dr. Evil Laugh, which I would love to claim as all from me but am unable to..The Whole Team spent

The official talking of the wee man has begun. The usual suspects of "mama" and "dada" are included in the repertoire, however, a new word has sprung up. As many of you know, we have a wonderful nanny who hails from Nicaragua. Her native tongue is Spanish and she muddles through with the English. DH is more insistent on her speaking English, but I like the fact that I'm learning yet another

Until the wee man is a Year. Holy Smoke. Where does it go? Naps and bottles and changing diapers and pick them up and brushing them off and making face and weird noises to keep them entertained...Such is life.Big changes in the HumanTeam. The Mrs. Got a new gig with a non profit. Mr HT got a combat field promotion..Music class on Friday with Little ms A. which was good time. Wee man likes to

Ah the magic of TB XIV...before the main event all the crew got together and reminisced. While the men where downstairs playing rock band. (which is crazy addictive and AWESOME game)I hear a shout from Hambone's wife "C is walking!" I don't pause to stop because I think of course he is. As heard in a earlier post he is close to walking. One more shout and I find out that yes he is taking

So the wee man like to hang out with older women...or maybe that is the luck of the draw that he has...Photos of visits with big Al.Learning to share"of course I know where I am going...."and a visit to KR the younger who name is the feminine derivative of C name so it was tough calling out names."Shaky Car" a big hit (we got one for him at the ol homestead)Got love the disney marketing machine.

We had the fabulous Mr. CP in from hotlanta. He was in for work but was gracious enough to come visit Casa de Smith. The wee man was a bit skeptical at first but was won over by the fashion and conversation"yeah i agree""No, I don't believe it either..."

We have been dark for a while so with a little bit of time I will catch up the photo stream and the goings on with the fam.I was nice the other day so the wee man got taken outside...He is such an outside kid he really dug being outside.

So the wee man is almost walking. He can take a step from Mom to dad and vice versa with just a little help. so soon dear reader we will have good news and I will have more grey hair...because as soon as he figures it out for himself well zoomthe boy doesn't really know the word slow..The wee man also took his first trip to the First City.

The wee man is now 9 months old. It's hard to believe it, but all you have to do is look at him and see that he's growing up fast.He celebrated his first Christmas and made his theatrical debut all in one day. Please note the snazzy, yet festive pajamas (thank you Aunt Cindy) and the awesome halo. Yes, of course he was an angel in the Christmas pageant. :)The true cruising has begun - nothing is

2 nights ago, my little boy said "Mama." I'm not sure if he knew what he said or even meant to look at me and say it, but I don't care. He said it! He can't take it back :) My dear husband told me later that the look on my face was priceless - utter joy and happiness - and of course that's what I felt. I also felt a tugging at my heart - this was one of many firsts that will happen in my

So the little man is growing like a weed, has figured out crawling and is working his way to "croozing"and well his personality is starting, and he is a little bit of us both. Quiet and contemplative and goofy and headstrong. Which he get from whom will be up for others to decide..

The wee man has decided that he would like to be an overachiever... instead of having one important milestone at a time, he has decided that 2 or more is a better way to go. Oh the fun filled time has just begun!First - he has decided to crawl. At first it was just a roll around and pull kind of crawl, but now it has turned into the the "army crawl" - on stomach and pulling with arms and legs

I like to roll. I like to roll over to my left, to my right, on my back, on my tummy, and anyway I can to get me to a different place. I can start on one side of my play mat and roll several times to the other side! It's very cool. Mommy and Daddy find it a bit unsettling to find me no where near they put me 30 seconds before. It's fun and I like it! Now if I could just get the whole

So we've just returned from our vacation/goodbye/Christmas in October trip to Los Angeles, California. The wee man was a perfect angel on both the outbound and inbound flights. This was especially nice to discover since the flights were about 5 hours each way. Minimal amounts of crying - usually caused by hunger or wet diapers - were handled quite easily.In our 5 day jaunt we: visited with

I'm happy to report that the C's first plane ride was a complete success. On his way up with daddy he giggled and smiled with the other passengers. On the way home with mommy and daddy, he was asleep before we even left the tarmac!So the Smith clan were in Boston (nee Baaston) - Mom was there for work and Dad and C came to hang out with Cousins Jay and Karen. We had a nice hotel near Fanueil

So we are getting ready to take the little man on his first plane ride to Boston. Its like moving the entire Fifth Corps.OH well it will be entertaining to say the least. Me and him flying by ourselves..Here is a photo of him getting ready. I dont think he understands packing quite yet...

Here are some new pictures of the wee man. He's 5.5 months old... already!

Well the wee man is now moving on to "real" food. According to Dr. F. he is ready for new and exciting stuff. However his high hopes of gourmet meals have been dashed.The first choice of real food was peas. Harmless right -- I would say who doesn't like peas.I already know the answer to that question.. Aunt Teberly, Mr Kevlar and Morgan...Well The little man has joined the list of pea haters.

The wee man experienced his first West Virginia University football game this weekend. The "Coal Bowl" took place this weekend with the Mountaineers versus the Thundering Turds ( I mean Herd) of Marshall University. Everything was fine until we scored and everyone screamed -- the loud noise really got to the little man. He freaked out and cried, but we took him upstairs away from the crowd

I've often pondered why my DS cries. When he was newly born, I swear he cried just to see me and my DH freak out. Oh my God, what's wrong.. Is he hurt? Did I do something wrong? I was convinced that somehow I was harming him, but I was wrong.Nowadays it seems that I can instantly tell why he is crying. It's usually only a couple of things - and let's face it, I'd cry to if I could get away

Today, the little man is 4.99 months old. He will officially turn 5 months old tomorrow at 9:54 pm. (Just to be precise). We went to the Dr. for some more shots on Friday. I decided to space out the shots instead of doing them once every couple of months. This allows the little one to not be so overwhelmed with all of the shots that he has to have these days, but it also gives me some piece

So the little man had his first taste of real food. His first meal consisted of mashed bananas. We then moved on to rice cereal, which proved disastrous, as it caused a massive stoppage of the lower GI. Ewwwwww.We are off the rice for now - instead we are eating (and drinking) prunes. Your Spanish words for the day : cireula pasa (prunes)He's got the "moving food from front to back" down and

It's been a couple of days and I have recovered from my trip to the beach. It was relaxing and just what the whole family needed! We all piled in a car and headed across the Bay Bridge into Eastern Maryland. I had my first look at the Atlantic Ocean. And in 2 months, I get to see the Pacific Ocean, too!Aunt Jaime carried me around for a while in the carrier - so it was a great break for mommy and

Yesterday was another fun-filled day with my darling newborn. We went to to see an allergist. The wee man had a red and dry rash on the backs of his legs, elbows and tummy. Our pediatrician saw him last week for his 4 month appointment and was a little concerned.So off we went to the allergy doc - she was very nice - even though she was going to make my dear one cry. She took a thorough health

So it's been one week since I returned to work full time. Each day gets easier and easier, but my heart still aches when I leave my little man behind. Our nanny is wonderful and loves our little one as he was one of her own. Thank goodness I found someone like her.I have a wonderful calm feeling when she arrives in the morning and my little man gives her a giant toothless grin. As I kiss him

BoatingOne new experience down a million more to go...Luckily for us, the wee man is calm.Some friends have a boat and well this past weekend the whole Team took a trip. Well it is summer in the Southeast of the country and it is just damn hot... I think it was like 99 - 100. The wee man did complain about the heat. But then again I think everyone did.We just kept everyone hydrated and cool.Wake

For weeks I was in denial that I was going back to work. After all -- my little boy is so much fun now - why on earth would I go back to work? I mean let's face it, he still throws up, poops, and pees one me, but now he also smiles, giggles, coos, and is starting to sit up. This past week has been like a ticking time bomb. So on Monday when our dear nanny came for her "trial period", I was

Da wee man is not so wee anymore. He went for some more shots today and he weighed in at 14 pounds! He's almost doubled his birth weight in 3 months. He's doing pretty good today, but I have a feeling that the magic drops are going to make an appearance later today (aka Tylenol).We had a very nice Father's Day. Ciaran bought daddy a Wii :) We all played Super Mario Brothers together and

So the wee man had his second visit with the cardiologist. And good news, the PDA (not that kind) that he had has cleared up..But his ASD is still therebut the doctor is not worried about it. He acts and looks healthy and the situation has not gotten any worse so instead of visits every month its now six months away -- which is a good sign.Nature will probably take care of it and we will think

My little boy is 2 months old and I still can't figure out where the time went. Then again - living in 3 hour increments can make time seem irrelevant. He's sleeping much better now and he actually slept the whole night last night! It was glorious!! We spend our days walking, talking (well I talk to him and he gurgles or throws up), visiting with friends, running errands, and napping. He naps, I

Bug hunter of software...The commute is a whole hell of a lot quicker.. = more time with the kid...The dreaded day care search is starting....

The little man is 6 weeks old now. Time truly does fly - especially when you currently you measure time in quantities of 3. Three hours since he ate, pee'd, pooped... you get the idea. I'm happy to report that he is getting into a nighttime sleeping routine. He sleeps about 5 or 6 hours straight - for those currently without child -- that's considered sleeping through the night. It's quite

The little munchkin is 1 month old today. I can't believe how fast the time goes. It probably should be said that the first 2 weeks were a blur and the last 2 were still foggy.We had our first social outing on Monday and went to a playgroup. OK - so there isn't really any playing yet, but it was a chance to speak with grownups. :)In honor of dear husband and my alma mater - here are some pics

So the whole Team had a little drama today. Not earth shattering but enough to be enough. Enough to get the adrenaline flowing and pulses racing. Just enough in my estimation.

First day of work went well. New hours, new things to worry about.NO separation anxiety yet. But then again the little man is basically sleeping the day away not learning new thing without me.I have to agree with Humanteam's friend Kittytime and say sometime you just have to do your own thing for your kid.The craziness at Va Tech make me shake my head. try not to worry about thing that you

So today our little boy is 13 days old. It is amazing how fast the time has gone. I look at this little human being and cannot believe that he is mine. He's changing every day. His last visit to the Dr. told us that he is happy and healthy - almost back to birth weight.We don't have a strict routine, but he eats, sleeps, and poops regularly :)Here are some new pictures of Ciaran - btw its

Took the Boy to the Pediatrician. All is well with him. He pulled the 3 p's on me. Pee'd poo'd and puked on me all in the short span of 5 minutes. Thank goodness its my kid, cuz i dont think i would have taken it so well other wise.

So my due date is 2 days away - not that it really means anything. Only 5% of babies are born on their actual due date. There have been a couple of developments, but nothing I'd like to share with the world :) Needless to say, we are all waiting patiently for the littlest HumanTeam to arrive. No pressure. He can come whenever he wants. At least we know he'll be here by April 5th.We'll keep

Everyone keeps asking what I look like, so I had the DH take some pictures of the ever expanding belly. Didn't Homer Simpson say "Rub the Buddha, feel the power?"There is definitely a change since last month. I am rounder in the belly and our little peanut is no longer little. According to the "averages," he should be around 7 pounds or so. We all know that averages are just that - averages.

Well my Co-workers at the nation's paper threw me a surprise shower. My loving wife actually was able to keep the secret. Sneaky git that she is...I would like to thank everybody that help with the shower and gave so very generously to Baby HumanTeam.I was shocked and humbled by the gifts that we received.( I am actually a week late on this news)No news on the little one.

So yesterday marked the beginning of week 38. Spring is in the air at least until tomorrow. Today 75, tomorrow 35. Don't we all love the ides of March. Flowers are poking their heads out of the ground, the birds are chirping, and my dear son does not want to see his new world...Went to the lovely Dr. this morning with DH. Weight and blood pressure check all fine. Baby's heartbeat and

OK, so here's the deal... I'm 9.5 months pregnant. To the normal person that doesn't seem soo bad. However, if you are 9.5 months pregnant - it's a big freaking deal. First of all, my doctor's appointments are weekly - yes I said weekly. So not only do I have to rearrange my work and home schedules, but I also get poked and prodded even more.Second, everything is starting to ache. I haven't
