I apologize for my twelve-day absence. On the request of a couple of readers, I will add Blogging Blake to my list of Blakes when the multiplicity mission is accomplished. In the mean time, one can probably find the original Blake in one of two places: the lecture hall or an LRC study [...]
A few weeks ago, Chief and Sarge were placed into a new home. This decision was made after much consideration, mostly painful. On our list of pros and cons, the only pros were that 1. I loved them, and 2. They acted as good Hoovers when Zoe dropped food. As heavily as [...]
With Joel at DjangoCon (read: Geek Convention) in California this weekend (I’m insanely jealous; mandatory attendance to anatomy lab won out though), and Gigi and Zoe on a grocery adventure, I have a few hours alllll to myself today. I spent some time making brownies, reading developmental anatomy by the pool, taking pictures of [...]
At her 18 month check-up appointment Tuesday, Zoe weighed 21.75 pounds and measured 80.5 cm (31.7 inches). (I was not present and thus there is no head circumference measurement to report; she has a nice head, and it appears to be a reasonable size for someone of her stature.) She’s brilliant, so all [...]
Very quickly now because I need to get in bed…
White Coat Ceremony and my family’s visit were awesome. I’m so SO happy to be where I am right now.

The last week of the pre-entry program is upon us, including four exams. One - at least I - might have thought this weekend would be one of studying, with the occasional break for consumption or sleep.
While there certainly was studying, there was also fun. The whole week was rather extracurricular heavy, even [...]
A week with no posts?! What a slacker!
This program is no joke. I’m loving it. I mean it’s crazy hard and I’m sure it’s only going to get crazier in the semester proper, but what an experience. My classmates get more interesting every day (in a good way), and slowly but [...]
Zoe’s new favorite word is definitely “no.” Whatever question you ask her, the answer is “Noooo,” complete with an emphatic head-shake. It’s cute, not adamant, because sometimes she seems to mean yes, and she’s just saying “no” because it’s her favorite.
This morning she stirred at 6:53AM, a mere 7 minutes before my alarm [...]
(Happy 17-month birthday, Zoe! Props to Joel for capturing this. As if any moment is better than another, be sure to catch Zoe raising the roof at the end.)
