By Ryan Stephenson | Published: January 27, 2009
We finally got enough snow in St. Louis for Charlotte to comfortably bury her feet in powder and taste a snowball. This evening, Kelly and I took her up to the roof for a private excursion, and fortunately found the snow unspoiled by footprints. After a small stumble into a drift built up near the [...]

What we’re up to

By Ryan Stephenson | Published: February 1, 2008
Life right now is pretty much consumed by of work, sleep, and Charlotte, so I’m not even going to pretend I have something new to say. OK, maybe a little: Charlotte’s finally over much of her colicky phase, and we can actually put her down to sleep without swaddling her, so she’s much more fun now. Here’s [...]

Six Week Checkup

By Ryan Stephenson | Published: December 23, 2007
I’m just checking in, it’s been a little while since I’ve said “hi.” Kelly’s been home with Charlotte since birth, I took off work that first week, and we’ve apparently been parents for about six months.

This adequately represents the state of my brain as well. We’ve even already had a trip to the hospital and back. Unlike lastnight, I’m going to [...]

Walkin’ it out, yo

By Ryan Stephenson | Published: November 3, 2007
This morning we decided to walk a bit for our daily caffeine, and to see if we could help shake Charlotte out. We’re running out of days before the scheduled labor induction, and we’re both already anxious.
