The Legend of Zephyr: Dharma Doll

The Legend of Zephyr. Adventures from this side of the west wind. Tuesday, November 22, 2011. Wow, the past couple of months have really slipped away from me. It was just warm and beachy, then all of a sudden it was Halloween (he was Daruma. And now it's Thanksgiving. And he'll be two (TWO! On Saturday. Time really does fly when you're having fun. While standing next to the horse, we say "I want up please! I guess he didn't like the silly faces I was making at him after all. Zephyr's friendships at Co-op...

The Legend of Zephyr: July 2012

The Legend of Zephyr. Adventures from this side of the west wind. Friday, July 27, 2012. I Will Update Again One Day! No time for blogging. I know: I'm the worst. In the meantime, here's a photo of Zephyr at 14 weeks and 139 weeks old. The baby picture is still one of my all-time favorites, so it's nice to see that face hasn't changed. And this song; this is what makes me sob. Oh, the sound of the rocking chair in the intro! Pure waterworks. It'll work its way into the lullaby rotation soon.

The Legend of Zephyr: The Strong, Silent Type
http://legendofzephyr.blogspot.com/2011/07/strong-silent-type.html
The Legend of Zephyr. Adventures from this side of the west wind. Friday, July 22, 2011. The Strong, Silent Type. After reading every book and website on speech delays, and after having a brief visit with a speech-language pathologist (SLP), we had Zephyr evaluated for developmental delays last Wednesday, and it turns out he is completely, smack-dab-in-the-middle-of-the-normal-curve normal. Except for speech. That part, he's only 79th centile. Is, I think, "this is a car.". This is the second time Zephyr...

The Legend of Zephyr: September 2011
http://legendofzephyr.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
The Legend of Zephyr. Adventures from this side of the west wind. Saturday, September 10, 2011. Long time, sorry. What's been going on: Zephyr has had a few visits with Holly, his speech therapist (though at this age, the "therapy" is really about repeatedly labeling objects and sounds in a way that's not too pushy or exhausting for him). I think it's going well, but I also am becoming more convicted in my thinking that he really is just a little late, and will actually be just fine. Grandma was in town ...

The Legend of Zephyr: Walky Talky, Redux
http://legendofzephyr.blogspot.com/2011/06/walky-talky-redux.html
The Legend of Zephyr. Adventures from this side of the west wind. Monday, June 27, 2011. Walky Talky, Redux. Or, Why I am So Damn Tired All the Time. Me too. My favorite part at 0:24, when he's startled by my presence with the camera. Here's Zephyr's version of a phone call (on a remote control), which is representative of pretty much all talking he does. Zephyr's been doing great, though, and aside from the not speaking clearly, I think he's humming right along on his little milestones. His pediatri...

The Legend of Zephyr: March 2011
http://legendofzephyr.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
The Legend of Zephyr. Adventures from this side of the west wind. Thursday, March 31, 2011. Don't ask why, but I decided to give Zephyr his first haircut. Myself. After a glass of wine (or two). Here he is before:. Laid back. A little too. Laid back. Things are getting scraggly. Clearly, something must be done. Whoooops, totally fucked his head up. Now what, though? What else, a good old-fashioned, Ron Swanson-approved. High and Tight. But a little less tight. And with an unintentional Vanilla Ice. He lo...

The Legend of Zephyr: January 2012
http://legendofzephyr.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
The Legend of Zephyr. Adventures from this side of the west wind. Tuesday, January 3, 2012. Birthday and Christmas, way past due! Sorry for the flakiness - my book is taking up all my writing time, as I suppose it should. So here are some photos! Random pre-birthday cuteness with snack and Yo Gabba Gabba. I guess these pajamas are getting too small - I just realized they're in last year's photos, too. Oops. And now he's so mad! He loves practicing his mad face and talking about different feelings.
