So the carrots didn’t go over very well so I won’t be cooking them again for him for another few weeks or a month or so. I think these were undercooked and didn’t strain well so it was pretty runny. Like carrot water. I love making his food even though he doesn’t always [...]
Lowell is almost 28 inches long but only weighs 15 pounds, 14 ounces. At this same age, James was half an inch longer and 3 pounds, 5 ounces heavier. Yes, Lowell is still my little shrimp. I like to think he’d be chubbier, heavier, if he didn’t spend so much of his energy crying, wailing, [...]
Well, not that I couldn’t see before, but now I can really SEE out of my left eye. My optometrist said I have dramatic anisometropia (which is a big word meaning that each eye needs a different amount of correction) which I could have told you as well. My left eye is near-sighted [...]
Lowell has started babbling. a little. He’s also growing more hair. as am I. Yes. I have fuzzies above my temples! I am also still losing hair at an alarming rate, too, though.

30 Years Old!
Since his birthday fell on a Friday, we decided to cook dinner (free food!) for a bunch of friends and had four additional families plus my dad over for fajitas and some Guitar Hero. The kids (all nine of them!) all had fun playing with James’ small stash of toys [...]
We were at the Austin Children’s Museum and he fell asleep, yes, sucking his thumb. I needed to have fed him but ended up skipping that feeding altogether. He doesn’t find his thumb normally. I guess he needs to be bundled up like he is in the mei tai.
WELCOME
Hi there. Welcome to davejenbarnes.com! This is a story of a guy & a gal who fell in love, got married, and settled in the the ATX area. Somewhere along the way, we had three boys, adopted a cat, and bought a house. We're excited to share our everyday adventures. Thanks for visiting!WE GO WAY BACK
