1. At her 9-month checkup, Heather was 2′ 4.5″ (80.63%) and 16 lb 8.9 oz (12.26%). We are very pleased that she is growing and chunking up a bit (relatively, y’know).
2. I am the worst mom in the world, so Heather climbed out of the bath tub last night (yes, I had walked away) and fell on her head on the tile floor. Fortunately, she’s fine. I, however, suck.
At 9 months*, Heather:
Basically, we are having tons of fun with our little bear. She’s amazing and awesome and we love her so much!
*Yes, this post is very late. There were migraines and laziness and blah blah blah. But the good news is that I took notes and all this stuff (including the pictures) really was her at 9 months. Oh, and the 10-month post will probably also be late, as we will be traveling. Wish us luck!
Megan and Chad came to visit for the evening on Tuesday. So Heather got to meet her cousin Charlie. Believe it or not, Charlie is 6 weeks younger than Heather.
Just sticking this here for the rest of the Internet to benefit from.
I was rebuilding the HTPC with an updated OS and needed to get LIRC working again for my remote using the original XBox DVD dongle connected via USB.
I found this post which describes the process of building and using the lirc_xbox kernel module. Which worked fine in XBMCBuntu (based on Ubuntu 11.10). But when I tried to follow the instruction in Linux Mint 13 XFCE I got the error “E: Unable to find a source package for lirc” when attempting the line “sudo apt-get build-dep lirc”.
I worked around the problem by running the same command on my laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 which gave me the correct list of dependencies:
autotools-dev build-essential debhelper devscripts dh-apparmor diffstat dpkg-dev g++ g++-4.6 gettext html2text intltool-debian libasound2-dev libdpkg-perl libftdi-dev libftdi1 libgettextpo0 libice-dev libirman-dev libjack-dev libjack0 libportaudiocpp0 libpthread-stubs0 libpthread-stubs0-dev libsm-dev libstdc++6-4.6-dev libunistring0 libusb-dev libx11-dev libxau-dev libxcb1-dev libxdmcp-dev libxt-dev patch po-debconf portaudio19-dev quilt x11proto-core-dev x11proto-input-dev x11proto-kb-dev xorg-sgml-doctools xtrans-dev
I used that list in a “sudo apt-get install [long list of package names]” and was able to successfully get the build dependencies installed and follow the rest of Mr. Plow’s instructions and get my remote working properly.
Since I saw that a few other people were having the same issue, I thought I’d post this in case anyone else gets stuck on the problem.
Heather finally got a long-desired wish; she got to touch the laptop. She was ecstatic.
Maybe it’s my imagination, but it really seems like she caught on to how I type and kind of, sort of tried to make her hands work the same way. She would occasionally stop mashing keys and gently slide her fingers across the touchpad. She also discovered the button that makes the menu pop up and disappear and she spent a bit of time pressing it repeatedly.
