Man of Steel

Happy Birthday, Superman. I see you in each and every one of the baby's smiles. She is named for you, after all. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHsJVYXXHbA] Show a little faith, there's magic in the night... Miss you more.

all we are saying,

is give peas chance. Can you guess which new veggie we tried tonight? And by we, I mean the baby. I wasn't getting near the stuff. Despite my aversion, she seemed quite smitten. What a champ! Her vegetable of choice was not by accident. Although it pained me to switch her off of sweet potatoes, (oh how we loooooved our sweet potatoes), I ...

what goes around

It's a happy day when a mommy can dress her daughter in an outfit that used to be hers. It's kind of bohemian glamor, paired with a jean jacket, oversized shades and moccasins, no? This, however... shall remain in the vault. At least until western wear comes back in.

Oh, is it tiny and adorable!) mouth as wide as she can, as she kicks her legs with excitement. It's the first word that I have seen her really, truly, understand, and it amazes ...

labor daze

This time of year always makes me nostalgic. There's something about seeing the store aisles crammed with pencils and backpacks and trapper keepers (in my mind. trapper keepers still exist, in my mind.) that brings me back to Labor Days past. Two years ago, Labor Day brought me and my husband to New York City. We were newlyweds, so ...

in a blink

It's amazing. This week is my daughter's 20 week birthday. 20 weeks. In thinking of the significance of this week, I can't help but to think of another 20 week milestone. It was at 20 weeks pregnant that I found out that we were having a baby girl. That was a whole 40 weeks, the length of a whole, entire pregnancy, ago. How ...
