Realllllly????

You know the age old expression that tells you that "there's no such thing as a stupid question..."? Yeah, I'm here to disagree. In the past year, I have been asked more silly questions than I can count. And, if I'm being completely honest, I may have asked a few doozies myself. Today, I had my 4-month-Post-Pregnancy check-up with my ...

baby talk

This weekend, my daughter started saying "Ma. Mama. Ma." All of the books call it "babbling". I prefer to call it an ode to her favorite person in the world.

Today, I…

borrowed my daughter's bedazzled hair barrette and wore it out in public, ran inside, pushing the stroller, frantically, during a thunderstorm, mooned people, when my pants fell down, when I ran inside, pushing the stroller, frantically, during a thunderstorm, dried tears, startled my daughter with my "Riff Raff" impersonation from Rocky Horror, baked chocolate truffle brownies, ate chocolate truffle brownies, supervised ...

every party has a pooper

This afternoon, I had the distinct pleasure of watching a very special movie with some very special ladies.

The Mommy: Can you believe that one year ago, this week, we saw the baby's heartbeat for the first time? The Daddy: Yes, but her heart was beating inside of our hearts from the moment we met... ....you can blog that, if you want.

Hot Shots, Part Deux

Yesterday, my daughter had her 4-month-old check-up. This meant getting her weight, measuring the circumference of her head, having the doctors and nurses ooh and ahh over her cuteness, and, of course shots. Now, I went into the appointment feeling like an old pro. We had been through this before. Except, this time, it was a different nurse. So, when I asked her if she ...

Wishes are Children

Children will look to you For which way to turn, To learn what to be. Careful before you say, "Listen to me." Children will listen. -Into the Woods (My daughter told me to post this.
