Reason #1: This morning, I yelled at my husband for using the new, cool, sparkly, blue toothbrush, and leaving me with the red version. Me: "Don't you even know was my second favorite color is?!?!?!?" Husb: "Blue?" Me: "NO, it is NOT blue. It is aqua. Husb: "Do you want to switch toothbrushes, then? I'm more than happy to trade." Me: ...
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.
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.
at least parenthood gives you perspective,
like when you bring the baby into bed for a cozy, morning snuggle session, and the baby's diaper leaks. parent 1 (let's just call her the mommy): "Oh no! I think she peed the bed!" parent 2 (let's just call him daddy): "I guess it's a good thing she didn't poop the bed!" You see. Making lemonade out of, well, you ...
crazy is spelled b.a.r.b.i.e.
Is it weird that I've already purchased a set of big girl bedding for my 4 1/2 month old daughter, who has yet to sleep in her own crib? Yeah, I didn't think so either!
more more more, how do you like it, how do you like it?

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 ...
the pink babies pledge to act cool, to look cool and to beeeee cool.
"This baby smells amazing. Do you know what she smells like? Barbie shoes. You know how they had that smell? That's what she smells like. She smells like pink." -My little sister, tonight, as she held the baby and breathed in her (deliciousintoxicatingbeautifulsoftsweetwonderfulscrumdiddlyumptious aroma)
you’re right, I ain’t never had a friend like you
I remember a day, a more innocent time, when this Genie [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99Op1TaXmCw] was the most magical Genie in my life. Sorry, big, blue friend; you've been replaced.
at least the baby looks like Bert
"I held the baby, and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I mean, she had a little bit of a unibrow. And, I was wondering if that was my baby, would I pluck it? But, it would probably hurt the baby, right? I don't know if I would wax it or pluck it. I ...
