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?
My daughter now understands the word "more". When I'm feeding her oatmeal and ask her if she wants, "more? more?", she now opens her (tiny! adorable! 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 ...
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 ...
by the way,
I know I make a lot of mention about my daughter being named for a Disney Princess. But really, really really, she is not named for a Princess, after all. She's named for a Superhero.
