only my daughter would be completely unable to pose for her "I am 4-months-old-today-photo" because she is too distracted by her gold glittery toesies. Yes, instead of being enamored with my singing, smiling, cheering and chanting, her eyes are glued to her sparkly socks. They are pretty fabulous. Maybe she'll let me borrow. Happy 4 month Birthday to my sweet princess. Glitter for ...
all that glitters
Tonight, as I watched the baby cracking up at my mother-in-law, as they played with her favorite dolly, (which was, by the way, an amazingly precious sight), I noticed that my daughter had glitter on her head. How in the world did she get such a sparkly keppie? My mind raced. Well, I did take a nap today. Did ...
A Mitzvah
Look at what just showed up on my doorstep: You know those friends that I've mentioned who are more like family? Yeah, this one is a good one. She knows how crazy I am AND she still manages to love me. And, more importantly, she loves my daughter. Well, guess what, Kimmie... We love you, too. And, I can't wait to dance ...
One of the things that they did not cover in the What to Expect books is…
that there are times that you may find a piece of fried chicken in your baby's bellybutton. Strange, and definitely a little gross, but true. This unusual phenomenon has been known to occur when the baby starts to cry just as the mommy sits down to dinner. Dinner may or may not consist of leftover fried chicken. The mommy may find ...
Children Will Listen
It is no secret that I fancy Fairy Tales, Princesses and Musicals. Always have, always will. I did give my daughter a the name of a Disney Princess, after all. Well, I'm sure that it comes as no surprise that an all-time-favorite musical of mine is "Into the Woods", the Sondheim classic that chronicles what happens after "happily ...
Hey, at least my Ruby Slippers still fit. I hope.
Toto, we're not pregnant anymore. I had to remind myself of this fact tonight after my second helping of fried chicken and baby back ribs. There's no place like home.
A family is a family is a family
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkFr-rjjzlw] We got the chance to watch this beautiful little documentary last night, you know, while I was rocking the baby to sleep in my arms, and, let me tell you, it is just lovely. Love-ly, love-filled, love-able, love-alicious. It gave us a wonderful soundtrack to which we danced the baby around the bedroom. Plus, it answers the question of where babies ...
you know you’re a new parent when…(the rockin’ Saturday night edition)
You know you're a new parent when you're so desperate to get the baby to bed at a decent, early hour,that you give her an extra-long feeding, and, in turn, end up over feeding the baby, causing her tummy discomfort, which manifests itself into a lovely little crying session. You know you're a new parent when ...
what’s in a name?
The good news: The baby now responds to her name. The not-so-good news: The baby also now responds to "Lola", "Ziggy" and "Peaches". I knew we were saying it too much. Hey, I guess there are worse things a baby could be called. Like stinky. Or un-cute. Or tussie-face. Although, I kind of like that one. There's something endearing about it, no?
One Year Ago, Part 3
Tonight, as we placed the baby in her crib, and she stroked her own full, delicious cheeks with her tiny delicious hands, I couldn't help but to realize that she was wearing a very special nightgown; This gown was the very first anything that my husband and I bought for the baby. It is butter soft, and filled with ...
