Some things you’ve missed:

Things have a bit quiet here in the Land of Mom. Well, not in the Land of Mom, but here in the cyberland version of Ever After.
It’s not that I haven’t had what to share;
quite the opposite, in fact.
I have a million posts composed on my Blackberry, scribbled down on note paper and in my actual baby book,
and, even more in my head,
but I’ve chosen to keep them to myself for a bit.
Since I last wrote,
I turned another year older,
and so did my daughter.
Yep.
That’s right.
I failed to write about my daughter’s first birthday.
The old me would be appalled.
Haven’t I been writing about my 1st birthday plans since June?
Yes. Yes I have.
But, something has changed in me.
Maybe it’s the extra year I gained.
Maybe it’s the feeling of time slipping by so quickly that I cannot justify sitting behind a computer screen writing about my baby, when really, I could just be kissing her little face and breathing her in.
Maybe it’s the result of an April Fool’s Joke that went awry and scared the bejeezus out of me.
Maybe it’s something more.
But, I’ve chosen to keep some things close to the vest,
and I hope that you forgive me.
So, for today, I will give you some snippets of what you may have missed,
while I’ve been busy living
in the Ever After.
But, for now, I must leave you. My daughter just came over to me. She wants to dance to Solid Gold Oldies in my arms.
And I will never say no to an 8 am dance party.
Never.
I’m still me,
after all.

Hi, Friends-
Baby here!
Pleased to know you!
So nice to make your acquaintance!
I know we haven’t been formally introduced, but I’m only 7 months old, so I’ve just learned to write.
Mommy tells me the best things about you.
I have a feeling she’s told you a little bit about me, too.
I just got back from my very first Thanksgiving Dinner. I got to enjoy both sides of my family, and trust me, I was the bell of the ball.
What I wore:
Velvet Paisley-Print Dress with bell sleeves by Cynthia Rowley
Black tights by Old navy
Black velvet mary-janes with satn bows by Bubbie (well, she didn’t make them, but she did buy them for me. I’m a baby, you can’t expect me to remember every little thing)
Black fur coat (faux! of course! I love my animals!!) by Minibasix
Let me tell you, I was looking snazzy.
I had so much fun playing, as everyone watched on, oohing and ahhing. I showed all of my family my new trick; I know how to give kisses, and I just love smooching everyone, especially my new stuffed bear. I rolled around the floor with my plastic telephone from Mommom and I called all of my other baby buddies to gobble at them.
I know this is my first Thanksgiving, so I’m just learning that this is a holiday for feasting, but trust me, I put away my fair share of goodies. Mommy fed me turkey, sweet potatoes, apples and yogurt, although I couldn’t help eyeing that pecan pie. Oh well. Maybe next year!
Everyone kept saying how thankful they were for me, and how well behaved I was. I didn’t make a single peep, besides saying Mama and Dada and giggling, of course. I couldn’t dare make a bad impression, especially not at a holiday. What would people think?
My favorite part of the night was sitting by the fire, with my uncle and aunt playing with me, as all of the 25 big adults gathered around, singing “If You’re Happy and You Know It.” to make me smile. It worked. I couldn’t stop grinning tonight!
What a great night.
Actually, all day today was so special for me. I woke up, and the first thing mommy said to me was, “Happy Thanksgiving, baby! Can you say Happy Thanksgiving Dada?” I answered by saying, “Dada”, but I don’t quite know how to say the rest of it yet. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow. Mommy and Daddy let me stay in my PJs all day, and I even saw my very first snow fall. Don’t worry, I was nice and warm in daddy’s arms, as we watched out the living room window. I loved to watch the tiny flakes dance to the ground.
Well, I’m pretty pooped. Time to kiss my new pink bear and go to sleep. I can’t wait to have sweet dreams about silly gobbling turkeys, pecan pie, and my special family, singing and laughing to me around the fire.
I hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving, too. Maybe we can celebrate together, sometime.
Gobble Gobble Goo Goo Ga Ga!
Love,
Baby, Ever After
