Making Milkshakes?

Rare Self Portrait with L

Sunday Morning

Steer clear of this little one until she's had her morning coffee milk, toast cheerios and time to read the paper Babies r Us catalog.

Big (and Bright) Shoes To Fill

When John and I started dating, he was spending quite a bit of time in these bright aqua blue Crocs and I may have commented once or twice about the daring nature of his choice in shoe color. He told me that the very cute young sales girl who sold him the shoes said he must be very secure in his masculinity. He took that as a compliment and bought the shoes :)

Six years later the shoes have two very cute, and very young, new fans!  

Mystery Illness

This little munchkin had a rough week. After some big fuss last Friday and throwing up on John's chest Saturday (Happy Dada Day!), she started to run a fever on Monday afternoon. All week she had a consistent running temp of 101, with occasional very scary temperature spikes to 103.5, 104.5 and even 106. Thankfully, she responded quickly to hose downs and Tylenol when her fever spiked like that. Her Dr's office (and the internet) assured me that I shouldn't worry if she otherwise seemed okay. Which she did. During the spikes she would get extra fussy, but otherwise, she just seemed more tired than normal. They even said it was normal that she wasn't eating... for the better portion of a week! She made up for the lack of food with outlandishly large servings of milk, though. No temperature spikes yesterday or today, so we're hoping the worst of it is over. This photo was taken this morning... definitely having a better day! Not necessarily a better hair day, but a better day overall   :)

Grooming Update

This baby recently got a haircut...

This baby did not.

Move Over, Picasso! Step Aside, Monet!

If you're lucky (and if I can find the stamps), some of their early works may fill your mailbox soon.
