Sick as a dog....

2 ear infections
1 respiratory infection
1 probably diagnosis of strep throat

Yep - that's my daughter. Other than the fact that she wakes up and sounds like she's smoked 3 packs a day for the last 30 years, and she can't sleep laying down...she is great. Do these pictures look like a child who is ill?

This season's hot gift: Baby in a Box. Or, it could be the next SNL skit.

Have your cake....

So, you've been dying to see Taylor eat her birthday cake? AND you've been wanting to hear everyone sing Happy Birthday? Well, ok. Enjoy the two videos below. You know me, I aim to please.

More Fiesta....

Fiesta de Taylor!

Happy 1st Birthday, Taylor!


We held a fiesta in honor of Taylor's birthday, complete with Pinata, Taco Bar, Margaritas & Coronas...Taylor loves her Corona.

More pictures soon!

Oh, the places she'll go.....

Poor Photography

My what a large noggin you have.

It's either the angle of my camera or the leggings that aren't flattering for baby legs.

A little BLUE....

Isn't it funny how a shortened work week can seem like the longest actual week in history? Maybe it's the amount of work to get done in a shorter time, maybe it's the weather, or maybe it is the damn Republican National Convention. I could go on and on about that, but I won't. Instead, I'll impress my liberal politics on my child.

Taylor can't understand why McCain thinks that women would vote for a presidential ( & vice) candidate based on gender, and not on the issues. She is clearly not amused.

She just figured out that we live in Kansas--a RED state. She has thus decided to eat her toes.

OOOOOOOO-bama!
