Stella’s Woodland Wonderland

I am in love with blik.  That’s right–blik.
In our neverending effort to make Stella the coolest kid on the block, the envy of all other babies and the all-around happy-go-luckiest girl there ever was, we decorated the walls of her play area in the living room.
I decided that the walls were too drab–just plain old [...]

Happy Half Birthday!

Stella is six months old today! It’s hard to believe that much time has gone by, but it’s also hard to remember what life was like before her. She rocks my world.
Sorry for not posting much lately. I’ve been really busy, mostly because of this. I’ve had to, like, communicate.
Stella, or Pookie, as I sometimes [...]

Four Months Old

Stella turned four months old on Saturday. Four months! That’s 122 days. 10,540,800 seconds, give or take. I can’t believe how quickly it’s going by. Everyday she amazes me with some new skill she’s mastered (sleeping without being swaddled! eating her toes!) and it’s just been so much fun. I swear, she’ll be doing algebra [...]

New Look, and a Video

I’ve redone the blog–let me know what you think of the new look.
I promise to post something real soon. I’ve been busy! In the meantime, I’ll leave you with this little gem:

Stella Is A Punk Rocker

Look at how punk rock my baby is:

The Time When I Fell Down The Stairs

I fell down the stairs yesterday.  My foot just slipped out from under me on the first step, like falling on black ice on a sidewalk in the winter. I landed right on my ass, and then bumped HARD down the next two stairs. I felt a searing pain in my tail bone and midway [...]

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

I think that Stella LOOKS LIKE A GIRL. She’s not one of those androgynous babies that could go either way. And practically every day I dress her in girly outfits. She looks like a cute blob of pink. Oozing girlishness. She has a pink pacifier. She wears pink socks. She has her name, STELLA, pimped [...]

Avoiding The Paparazzi When You Have The World’s Cutest Baby

We’ve managed to avoid the kidnappers thus far. But, we’ve found that there’s another downside to having the world’s cutest baby–the Paparazzi. The cameras. The fans. They follow us everywhere.
On Monday, Stella and I ate lunch at the Dominion Deli at Arlington Boulevard and Gallows Road with seven fabulous mommy and baby friends (which is [...]

My Kid is Cuter Than Your Kid

One of the downfalls of having the world’s cutest baby is that people want to steal her. Seriously. Today we went to my local CVS Pharmacy to pick up a prescription, and the pharmacist told me to watch out, because she and her accomplice/pharmacist colleague were going to kidnap Stella.
How scary–these women had access to [...]

Two Months

Stella is two months old now. Her favorite things to do are sleep, eat, poop, burp, babble, smile, go for walks, and stick her tongue out. Her favorite color is clear with a black background.
Here is a little video of the princess doing about three of her favorite things.
