“I love you”s don’t come easy

May 26, 2011

Chessa can ask for cookies and milk – “CUH-KEES AN MUK?” she says.  And if I get anything other than the mini Oreos that her aunt brought for her, she says.  “NO. CUH-KEES CIN-EE BOT” (I want the cookies that Cindy bought).  She can tell me when Craig goes to work – “DADDY WOK,” or [...]

Her favorite place to play…

August 16, 2010

Two weeks ago, I brought the wee one in from the pool, stripped her down and then realized I wasn’t quite ready to dress her yet.  So, I plopped her in my bathtub.  It’s a big space, there are thing she can play with (after I moved the razor and the candle that sits in [...]

Tea Pot Dance

August 5, 2010

C got this teapot from her cousins over the weekend, and the cuteness that followed just had to be captured.  I don’t know if she is dancing or trying to fly, but she’s having a damn good time.

Oh! The games we play!

July 26, 2010

There’s a new game around our house. One that gives me bruised knees and sore palms, but also squeals of delight followed by belly laughs from the little one.  She crawls away from me and looks back over her shoulder.  On my hands and knees, I chase her.  “I’m gonna get you.”  Her eyes gleam [...]

July 13, 2010

Tickle Monster

June 13, 2010

In almost every way, C is a daddy’s girl.  Just this weekend, he wanted to get a few more minutes in the pool late in the afternoon.  So he handed the babe to me and started out the door.  Until… she screamed.  Big crocodile tears and sobs that said “Daddy, how could you give me [...]

Baby Talk

June 7, 2010

My daughter’s mouth runs constantly these days.  From the moment I get her out of her crib, to the time right before bed when she’s sucking contently on the paci, she’s babbling and talking.  It’s a constant whirl of ba-da-ga-ada-mpf-ag-wa-ma. I’m sure in her head she is telling a pretty good story complete with details about [...]

I didn’t know hiccups were funny (& a little promotion for a blog friend)

May 26, 2010

Last night I was getting a rather grumpy baby girl ready for her bath.  I sat her down in the exersaucer while I filled her bathtub and collected her pjs.  And she whined because clearly it’s more fun to try to throw herself off of my bed than be stuck in the exercauser with toys [...]
