I meant to post this video a long time ago, but was just reminded when I received it via forward. It’s pretty darn hilarious no matter who you’re laughing at. http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/palin-hillary-open/656281/ (I wanted to find it on Youtube so I could embed the video directly for ya, but what would you know? Most of the […]
Today was the baby’s first experience with solid adult food – chocolate. (Would I treat her to anything less? Please.) Josh had made me some brownies, which I was gleefully eating in front of her making mmmmMMM noises. SofÃa stared at me with an intent and slightly confused expression, and then as I lifted gooey […]
To everyone who received this blog from my dad, meticulously copied into a Word document and sent to you via email attachment: thanks for stopping by. See, I do know how to format. Really.
Lesson #1: If you get close enough to nuzzle SofÃa’s fat little cheeks when she’s feisty, it will result in headbutting. Also, her response to my telling her I love her seems to be to punch me in the face. (I think I’ll choose to look at this through parent-colored glasses and interpret it as […]
Josh has posted a new album of SofÃa pictures, check them out!

We had our two-month checkup yesterday, and she behaved like a champ. I can’t wait till she’s old enough to celebrate by going to the ice cream shop. (Because I’m sure that I read somewhere that it’s a good idea to associate rewards with unhealthy foods. Probably right next to the chapter that recommended spanking.) […]
It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 8 weeks and we haven’t accidentally killed the baby yet. In fact, sometimes I even feel like I might be getting a tentative grip on this whole “parenthood” thing – this strange, fey state that previously only applied to other people. I’m happy to report that, having finally […]
 SofÃa tricked me. She behaved admirably this past week, reliably sleeping three 3-hour stretches each night and, dependably, a nap from 2-4 every afternoon. This behavior lasted just long enough for me to call up my parents and friends and brag about it last evening. Needless to say, she then felt no pressure to maintain […]
