I Tried

New Things

I haven't updated in a few months, so if you happen to stumble back here upon this site and are wondering what's been going on, there are a few little tweaks and changes, but everything else is pretty much the same. I'll be trying to get back into my regular routine of posting weekly or so; there's never a shortage of things to say, only a shortage of time to ponder which of them might be interesting to other people and which could interest only immediately family members, if I'm lucky.

I went back through my old posts and labeled as many of them as I could. That should make it easier to find particular sections if say, you would like to refer some of my posts to parents who are dealing with physical delays like hypotonia. Or maybe you just want to read the post where I utterly spaz about having a nanny who stole from us, or you want to tsk for a few minutes over my ineptitude over finding other mom friends.Well, now you can!

I'll try to post more multimedia here regularly, because that stuff is what I most like to see on other people's baby blogs and it's much more gratifying than wading through fourteen dense paragraphs of text. As I'm as good as my word, I'm inserting this video of my child playing catch with my Dad. They each seem a little baffled by the novelty of the other.

Videos

A couple new videos. This one was taken yesterday after we got home from day care. She's finally starting to put it together in her head that in order to get places, you have to, you know, move your legs.

This one I took while I was at the dermatologist while she was being especially cute and chatty. I'm sure the other people in the waiting room appreciated it.

Finally, the two of us being goofballs:

Sadie Hams It Up for the Camera

This isn't the most scintillating footage of Sadie ever taken, but if you feel like staring into the eyes of a cute baby for a few minutes, then it'll be right up your alley.

Yesterday morning, I placed her on the bed and she started a flood of cooing and gurgling, mixed in with delighted smiles. I ran for the iPhone so I could try to get it on video, and naturally as soon as I held it up, she forgot about me entirely and just stared at the camera as though it were something she really, really, really wanted to put in her mouth.

Endless Entertainment

Lest people begin to think that I've turned this blog into a place to rant about fleas and lack of sleep, here's some video to entertain you. I sent this to Scott while he was in New York working the New Moon premiere to remind him that he's missing crucial bonding time with our child.
