Can't help you with the video Connie, but I think I have a couple of stills from that on my laptop at home.
Matt & Plei, I would love some yummy Alexi pics. Profile is good. Or a nummy link.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

My former officemate finally found a new job with the feds, so good benefits! And it involves a nondriving commute (if you knew his luck with cars....)
I'm no longer queasy and the pukey seems to be resolving itself. Which while it is something nice for me, doesn't really matter to anyone else not in sight.
I finally got my valentine gift from my parents. A giant (well, cat sized) stuffed pink hippo. I squeed a lot. See, when I was three, my dad brought me back a fist sized pink hippopotamus from one of his business trips. It travelled everywhere with me. Then, when I was 20 and returning from Prague, it disappeared! I was terribly heartbroken ( I actually burst into tears when I searched all my crap for the bazillionth time and didn't find it. That may have partly been the jetlag, though.) Since then, he's been on the lookout for pink hippos. I now have 4 of various varieties plus a blue one. He really takes his hunt seriously. Which makes me feel all loved and shit.

Babypants are overrated.
That's what I told my friend. She thinks that they need to wear something over the diapers though. She's so square!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Y'know, Li'l Sphere's attitude towards C-A-R rides changed when I turned the seat around. He gets all kinds of excited now.
Lillian was a hair under 16lbs and a hair over 26" at her nine month check-up. I fear her days of facing forward are far in her future, at this growth rate (which is a shame, as I'd love it if she started liking the C-A-R). My friends' three month old is already wearing the same size clothing as the girl.
Man. Someone tell me something nice.
I'm drinking grape juice and seltzer. It's pretty tasty.
Also, you've got great hair.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Why do I not have any bacon? That's just wrong. I'll have to get some tomorrow.
Today, I need to cook up the chicken that's been marinating in my fridge, even though I probably won't eat it tonight, due to eating popcorn at the movies just now. They wouldn't let me get the Kid's Pack! LAME.

A onesie goes over the diaper. It just peeks out the edges, like a bra strap or something. Cute!
Realistically, if it's not too warm during babyhood: the early days, something over the diaper DOES contain the mess when there's a containment failure in the diaper itself.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if come this summer, she re-evaluates that view. Maybe not, but my SIL swore up and down that she wasn't going to be one of those moms who let her kid run around in just his diaper!
Hahahah. Yeah, nsm. Especially when they were trying to keep their electric bill down.
And omg, I didn't realize it was that friend of yours!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Em spent a large part of her summer in just a onesie and diaper or just the diaper. I forsee her doing the same this summer.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Why do I not have any bacon? That's just wrong.So tragic. I just had a bacon and tomato (wee little ones from TJ's that taste like actual real tomato, though they try to scurry out of the bread.) sandwich. So unbelievably delicious.
Babies running (or lolling) around in a onesie are the cutest. All pudgy legs flailing.

Yes! It's crazy.
Our friend Rachel keeps telling her, "Soon there will be people calling you 'MOM'."
I'm hoping that for a good part of the summer the babies will be hanging out at the pool in tiny bathing suits. With me, of course.
