You've been very busy, huh?
Feels that way. This baby is due in about 3.5 weeks and Ellie and I leave for New Mexico on Sunday. I feel *huge* but I'm very excited to be leaving and I just hope the baby waits another 48-72 hours.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I take it Matilda is talking up a storm?
"Storm" in the sense of "incomprehensible torrent," yes. Though really more scattered cloudbursts of babble. She's about 9,000 times more sociable than I am, and it's amazing and rather humbling to go out and about with her and watch her effortlessly chat up and charm the socks off of everyone from dowagers to bus drivers to sullen teenagers. She's not saying a lot of words yet (Mama and Dada and Baby, with occasional forays into Doggie, Kittie, and Whazzat?), but she's definitely talking.
I've spent more than enough time around bigger toddlers to know the ankle-grab gambit well, though.
I can't wait to meet Stephanie's Francisco! I mean, as much as any of us get to meet each other's babies. But it feels like we know them!

Matilda so very much wants to be part of the conversation, and she's not going to let a lack of vocabulary and grammar stop her.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

So. Freaking. Cute.

Now I want to see Matilda again. JZ and Matilda were off at church the one little bit of time I got to stop by Chez Zmayhem in December, so I got to see neither of them.
On the other hand, Emmett was there, so I got to see him (even though he mostly ignored us and played computer games).

Awww! He treated you just like you're family!

Nikki Finke's back. I'm wishing she'd stayed gone longer.
