- We are both still awake, and there are birds chirping outside and What. The. Fuck.
- Way, way too many skinny, pale, almost-vaguely-ethnic, blonde chicks up in my fashion editorials right now. Diversity, PLEASE.
Although I love her, Ms Jolie’s got nothin on these kissy lips:

… but since we are and Maia has made it so for the past 90 minutes, I thought I’d share this cute shot of her “thoughtful face” I got while she was in her swing yesterday:

So if you consider the fact that we set the clocks ahead an hour last night, I got 3.5 hours of sleep in a row … it just felt like 2.5.
Too bad that things don’t actually work like that!

Three weeks with our baby, and every day is unlike the one before. Her sleep is so erratic; yesterday she slept for 2 hours between 8am and midnight, and today she’s been asleep nearly all day. When she’s awake for that long I worry that she’s sick, but of course I think the same when she’s asleep so much (I’ve taken her temperature and she’s fine).
This whole being a parent thing isn’t easy, already. I find that watching TV and, in particular, the news, is a completely different experience. A disturbing one. I find myself so sympathetic to all the stories; I wonder how I would feel if it were my child who was going through some of these things that are news worthy. The kidnappings, the murders, the successes; it doesn’t matter, good or ill, I see Maia in the centre of the story.
In positive news, Grandpa got the baby swing working today, so baby girl is quite happy again (so is her mommy, who can now hold a plate with one hand and a fork with the other)! Also, while Grandma was here, we looked at some of Chris’ childhood pictures… and look at how much my little girl looks like her daddy! Here’s Chris:

And Maia:

… and focus on the adorable baby!


This super cute outfit was sent up by my brother’s girlfriend :] I wish I’d gotten a better shot of it, but she was so busy being passed around once she woke up (and she kicked off her boots!) that this is all I have. Chris actually picked out the boots at a mom-to-mom sale… they’re freakin adorable.
We had her all dressed up for our “baby shower”… really more of a YAY THERE IS A BABY IN THE FAMILY! party.

Inspired by this post over at Crazy Town, USA, here’s a picture of me with my mommy:

This was at my first Easter, so I was about three months old… awwhh!
I mean seriously, is this furry girl not gorgeous in red?
