Hidden Desires

Oct. 6, 2009

Have you ever met someone who was perfectly lovely, had nice manners, and shared your love of hair accessories, but something about their smile made you uncomfortable, as if they were desperately trying to control their desire to eat you?

Movie Butter

I have not tried to dig this one out of the medical journals, but Rosa has been in the phase where her poo smells like movie popcorn butter, the stuff from the tap that prevents gastrointestinal viscosity breakdown. Emmy had a similar phase where she was lovingly referred to as "Butter Baby." So based on our experience, we assume all babies have this phase since we have not taken any special steps to enhance the butteryness of our children. Let's review some facts.

1. All scientific and religious evidence I am aware of say babies came before the movies.
2. Movie butter had to come after the movies. It is possible the industry was built around the butter, but they would have acted quickly having discovered such a wonder. Either way, this still gives babies a big head start.

Therefore, someone smelled their infant's poo and said, "This would go great on popcorn while watching a motion picture show." The evidence is irrefutable.

Business E

Here is the E working the business look with an oversize tie and belt, so big they fit Dada. She chose to accessorize with a orange hat and be eco-friendly and take a donkey to work.

Pageant Buddies

Sept. 20, 2009

I have been training Emmy for a life of child pageants. The key word is "pose." This is her signature pose, one hand under chin. We are still working to go from smirk to smile. Rosa, as you can plainly see, is still a project. But I see potential, as she clearly has the pizazz factor. If I can only loosen up those fingers, we'd have jazz hands. Nothing says "personality" like jazz hands.

The Smurf Tunnel

Sept. 18, 2009

Here is Emmy enjoying a collapsible tunnel that came from Marc, Lisa and Matthew. She seemed surprised that I would actually be at the other end. I think she thought it went to Fairyland.

Rosa is One Month

Here is the one-month shot. Again, the questioning, beady Lloyd eyes. A more oval head than the E.

4 Weeks-ish

Sept. 21, 2009

Here are some mugshots of Rosa. Christa says she has my eyes, but that is all that is clearly attributable to either of us.

The Smooch

It appears the inhale is strong enough to move lip.

Little Sis comes home

August 27, 2009

Is this it?















Does it do anything?
















It's a lot smaller than I was hoping for.
















Still not impressed.
















Maybe if I kiss its eyeball, it will magically turn into something more interesting.
