Seven-ish Weeks

Even though I am not posting hardly at all, I still compose umpteen posts in my head throughout the day--only to forget every last one when I have more than three and a half minutes to sit down, uninterrupted, to the computer (which, is in desperate need of a tuneup--or a smash against the wall-- whatev--, and therefore exceptionally S-L-O-W). How do ya like *that* long, run-on sentence?

And I'm faithfully stalking, but rarely commenting--sorry, slow computer again. Oh, and the baby I'm holding with my one arm. Clicking a mouse takes only one hand . . . typing, on the other hand (haha), is amazingly annoying when you can only use one hand.

But OH! Baby O! She is smiling now, pretty freely, and so you can usually catch one of us crowding in front of her, making utter fools of ourselves, trying to elicit a big, open-mouth baby grin.

The payoff is SO worth it!! The baby giggles are not far off . . .

And my three and a half minutes are up! mmmbuh-bye!

Buck's Back!

So good old Buck has been spending quite a bit of time up North in Canada. You can read all about his adventures here. Many thanks to Pam and her family for being such gracious hosts! Buck is now on his way home after spending the majority of 2009 on the road. He wants to meet Baby O! To those of you who had asked for Buck to visit, maybe he'll hit the road again in a few months. Until then, you can reminisce and re-live his travels anytime you want right here.

Thanks for sharing all the the adventures!

Ha-ha-halloween!

It worries me a little that I can see M doing something like this in his future....

We ARE Here . . .

We're just still adjusting to our new normal. Baby O is a very good baby, but she does like to be held . . . and I don't think there's anything better to do when you've got a new little person to acclimate to the world. I know that all too soon, she will be wiggling away from my grasp to go explore things on her own. I'm happy to indulge in as much snuggling and loving as she wants!

X loves her so much, I can't leave her alone when he's around . . . which is always! He's always asking me, "That you baby?" and then saying, "She nice baby!"

Yes. Yes she is a mighty nice baby.

"Baby Lilly-va."

We love her so!

MM: Isn't She Lovely?

I'm bidding you a fond farewell this week as your co-hostess for Musical Monday. Yes, LIFE is just crazyhecticbusy right now, and so I'm leaving you all in Diane's capable hands. I'll still join in the fun here and there, but from now on, make sure you go link up with Diane over at Good Mourning Glory! for all things musical on Mondays. It has been so fun to be a part of this meme for the last several months! Thanks for sharing all your tunes with me!

Have a great week and I'll see you around the blogosphere!
