First Word

Pete's first word (besides some unassociated "mamas") was ball. He started saying it a week ago and I've never said the phrase "Where's your ball?" more in my life.

Also I have to post some of these Pete pictures from a mini photo shoot I did in the backyard a few weeks ago. His outfit coordinated with our worn down fence. So obviously, I had to take some pictures.

So, I'm taking that as a "no"?

No, really…have you spoken with my agent? 

I call this my "jungle cat". It's fierce.

Where to start?

I've come here to write a post after a long absence about 12 times. How do you just pick up and start writing again? I feel like I need to document everything that's happened to me in the last 3, 4, 5 (how long has it been?) years! That's a daunting task. So I guess I better just start with something and not feel like I have to fill in the gaps. The gaps are documented in notebooks, random slips of paper, and my phone. I'll just think of it as giving my posterity something to compile…like a detective game! Yeah, I like that.

But really, the biggest change since I've written IS my posterity. That would be Pete (so far).

In fact, the little blurb above is from Pete and he was in high heaven while I let him play with the keyboard to produce it. He likes everything he can't have.   Here's a picture of him a few days after we brought him home from the hospital.


Oh man. I better put another one in.



Oops. That was two…What a little squish face! Not nearly as squishy as he is now. He is a champ with so much personality it can hardly be contained in his little (albeit fat) body. Let's just end with a couple more shots of when he was teeny tiny and we were worried he wasn't gaining any weight.



More Pete to come soon with some ramblings from his mom (and maybe his Dad [if he isn't scared and has his blogging pants on]).
