These are photographs that I snapped after having turned a corner or entered a room, only to find mah baybay in various postures, doing various activities, most of which I had no idea that she could 1) access and/or 2) perform independently.
Like, where in the hell AM I, anyway?
At the hall mirror.

In her baby carriage.

Um, what's with the fucking straw? Anyone?
P.S. The slicked-back hair style was courtesy of an oily-type lunch. It is not baby-pomade.

Pushing the walk-behind car thingamajig.
*
*
Relaxing in the baby Poang.
P.S. Please. Check out the little monkey feet. OMG. They are like a SNACK.
*
*
Whoo, boy. I don't even know where to begin.
*

Aaaaaand, THAT would be a tasty little cracker snack from the goodie cabinet.
(Which, CLEARLY, needs to be organized. Or uh, CLOSED before I snap a pho-to.)
==============================================================================
* Please note that if you're thinking: 'My, The New Girl is really fucking phoning it IN lately.' or 'Where is my new MANSON story she promised?' or 'I'm never clicking by here again, because LAME,' you have my sympathies. I know it. I KNOW.
* Why does it keep happening that I don't feel like I have anything to say, despite having never been at a loss for words in my life? I'm blaming the weaning-ish hormones, which you guys were so RIGHT about. And then, just post pictures of my cute-ass kid, hoping to distract you. I know that you're too smart for that.
OMG, look at that look on her face in the last picture: "what, Mom? who, me? I just can't im-AG-ine what you're talking about!" As my mom would say, it's like ice wouldn't melt in her mouth ... but crackers? That's another story.
And the baby POANG chair? I have been sooooo frequently tempted to buy this ... I have the grownup one in the same colour (but 'family friendly' leather) but I fear it might make me look like Dr. Evil and Mini Mie (Mimi me?)

Baby feet! I am DYING over here.
On a totally IT'S ALL ABOUT ME! note, Grayson discovered yesterday he could fit his toes in his mouth. Which he proceeded to do over and over for about 30 minutes. While the rest of us writhed in hysterics, unable to reach a camera. Because of the tears of laughter.

Okay, when did your kid go and GROW UP?!?!
(BTW, how are you? Email me!)

Was it the same straw or does she have a secret straw stash?
Being distracted by TLNG is okay with me, not that my comment will sway you in any fashion.
I totally hated the weaning hormones, well that and the flabby boobs. We had to go cold turkey because Giggles insisted that she get every meal from the Cow...er, me and wouldn't be shy about it either. She would climb up and undo buttons and nursing bras. Damn those fine motor skills I was so excited about when she got them! (BTW she was about 15 mos at the time of weaning)

She is so adorable!
For the record, I love the photo distractions. I'm totally, happily distracted!

i SO just want to gobble her up. You make cute babies!!!
Posted by: Emily | August 06, 2008 at 12:26 PM
Now you've done it. I want a girl. She is sooo cute!!
Ok, let me try this. *wiggles nose like Samantha from Bewitched*
Yea!! It worked. I'm preggers. Now we just gotta wait and see if its gonna be a girl!
(I wasn't kidding on the preggers part...just found out for sure yesterday. I'll be due in the same month when my twins turn two. Wish me luck!!)

Distraction is working, TLNG is too cute to want to read anything else!
Posted by: megumi | August 05, 2008 at 10:46 PM
Um, SERIOUSLY. The weaning hormones are kicking my a$$ all over the place. I feel ya. Oh and the straw is too cute!
Posted by: Claire | August 05, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Um, don't care about anything else, still too busy with cute baby pictures. (it must be working, that distraction thing) I don't know what it is about the baby lounging in the baby sized chairs, but it is a favorite around here too. Too cool for their own good.

Oh, I know where to begin with the laundry basket photo! She's thinking "hmmm, if I put my foot HERE, I can get onto the table!" My little guy is two days younger than TLNG, and is OBSESSED with climbing onto the end table.

SO CUTE IT MAKES MY OVARIES HURT
Posted by: well read hostess | August 05, 2008 at 05:27 PM
If she stomps on enough laundry, does it make whine?
Posted by: Astarte | August 05, 2008 at 04:28 PM
no no no no NO....I love it. Not only did it make me smile and remember my days at home with my daughters...I find I miss them so...and my grandchildren are adults.
Posted by: JO | August 05, 2008 at 03:05 PM
While I love the crazy neighbor story I'll take photos of your daughter any day. She is just to damn cute.
Posted by: jean | August 05, 2008 at 02:16 PM
I, for one, don't mind being talked down to.
Dude, she's walking SOON. Get anything of value/swallow-able and put it away.
Posted by: Manic Mommy | August 05, 2008 at 01:20 PM
She is fricken cute...
Posted by: Ellie | August 05, 2008 at 12:54 PM
Although the Manson stories are entertaining, I prefer this type of shit.
Posted by: Jen | August 05, 2008 at 11:57 AM
i may or may not be too smart to be distracted like this...
...but i love it anyway.
she is DELICIOUS.

I don't mind the photos. Those big blue eyes are a cute distraction.

I wish I could tell you what's up with the straw. Maybe we can ask my 20 month old. Seems regular sippys are for wimps. We (and I mean He) will ONLY drink from a straw or a regular cup with no lid. Talk about massive mom coronaries every day. I really didn't want to spend another hour of my day cleaning up spilled drinks too.
