How often do you really look at a man’s shoes?*
Or the back of a baby girl’s neck?
Apparently not that often, or at least closely, since we discovered at Christina’s second check-up yesterday that she has . . . a birthmark! Not a big one, or very dark, and unless she pulls a Degeneres-era Anne Heche, it will be covered by her hair. […]

Blame Jonah Goldberg
The reason for this
can be found here.
(Jonah being the one who linked to it, of course, as is his way.)

That’s more like it
I could have titled this one “A good day” as well. Maybe I should make it a category. Then I could look them all up at once for nice memory stroll. Hmmm.
The occasion for this one was a nice day out with the kids. Had reason to believe it wasn’t going […]

My search for the perfect cap
Clint has a cap. He loves his cap. He wears his cap all the time. His cap is starting to fall apart. This makes Clint sad. (Which makes me sad.)
For our anniversary, I decided that I would like to find a replacement for Clint’s beloved cap, before it is completely […]

What’s her name again?
Sure-to-grate-on-other-people-if-they-heard-them nicknames that I’ve come up with so far for Christina, roughly in terms of frequency:
Baby
Baby girl
Cutey-kins
Sweety-kins
Bobblehead
Snookums
Babycakes
Buttons
Scooter
and others I’m sure I’ve used but, perhaps fortunately, forgotten.

How did I get this lucky?
I guess by marrying Carole.

The only time she’ll be glad she put on weight
We just weighed Christina for the first time since last Thursday, and she’s put on some healthy poundage. Or in Carole’s words, “She’s gained weight! She has gained weight! Yay!” She was 7 lbs., 8 oz. last Thursday—3.5 oz. below her birth weight (I just added the .5 oz for Carole; “It matters!”). Today she’s […]

Must-see-kid-die
Angelina came into the kitchen this afternoon to get some water and as she was leaving I asked her what show she was going to watch while snacking.
“Not going to watch TV,” she said in a sing-song voice. “Going to watch Christina.”

The Birth (from Carole’s viewpoint)
I woke from a sound sleep not knowing exactly why, but with images of warm blue waters rushing towards me; I rolled out of bed — I think I was trying to escape the big wave that was about to engulf me in my dream — and as I was rolling I became aware of […]

Here we go
Carole’s water broke around 2:42 a.m., and we’ve been up getting things ready for an exit to the birth center when her body says jump. I just had some breakfast and Carole sent e-mails to everyone. She also posted on the Errant Gamers board, prompting an immediate surprised message from apparent night-owl Marc: […]
