Like pictures, but they move! And talk!
just one of the reasons we let her keep living here
November 18, 2008
"Just so you don’t think my kid is Misery and Torture all the time (Newsflash: She slept last night! Only woke up for 5 minutes at 4:30am and went right back to sleep! Happy dances all around!), I thought I’d share some of her adorableness in action. Now, of COURSE she did this whole thing way [...]"
my daughter, the genius.
November 05, 2008
"I know, I know: every parent thinks their kid is like, The Smartest Child On The Planet. So just bear with me while I brag for a few minutes ;) For the past week or so, Maggie has just been astounding us with the amount that she’s learning. It’s to the point where she’ll whip out [...]"
our day, yesterday
October 28, 2008
"As soon as I saw this, I knew I wanted to do it. Take video footage throughout your day, edit it all to fit into 90-seconds, then upload it to Flickr (and post it to the group if you’d like) I actually have 2 videos- because as it turns out, compressing an entire Toddler-Day into [...]"
everything’s coming up roses
October 13, 2008
"This weekend was crazy-busy. Saturday we visited a nearby farm for some good old-fashioned fall entertainment. Farm animals, a hayride, and a stroll through a pumpkin patch. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. Plus: my kid feeding a goat. How much more idyllic can it get? We came home for lunch and naptime (well… kinda. Maggie really [...]"
I’m a victim in my own house.
September 18, 2008
"I can take a joke. I really can. Throughout my life, I’ve been the butt of many-a-joke, people have picked on me for years- mainly because I take it well. I can laugh at myself (I think it’s pretty much a requirement for anyone with a blog!) But teaching her this? IS JUST MEAN. More posts [...]"
Let the indoctrination begin.

corn and ice cream.
August 25, 2008
"Yesterday we made an exception to our ‘Doing Nothing This Weekend’ plan and headed to my parents for the afternoon. There was free (yummy!) food involved, so who were we to say no? Plus, we always have a fun time over there. It wasn’t just the food. It was a hot afternoon, so we brought Maggie’s [...]"

"(I couldn’t think of a title to pull this incredibly non-cohesive post together, so I picked something random. First person to guess the reference wins a million rays of sunshine! …What, that’s a not a legit prize?) Saturday we spent the day at Kennywood, which was super awesome and fun and exhausting and wow, I never [...]"
bumps, bruises, carseats, and falling asleep in your dinner
June 02, 2008
"Yesterday was one of those days where you thought ‘Hey, what a relaxing, empty day we have ahead of us!‘ but then, it got filled up with busy-ness and stuff and ended up not being so lazy as you thought. Not in a bad way really, just different. Dan let me sleep in (YAY!) and got [...]"

recovery
March 30, 2008
"The party is over. It was lovely. Pictures soon. Today is a day of recovery and un-burying ourselves from the mountain of toys and clothes and presents now strewn about our house. For now, I present a tribute to The Monster’s First Year. More posts like this: Christmas December 26, 2005 useless internet toys September 18, 2005 just re-read it, [...]"
Grandma is a bad influence
March 27, 2008
"Dan and I went out for a couple of hours tonight to do some birthday shopping for some little girl who is turning 1 this weekend. My mom babysat for us. When we came home, THIS IS WHAT WAS HAPPENING. No more babysitting by Grandma. Next thing we know, she’ll be letting her play with matches. More [...]"
just re-read it, and this post is positively thrilling. prepare yourself.
March 24, 2008
"This past weekend was both busy and relaxing. An odd combination, but it works for me. Friday Dan was off from work (yay!) so we hung around the house, ‘loser-ing it up’ as we like to call it, and then that night we went to my parents’ house for my sister’s birthday party. She turned [...]"
one short year
February 29, 2008
"Today I found Photojojo’s Photo Time Capsule (thanks to Jessica!) and of course I had to sign up, and I immediately got my first bi-weekly email of photos from this time last year. Two of the photos are piles of gifts and clothes from my baby shower, one is of my GIGANTIC pregnant belly, and [...]"
good things
December 27, 2007
"After a couple of weeks of Whiny Teething Baby, we were given the gift of a joyous, happy baby again. Apparently she got into the eggnog on Christmas Eve: In other news, these are pictures of where we’re going with friends in June: HOLY. CRAP.

videos and snot and teeth
November 27, 2007
"Last night during the incredibly, painfully boring Steeler game (and embarrassing- did you SEE how horrible the field was??) I decided my time would be better spent multitasking. So I got caught up on uploading videos to my Vimeo account. There are three new ones. This one is from back in October- Maggie dancing with her [...]"
oh hai. pleez halp me?
August 23, 2007
"Oy. Work is eating me alive. And apparently my brain because I felt the need to use LOLCats language in the title. This week has been a big blur so far, with 2 days of trying to work during Maggie’s (extremely short) naps, plus one day of driving a gazillion miles to two different meetings with [...]"
I can’t believe my baby is eating from a SPOON
August 18, 2007
"Last night Maggie had her first taste of cereal! It actually went really well… though most of it did end up on her front, on her hands, and on her face. But I think she swallowed quite a bit, and as you can see, she was getting quite impatient with Dad’s casual attitude toward getting [...]"
why Maggie might never crawl
August 15, 2007
"Words cannot express how much Maggie despises tummy time. She has never liked it. When she was just a few weeks old, I would put her on her belly and she would immediately start screaming. As time went on, she screamed less but still wasn’t happy about the whole thing. Now that she’s a little [...]"
squeaky Maggie
August 02, 2007
"The other day, my mom babysat Maggie for me while I went to a meeting for work. My sister came over, too, and Maggie spent some time entertaining them with her stories and songs. Scotty of course had to ruin it at the end. Such an attention whore. More posts like this: boats and fireworks and kitties August [...]"

"If you had told me that one day I’d be sharing a video of my daughter ‘doing her business’ with the Internet, I would have said you were crazy. But this is just too good not to share: Dan came up with the title. And did the filming. He’s so mean to her. (Of course, I [...]"
