Today's Appreciation

Three things I'm appreciative of today:
1. This beautiful child
2. Our amazing camera
3. This hairbow from Karen (my brother's mother-in-law and dear family friend)

New Toys

We brought out the "Bumbo" chair for Lola this weekend (apparently allows even the youngest infants to sit upright . . .) She seemed to enjoy it at first.

But quickly grew tired of the new toy.

Fourteen

That's the number of pictures you should take in order to catch this adorable-perfect-amazing-smile.

She loves her Uncle Craig!

(Lack of) Truth in Adverstising

Regarding celebrity endorsements:
I believe that Michael Jordan actually drinks Gatorade. I can imagine that Valerie Bertinelli and Jason Alexander have actually lost weight with Jenny Craig. I can even buy the notion that Beyonce uses L'Oreal makeup (probably not for photo shoots and concerts - but maybe she owns a lipstick or two for when she's slumming).

I cannot, however, under any circumstance, believe that Sarah Jessica Parker colors her hair with a hair dye that you can purchase at your local CVS. Not now. Not ever.

Playing with Daddy

Bad investments

We bought a very nice mobile for the crib. It has animals that circle around, three different styles of music, a simulated heartbeat, and it projects a lighted image above Sweet Lola's head . . . all the bells and whistles.

She prefers to stare at the ceiling fan.
