Babies Love Water

Home- Nothing ends a foul mood and brings on sunshine like a bath and some goofy sounds from Daddy.

A hot day in Cali.....80 degrees!

one can only wish...

One can only wish that the pounds and pounds of milk (actually, ounces and ounces) Adalee consumes and, thus, increases HER weight would translate into mom's losing an equivalent if not greater amount. However, despair, that is not the case. Thus, I've been forced for the first time in my life to diet and exercise on a regular basis. This sucks!!!! Oh well, as long as the smiles keep coming I guess my other selfish desires can remain in second place.

En La Ciudad - I must apologize to my baby girl for not updating her blog for some time. A computer issue has left me recreating lesson plans for next year during the few idle moments Adalee gives me. Here is one from my 27th birthday:

Los Angeles - My two lovely ladies treated me to a "name it" day on my birthday. Whatever Dad wanted to do all he had to do was name it for it to be done.
The morning started with a delicious egg-in-the-hole style breakfast provided by Kelly and enjoyed by all followed by a short walk along the beach. Adalee loves the ocean breeze.
I need to make this quick . . . Adalee is getting hungry. The days highlights were a trip to the farmer's market for gumbo, a stop at La Brea tar pits, and a visit to the LACMA. To top it all off, we made dinner and watched my favorite movie, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. That one always brings the tears.

Best,

E

There is a reason why no photos will be updated this week. My beautiful baby girl has acne. Not just acne, but acne on TOP of what they call a "prickly heat" rash. Google it if you want to look it up, but it's quite disturbing and I'm more than a little obsessed with trying to find a cure for it. Sleeping naked doesn't seem to be helping much, nor do daily baths.

On the brighter side, however, I told Adalee that she could have acne the rest of her life if she continues to SMILE and LAUGH the way she started to this weekend. Perfect timing~ just after mom's emotional meltdown that she wasn't "connecting" with me, she stares at me and giggles like I'm the funniest person in the world. And my goodness, what a GORGEOUS smile she inherited from her father. And that dimple....
