spelling lesson

GAMEDAY!!! Today is Lydia’s first GameDay. She’s wearing her Lucky Onesie, we’ve sung all the GameDay songs, and now she’s camped out in her excellent vibrating chair, having a bit of paci and watching the GameDay show. I’ve been teaching her how to spell ‘Lee Corso’: P-E-N-I-S.

the orgin of the taco

So . . . why taco? Most people say bean, right? As with everything, there is a story to the taco name. Last October The Husband and I boogied down to Columbus, Georgia on a Thursday afternoon to meet my sister and her husband. We were going to see George Carlin — live! We were […]

two month old taco

Last weekend, Lydia turned two whole months old. Crazy how fast it’s going. She became more awake this month, though since nothing really interests her yet, being awake was very boring to her and she would get all mad. It wasn’t until recently that she started reacting to to stuff like The Husband and I […]

the taco goes to school

Tomorrow I go back to work, and thus Lydia will have her first day of daycare. On the one hand, I am looking forward to going back to work and am pleased that I still want to have a career. Many people told me I would ache to be a stay-at-home-mom once I had Lydia, […]

celebrity gossip

This morning I read a news story that reported Shia Labeouf might lose a finger due to a car accident. When I mentioned it to Steven, he chuckled and said, “I can see it now. They came in to tell him he might lose his finger and he goes, ‘No! Nononono no no no!‘ ” […]

did I mention this before?

I think I have forgotten to mention this earlier, but my sister is expecting her own firstborn little girl in about nine weeks. I’m going to be Crazy Aunt Carrie who makes blue pancakes for breakfast and Lydia will have a little cousin to tromp through life with. My sister and I like to do […]

packrat

Between Steven and me, I’m the packrat of the family. In fact, somewhere in this house is the little post-it note where I wrote Steven’s telephone number so I could call him — this was over nine years ago a few days after we started dating. I also tend to keep gift bags, rocks, old […]

a month-old taco

I can’t believe Lydia is already over a month old. In fact, she’s five weeks old today! She has grown so much, too. Lifting her head is practically a piece of cake, and boy does she eat a lot. I would guess she’s about nine pounds by now. After three weeks of easy burps and […]

surprisingly boring

Despite having a newborn around the house, there’s not really much worth talking about. At least, nothing non-babywise. For the time being I plan on keeping that on the other site. Since I’m still home on maternity leave, baby is all I do right now. A squirrel has taken interest in our deck because of […]
