The baby was not feeling up to snuff today and has been lounging around all morning. Understandably considering she was bothered throughout the night with bouts of mucousy, bloody poo and one bout of hacking barf. Luckily the baby has not had either this morning and has been resting in her self-made nests. Due to the baby's sad condition she has not been eating her food, though she did deign to eat some gently nuked chicken that her muhmuh tore up and fed to her by hand. When she does feel like eating, there will be some chicken and rice awaiting her. In the meantime she's sleeping like the baby that she is and dreaming of heaven knows whut. Happily though, I do believe that the baby is feeling a wee bit better as even in her dreary state she's managed to pose when the moment called for it -- however sleepy-eyed:

the baby's dirty harry impression

"go ahead... make my day..."

4 looks

the epitome of innocence.


the epitome of nosiness.


the epitome of suspicion.


the epitome of beauty.

blonde ambition

i've decided to take olive on the road to show off her high-fives, bear dances, and overall cuteness. it will be called the blonde piappy ambition tour. here she is at dress rehearsal.

taking inventory

well this morning the baby was a bit distraught because mommy did not come home last night. she didn't know what to do with herself but take inventory of her toys while i was in the shower.


"don't get too close to my toys!"


later she took a nap w/ me on the couch. at first i thought this was sweet, but then i realized it's just another way of her taking inventory. by sleeping up against ppl, she can be sure that they are not going anywhere!


the baby likes to sleep between me and the back of the couch. i have to be very careful not to squish her.


this is the face she makes when i roll over her little leggies.


the baby shows off her beauty mark. what an uncanny resemblance to marilyn monroe!

she can BEAR-ly stand it!

you spin me right round, baby right round
like a record baby
right round, round round

where's mommy?

well, olive's mommy is about to take off on her transcontinental+transpacific flight, and olive is hoping to catch a glimpse of her in the air. that is, if she has figured out yet that mommy hasn't just taken a short trip to key food.

she settled herself on the window sill just like so.



then she started looking around like a crazy person. so not quite sure if she was looking for mommy's airplane or looking for the other piaps whose voices she hears around her.

"arf, arf... the paint cans are after you... they want to harm you..."
"woof! there are demons hiding in jenn's backpack..."



in her confusion, she gave a not so photogenic look.



nonetheless, we plan to party our little white socks off in mommy's absence. off to key food to buy some corn chiyups and tequila!
