Extra, Extra, Read All About It

Here is smacky on a random Monday or Friday, enjoying the Fry's ad before she eats her satsuma.

Notice that I didn't say "enjoying reading the Fry's ad."

She crumples newspapers within an inch of their lives and then goes on with her day like nothing has happened.

So fierce.

Another New Taste

Granny made chocolate pudding the other day, and Smacky had some. Yum! She loved it.









She also loved how the pudding gave her a temporary mustache and soul patch. Oooo la la!

Hey, Is That Thing Edible?

What fascination we have with my little black cellphone!

Smacky actually forgot about her french fry for a moment as I snapped this shot last Saturday.

Checking the Engine

I bought Smacky a wheeled xylophone before she was born, anticipating (hoping for) musical talent to rear its delightful head.

So far, all I've observed has been some slobbery chewing of the mallet, but Gary says that she did some wacking earlier today. I wonder when she'll be ready for an overturned pot and a wooden spoon?

Maybe I should wait to introduce that noisy toy. Like, forever.

No Ketchup, Thanks

My phone miraculously gave me a soft lens today to emotionalize Baby's First French Fry.

Isn't she cunning?

You wouldn't think so if you'd heard her scream when I denied her her golden, crinklecut heart's desire. Yikes! She's got some lungs on 'er!

Space Monkey Coffee

Here are Smacky and Gary, lounging around at coffee on Saturday. It was a chilly day but the walk was nice, the sun was warming, and the coffee was gooooood. Plus bunny came, too, which seems now like a treat since I can't find her anywhere.

Where is bunny! (And why do I choose such boring names for stuffed animals!)

Baby Layabout

Smacky and I woke up at 4:44 this morning (don't ask me why, it was her idea) and Gary, being the baby-sleeping wizard that he is, got her to sleep from 7:30 to ... last I heard, she's still asleep, and it's 9:30.

I think she has a little bit of food stuck to her forehead, but no matter. She doesn't have any appointments or dates today so she can stay in her jammies and not wash her face until later. Lucky baby!
