Milk Mess

When you switch from formula to milk, remember to don't let the baby hide her old bottle. All must be accountable otherwise you'll pay for it the next morning.

Tell 'em the news

The baby and I went to the nearby farmer's market to pick up a friend's CSA share. I'm holding the baby in one arm while picking a good 3 pounds of little potatoes. She's turned herself around in my arm and proceeds to talk for nearly the entire time with a young couple behind me. It was a full conversation of nonsense words. I fear this baby will turn into a politician or at least a news pundit. I lean toward pundit since that requires less fundraising.

Under There

After a lifetime of daring to keep our trashcan in plain sight, we've converted to under the sink trash can people. We just had to since the baby decided that garbage cans are for putting anything inside them. She doesn't understand the concept of rubbish. Thus we must put it behind a cabinet door with a child lock. She can still toss stuff into the "non-decaying matter" trash can. It just feels so shameful when I have to hide the garbage can. Maybe in 2021 we can free range the garbage can once more.

I Don't Hate Parenting

New York magazine has an article about how having kids don't make married couples that much happy. I agree since whenever someone calls me for a poll, I'm too exhausted to give happy answers.

a proper noon

sitting back in my chair, giving the baby her bottle while watching Match Game 74. She will have memories of Charles Nelson Reilly. is that a good thing?

that voice

The baby is now starting to talk using her barely there words. She can go on for quite a long time in a sing song voice. I often think she's secretly learning French when I sleep. although she doesn't give me that much time to sleep.

A second show

The baby now watches Blue's Clues. It's not nearly as painful as the Backyardigans. The nice part is the guy is named Joe so it's almost like they're talking about me. He also looks rather stoned.
