VL turns one today! i miss her baby cankles.

reason number umptillion for breastfeeding:
you get a free pass out of jury duty.

VL has reprogrammed the fone 2 spanish. we cant change it back! pues nunca aprendi vocabulario para reprogramar el telefono.

been meaning to update. VL sprouted the top two teeth simultaneously a couple of weeks ago. they are HUGE. like actual chiclet size. she wouldn't let me look at them until they finished breaking thru the gum. and even now, i can only catch a glimpse in passing. i will try an post a photo from my phone, but she's quick.

now that she has teeth to make a voiceless labiodental fricative, i guess i gotta stop saying the f-word. though apparently, i am still permitted to say "frackin'". as in "her front teeth are frackin' HUGE!"

post-baby 5

According to http://kidshealth.org this is how the pounds a woman gains during pregnancy may add up:

~ 7.5 pounds:	average baby's weight
~7 pounds:	extra stored protein, fat, and other nutrients
~4 pounds:	extra blood
~4 pounds:	other extra body fluids
~2 pounds:	breast enlargement
~2 pounds:	enlargement of your uterus
~2 pounds:	amniotic fluid surrounding your baby
~1.5 pounds:	the placenta

so for that post-baby 5 lbs that you can't shake off, that just leaves the mystery of what are the 3 lbs extra?
