In my attempt to capture Lily's giggles, she, as most of you would assume, outsmarts her mama.

And just when I thought I had her, she strikes again! At least we know her hand-eye coordination is up to speed...maybe too well. This video gets a little long and crazy voices are heard from the camera"mom" but bare with me; I'm a parent trying to capture all those kodak memories for Lily...ok, maybe for Ken & me selfishly!

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

We're off to Las Vegas tomorrow leaving our lil' baby girl for the first time. It's a mixture of nervousness, excitement, sadness, anticipation and the list goes on. Lily will be well taken care of by her two cousins, Tristan & Will, with a bit of help from Aunt Laura and Uncle Duncan...so we're not worried there! I, however, am worried about the fact I have not consumed alcohol as you do in Vegas for well, well over a year...and college buds Carrie and Sarah with their hubbies Dave aka "Guder" and Chris aka "Big Chris" will be there, so as you can imagine, I'm even more scared! Ken, please pack the GIANT advil bottle. Miss Lily, we love, love, love you and will miss you tremondously but I've got to say we are looking forward to getting a full night's rest and sleeping in past 6am. Good luck Laur and Dunc! (and thank you!!)

Here's me in the "final product". Here's how it started...

The car ride began like any other...this thing in my hair was new however...

hmmm...not sure I like this strange thing on top of my head??

It's creepin'...

Damn. I knew it would end like this.

I'm in my Bumbo, I'm in my bumbo...

Simply...one of my favorite pics ever. I came in to check on Miss Lil and this is what I found. I went straight for the camera...

Some say I look exactly like my mom...pretty sure they also think Clay and Rubin are going to make it big.

Trying this out...first post. Question: does it work? We'll see when i hit publish post...
