My Baby, I mean, Little Girl

It's easy to see that she's not a baby anymore. This is a classic NGK smile face. And she does look like she's up to something, so she probably is.



















She loves to hug and kiss everything right now, Mom, Dad, toys, little boys at the park, and even trees.















She is a girly, girl, carrying purses and picking up shoes, but she also loves to explore and get dirty playing in the dirt.















She now loves to smell flowers and blow her nose in a tissue.





















What I'm glad that she still likes to do is cuddle with her mommy. Right now she likes to suck her thumb and play with my hair all at the same time.

A Bad Car Wreck

That's the only way I can think to describe the ending to the latest season of The Bachelor. You hate to watch, and you know it's hurting someone else, but you just can't pull yourself away from it. I will readily admit I watch it, though I wouldn't say I'm addicted. And last night was so sad and bizarre, CDK said (oh yes, he was watching it with me and I know of at least 3 other hubbies doing the same - you know who you are) "I didn't know this was a comedy". I'll admit I was laughing at parts. I don't think it's funny that anyone was hurt, but here are my questions for those on the show:

1. Do you really think you can fall in "love" when you see someone so little?
2. Why do you all seem to be falling from the guy for the moment you meet him - I'm mean he has bad qualities too (the obvious being that he is dating 15+ women at once), why are you so blinded to them?
3. I think this resembles a modern-day harem, did you realize you were part of a harem (especially if you get down to the date with the fantasy suite)?
4. Are you that surprised that he wasn't the one after all?
5. And why, oh why, do you chose to subject yourself to that sort of public humiliation? Because face it, you all end-up humiliated in one way or the other in the end.

Harsh, I know, but not as harsh as Jason last night!
