My Girly Girl

For those of you (mother) that think my little girl is going to be a tom boy, just want to let you know that her first word was "shoes." Now, that's not to say that it won't turn into penny loafers or work boots, but I think we're on the right track to pink dresses for Maddy.

Just a couple of very amateurish videos taken with my digital camera (Panasonic DMC-TZ3). More of those to come...

Maddy...running away from me

My Daughter and Her Boyfriend

Ok, so I've been told by the daycare personnel that there's a little boy named Ethan, who apparently is very close to my daughter.

Now, I know she's only one (and a little bit) and he's only a little older, but the first thing that passes through my head is "Why haven't I met this boy?" and "I wonder what his parents do?" (Just an FYI...they will always be boys to me...my daughter will be 35 years old and still be dating, married to...whatever it is...boys) (oh...and not having sex...miracle births, and whatnot)

Back to Ethan. Most people would say he's a curly haired little cutey. He's walking and doing the stuff babies do, but that's not the way I see it. When I get past the view I have of the 18 year old punk kid trying to honk the horn in the driveway to get Maddy to come out so he doesn't have to come in, and see the 18 month old standing before me, I see that he's not talking (at least not to me), he's always carrying his raggedy blanket around, and he's got his innocent act down perfect. Well, I see through all that. I don't know what goes on at daycares when the parents aren't around, but I'm watching you, Ethan.

And so begins the insanity that is having a daughter.

Is there anybody out there...

A little Floyd reference, but I just wanted to see if anyone wanted to hear about another perfect baby on the internet. This will probably turn into something TO my daughter rather than ABOUT my daughter, but friends (new and old) and family are welcome to take a peek and see what Maddy's up to.
