Quick: What’s grosser than gross?

What’s grosser than that?
Tatiana spitting up in Rahul’s mouth.
GROSS.
I’ve been pretty lucky in the spit-up department. My shirts? Not so much. About half of my favorite t-shirts now have a long dark patch down one side of them. Some of them even have [...]

Speaking of singing, here’s a video we did when Tatiana was 5 weeks old… oh, so long ago!
Go Bears!

These days the nanny leaves around 3PM, so I get a little one-on-one time with littlebabygirl. And I’m convinced that this is Tatiana’s happiest time of day. Well, except when she’s eating… or playing with Sarah… or…

Yesterday, around 10 AM, I was working at my desk when out of the corner of my eye I saw this.

“What the hell is that?!” I thought.
Then I saw this:

“Oh, right! I forgot,” [...]

Well, I guess you all proved me wrong.
Natalie beat Jasmine.
Let’s see who else Natalie beat to get here: Circe, Noemi, Alia
Amelie (of course) beat out Grace.
Let’s see who else Amelie beat to get here: Claudette, Lily, Jasmine
In both cases it looks like they got a free pass on the first round, but the competition got [...]
