With Brigid, I felt sick, all of the time. I didnt really get sick that often, but I always felt like I was on the verge of it, and that was just a miserable way to spend three months. With this one,...

Between trips to the neighborhood pool and popsicles on the back porch, I think its safe to say weve bypassed spring and jetted straight into summer...
Apparently, when Brigid told me the other night that she did not, in fact, like me much at all, she was totally yanking my chain. Because when I got home from work last night? I got more hugs from th...
Brigid and Steve have been out of town for the last few days, on a long weekend trip to the beach. Its been nice and relaxing around the house, with only myself to deal with (I cleaned the house on S...
...Ill be sitting over here, simultaneously crying my eyes out and dancing for joy, because my baby is leaving me for a few days to go to the beach with her father. Will I miss her? More than anythin...

Friday night, Steve and Brigid caught a ride downtown with Steves sister and mom to meet me for dinner when I finally got off of work for the day. And since my car was the only family vehicle availab...
A couple of weeks ago, Steve was throwing Brigid around the room, and even though she seemed to think it was the greatest ride ever, it freaked me out a little bit. And when I told him to quit, ...
She has the angry model look down cold, doesnt she? It should be noted that we went to the spring festival in our town this weekend, primarily to get Brigid a balloon. And then she made Steve let the...

So far, today, Brigid has successfully asked to go to the bathroom twice, plus once urged me that she needed to go and wed better hurry, only to show me that she had, in fact, already done her #2 bus...
Dont say it too loudly, because you might spook her, but Brigid has gone two days (nights not included) with no diaper. Two days, two dry naps, two small accidents. Well, one small accident. I t...
Remember how much fun it was to feel your stomach drop when someone pushed you really, really high on the swing? And once again, Im left wondering where exactly my baby went, and who this totally awe...
This morning, Steve informed me over the phone that he and Brigid werent friends anymore. Apparently, theyd had a rough go of it, ever since Brigid woke up, and it didnt seem to be getting any better...
Steve and I have recently decided that Brigid is now of the age where we should start thinking about moving her out of her crib and into a big girl bed. (And by age, of course, I mean weight. I am ol...
I know that, as an adult, I should be over the magic of the holidays by now. Ive been behind the curtain, and Ive seen the secrets of Christmas presents and Easter egg hunts and money under pillows. ...
No, YOUR daughters Easter dress came from the merchandise tent at Augusta, complete with the little yellow Masters symbol on the chest... Whatever. They make cute stuff, and she wears it well,...

Steve (leaving the room): Night night, Brigid. Brigid (to me): Daddy go potty. Me: No, kiddo, I think daddys going to bed. Brigid: No. Daddy go potty. Be right back. ------------------------------ B...
I know my poor dog is not the most favorite animal around these parts, mostly because shes the most obnoxiously annoying dog in the HISTORY of dogs, but you know what?Brigid kind of likes her...And t...
I see raindrops and think, "The yard is going to get muddy, and the dogs are going to track it in, and I need to get a towel to clean them off, and the tv is going to go out, and I hope this does...
When I was growing up, my dad was full of great one liners, including (but not limited to): My grandma was slow, but she was 90... Mess with the bull, you get the horns (not original, but useful none...
Me: No, Brigid, you cant stand on the balcony. You have to stay in the house. Brigid: Well, that just doesnt seem fair, right there. Maybe, if I just stand here, looking cute, shell change her mind?...
