Happy New Year!

Ah, what a year. Amazing. Last year while we were watching the New YEar's festivities in NY, we had a sweet little baby, who, after some major fussiness, was sleeping like a newborn upstairs, with not a tooth in her mouth. This year...um, yeah, we have the same. But not for long.

Whoo-hoo! (This is a sarcastic 'whoo-hoo', btw.) The girl is teething. (We're pretty sure.) And she may or may not have a runny nose cold type-thing. She woke up with a lovely crust over her nose. So pleasant. Don't know if it's a genuine cold (she was passing around the sippy cups w/ my friend's 20 month-old twins at Friday night's party, and they apparently woke up with nasty cold the next day.) Or, "unexplained" sniffles can be a sign of teething. Either way, we see something popping through there, and please noticed the new blinkie:



Yeah, had to break out the infant Motrin, and we heard quite a bit of yelling before she finally consented to be put to sleep. I of course had to sneak in later and check her. Poor kid. Happy New Year, she'll wae up to crusty nostrils.

Eh, whatever, there's worse things.

We went out to Red Lobster - damn them and their Cheddar Bay biscuits, they had me at hello! - and rented The Simpsons Movie and hung out, munching on our Christmas leftover goodies. The doggie is quite happy we're home. Now we're heckling the Home Shopping Network actors, and wondering why our hick neighbors have been setting off fireworks 12 minutes early. It's very nice here.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
