I'd like to do an update on the Divine Miss M but there is almost too much to say. I'm taking notes and hope to post something soon. (Hey, this kid isn't going to have a traditional baby book; the least I can do is an occasional post.)

In the meantime here are a few quick gems from C:

Daddy, you're the grinch!
--spoken as R dismantles our tree to put it back in its box

C: Mommy, will you help me spread out my quilt?
Me: No sweetie, you can do it yourself.
(C looks at MaDear, who always says yes to such requests, but is holding the baby)
C: MaDear, it's time for Mommy to have a turn holding the baby.

(C spies a bowl of water on the counter that R was using for something)
C: What's this?
Me: That's Daddy's. He poured it earlier.
C: With his nipples?
