Bro & Sis


Our latest excursion to Daytona Beach proved quite enjoyable. Here I am with my big brother who I depend on for constant stimulation. He's the best.

Ground Zer0


Mommy, Daddy and I went over to hang in the city - we pulled right up under the World Trade Center "Pit" on the PATH train. It was a sobering sight. That didn't prevent Daddy from a feeble attempt at artistic impression by taking a snap of this plaque with Mommy and I's reflection in it. *sigh*

Love,

NLC

Update Hoboken

Its been four long months since my last post but I've been very busy. Long story short, I now live on the Hudson River overlooking the glorious Manhattan skyline. Its a far cry from Virginia horse country but I think the cosmopolitan life is growing on me. I've been frequenting the bathtub where I have a spread of toys....I must say its pretty a pretty cool place.

I will try and post more often but no guarantees since we're still trying to sell the old place in Virginny.

Blue Marbles at the Wedding

Sometimes the eyes seem a little overdone when the camera comes out.

We had a great time at Aunt Kare's Wedding in Phoenix a couple weeks ago, although the weather was very "un-desert-like" - snow was far too close for my liking.

We had an uneventful trip out and back on the plane. Mommy said Tay-tay and CJ were the biggest helpers while I more or less contended myself with being waited on.

Ah well - such is the life of a 15 month old.

Christmas Morning with Tay-Tay

Just a quick note to let everyone know that my sister and I had a great time together Christmas morning. Mommy and Daddy thought this was a particularly good pic so we're sharing.

Something Akin to Excrement But Tastier

Wow...this particular meal was full contact all the way. I found if you get it up your nostrils a certain way, it can have a very positive impact on the palate.

I think I would have been better off using the bowls on the floor behind me. BTW - those bowls are for the new puppy!!! Photos on that front shortly.

Chirstmas at Nicola's House

I would like to thank Santa for my red Ferrari. All in all, Christmas was a really great event. Much better than last year since I was only six weeks old at the time....ah, how time flies. I'd like to thank everyone for all the wonderful gifts - I really raked it in.

Children For Sale....Get Your Children Here!!

Wow - I had my Halloween Parade yesterday at school and I'm not sure I've ever been so traumatized. I'm sitting there, minding my own business when all of a sudden I'm thrown into a lobster costume, plunked down right next to a skunk and then paraded around the parking lot in front of literally hundreds of adults with cameras. Truly horrifying and humiliating.

On top of all that, every time I saw Mommy or Daddy I immediately felt compelled to burst into tears along with screams of bloody murder.

But after all was said and done, the parental units saved me from all the madness and whisked me away to the safety of home and a great meal (most of which I threw on the floor).

FrankenFloat

I think we've stumbled on one of the most horrific science projects for 2006. This thing looks like something right out of the old black and white films of people trying their latest aviation experiment while jumping off a bridge. The only difference is this one seems to work....thank the Florida God of Floating!

Truth be known, Mommy found this contraption at the store and I loved it. I totally hung with all the pool vets in the family and we had a grand time. I don't know what this thing is called but it comes highly recommended....uh...for babies.

MAXI-ME


ok - I know all of you have heard of Mini-me but look who I stumbled into?!?! My big sister is a mirror image of me - only 12 years apart! The ole girl still has the stuff ....and maybe a few more teeth. All I know is that we're bestest buds... NLC

Local Girl "Finds Her Legs"

Local Girl "Finds Her Legs"
After several months of not being able to control her faculties, a local Northern Virginia girl has begun to get some controlled movement in her legs. When asked how she felt about these developments she replied, "da-da-da-da...", followed by a long raspberry/spitting type action that went on without end. Clearly excited, her parents expect additional developments to include, walking without aid of the walker-device, wearing of shoes and socks, bruising of the knees and the all around malaise one would expect from learning to walk.

As part one in the series, we'll follow this young lady through her trials and tribulations as she continues her upward climb toward functioning as a normal human being.

Several Pics to Make Up for My Neglegence


This is Cap and I during our vacation down to Florida over Labor Day weekend. I have a real penchant for trying to rip the lower lip off any mouth I can get my hands on.

Do Not Try This at Home.






Mommy and I hanging out in Florida. I swear she knows exactly what I'm going to do, way before I do it....it can be a real buzz kill, especially when I'm using my walker around the house.





Daddy and I hangin' down in F-L-A.

Gettin' our groove on.










Token Lobster Shirt from Aunt Kare - it totally worked down in The Sunshine State.

Affluent VA Girl Poses as Smarmy Peasant

I just love my new peasant blouse, especially when its time to hit the pool party over at the neighbors house. Those girls from Le Mis don't have costumes near as convincing.

Daddy says this blouse may fit my new socioeconomic profile soon if we're not careful. AOL isn't going to be payin' the bills for long! Oh well...so I'm getting a head start on the new lifestyle.

A Mother's Kiss

...not to get too sappy but Mommy rocks. I see her and basically my whole body smiles. Here's a pic of she and I in one of our quieter encounters. I asked Daddy to take a picture of this unusually solemn moment since these are fairly rare in our house. I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend!

Always Blame the Older Man.

ok, ok....guilty as charged, its been far too long since I've posted but really, I'm at the mercy of Daddy. Don't tell him I said so but it's really all his fault. You and I both know I can only contribute so much here. I mean I provide the visuals, the emotions, the spirit if you will to this whole experience. Daddy on the other hand is in charge of translating my true ethereal meaning into what you see here. It really is true, behind every good woman there is a loving, witty but aging and generally overweight man to help support her.

More pics to come soon - Daddy promises.

HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!!

Heat Meiser in Training

When prompted, curls do seem to be prevalent as demonstrated by this recent photo of Daddy and I right after bath time.

Bath time has become quite enjoyable - we do it right next to the mirror which always seems to prompt a strange baby to start her bath at the same time....curious.

Bed Spread

After yet another blog sebattical I've returned with more grippy photos of my tales. Last weekend I slept all the way through the night for the first time and right after I woke up from this banner night of REM sleep I promptly rolled over for the first time too!! Of course I haven't done either since but you can never take progress for granted - an important lesson for Mommy and Daddy.

This snap also confirms I have 10 toes and NONE of the "freak" variety...sorry Mommy.

Blogalicious

Happy Sunday friends! I'm reporting from the living room couch, your window to the world when it comes to the latest in blogging.

This week's fashion comes courtesy of Mommy as she has once again duped me into wearing the latest in baby-blog couture. Not without my protest mind you - it can be plainly seen on my left leg. I generally try to "break-in" all my new outfits immediately upon donning them but I was particularly pleased with my effort in this instance.

BTW, I'm getting close to rolling over and my feet are becoming much more interesting to play with lately.


May you all be blessed with duck feet.

Easter Bunny Rocks

Im waiting with bated breath for the rodent they call the Easter Bunny. I hear baskets full of chocolate and eggs hidden throughout the house are some of the things I should expect but since I can't walk and I'm still more or less on formula I'm relegated to observing one more time. I tell you, once I'm mobile Mommy and Daddy will wish they'd gotten a puppy instead.
HAPPY EASTER!!!!

Lobster Trap

Sorry I haven't posted in a while - the family has been busy as heck and well, its tough for a girl like me to always make time for the Information Superhighway.

So as most of you know Mommy has this lobster kick - I'm not sure what drives this sickness but suffice to say, I have now fallen victim to it.

I'm lying around, trying to get "unconstipated" and after I finally leave Mommy and Daddy some truly unspeakable inventory in my diaper, next thing I know I'm thrown in the bath and I emerge as a billboard for Red Lobster. Perhaps I deserve it after a couple nights of keeping everyone up with my plumbing backed up but come on already. I'd like to think my 5 month birthday would have warranted something a little more sheek but alas....no.
