Why can’t I get anything done?

This is why. I have products that I need to photograph so I put her down next to me, contained in her old co-sleeper thingy. She decides to clear the table next to her. Of course smiling the whole time.

She is a bit of a distraction.
I don’t know if you have noticed but there is something special about this baby girl.
We call her the magnet, because she pulls people in. Even grumpy airport people that hate their job can’t resist a smile from this little chica.

A few quotes

When we went to court the lawyer said, “we see a lot of babies here. And all babies are cute. But some babies are extraordinary. This baby is extraordinary.”

The woman behind the desk at the car rental- “I really really want her. Can I keep her??”

The woman at the hotel desk, “I see so many babies come through here- but I want this one. Can I just clone her?”

And then the standard, “she is so happy. Is she always this happy?”

We are so very lucky. She is a very happy little girl. My mom saw her cry for the first time the other day. And it was because she was super tired and we were out having breakfast and she didn’t want to be in the high chair anymore.

Yesterday Austin came home from school and threw his backpack down and said, “where is my favorite sister??”

To which Blake snorted, “you only have one.”

The boys seems to be in a competition to be the favorite brother. She loves them all but Blake plays with her the most. So for now I think he wins.

Yesterday I bought a bottle of detangling spray for her hair. Life saver that stuff! Now I don’t have to comb out dread-locks.

Ok, time to finish my coffee and turn off the Today show. Lots of eye candy- Robert Pattinson and John Mayer. As much as I like “Edward”, I would have to pick John Mayer out of the two. I am a sucker for brown hair and brown eyes.

    the crazy hair and infectious smile reminds me so much of Maura when she was little – so glad you are enjoying Eva to the nth degree – these times are so very special!

    Austin–“where is my favorite sister?” I love it! What a sweet kid. But then with Eva as a little sister who wouldn’t be in love!!

    I am one of those that is a sucker for her:) As I said yesterday, I am not even a baby person. She is adorable and she really is happy all of the time. I would agree that she is special.
