My very newest best friend

This little darling is one month old. I get to spend all my mornings with her

after her big sister Mooshi goes to school. 

Sometimes, we are napping buddies.

We both feel real good about naps.

Things she is good at:

Lying on her tummy

Burping

Staring

Collecting nicknames (Lulu, Cheeks, Cutie pootie, Girlie ...)

Making friends

Smelling good

Wearing blue

Also, it hasn't snowed once since the day she was born.

Babies are one of the top three best kinds of friends to have.

GetOut

                                     Watched this a bunch of times. I still think it's awesome.

The movie.

Jared and I went to see it on Sunday (Mother's Day? What a coincidence ...) and I'm a fan. The concept is pretty simple: film four babies in four different countries through their first year of life. And I think it was executed really well. The photography is beautiful and stands out in the absence of plot or narration. Footage of Mongolia and Namibia, in particular, captures some really beautiful landscapes. More intimate shots of the babies by themselves or with others are framed and lit beautifully without feeling contrived. Actually, that was one of the things that I enjoyed the most about the film - how it largely manages to avoid feeling forced and artificial.

Oh. Also, the babies. 

I really loved the babies. 

Now for an example of the kind of post-movie dialogue you might engage in:

"Wow. So how does your uterus feel?"

"Fertile."

I can't even tell you how much I want a baby right now. Really I can't.

Because it's gross.
