Baby Fever

Did I mention Alexandra turned eight yesterday?

Today, I uploaded a bunch of photos and skipped around friends' and family's photos as well. End result: I'm baby crazy again. Okay, yes, I know - I tend to always be baby crazy. But I digress...

I was thinking about it and at first figured it's a spring thing - always wanting another baby in the spring. Then I thought about it some more. Is it because Alex gets a year older each spring?
Maybe it's because people with babies who have hidden from the cold all winter, bring them out in the spring?
Maybe I'm over analyzing this way too much.

Whatever the reason, if you have a baby and are in the local area, I highly recommend you take advantage of my baby mushiness - Call me crazy, but I'm a willing and happy free babysitter.

Alex is all about the babies now too - making faces and playing with them.
Thank you Auntie Bita and Shahin for that.

Okay - done baby rambling. I promise I'll start posting more cohesive blogs soon...

Chronic aging...

Today my baby turns eight. Oh - and I'm eternally uncool for referring to her as such.

I turned to her in the car this morning, as we drove to her school, and asked her (with obvious horror in my voice)..

wait. if you're eight today... does that mean that I'm no longer 24??

The delighted little gleam in her eyes. Yes mom, you're your normal age again.

So what is that then? Old??
I am afraid the answer is yes. My normal age is "old."

just watch... I'll end up at Karma, getting another tat today, after that little self esteem dunker...
