Okay, I've been trying to steer clear of the meme marathon, but Krystal over at Mommy's Escape twisted my arm (and pulled my hair) (she's a fiesty latina!) and out of love (and a little fear), I will do this one.
But I'm not passing it on! Susan, this does not break my end of the bargain! I am not tagging anyone else and I am beseeching all of my blogging buddies to stop the insanity!!!! (Deep breath)
Oy!
This is my fourth post today, and my last, because I'm too busy reading Dad Gone Mad Danny Evan's twitters about the debate, and the guy is hysterical.
Krystal tagged me with the instructions to look in the sixth folder of my picture file and pull the sixth picture and then explain what's happening.
All right, hold on. Let me take a look:
Um, yeah. Here I am, still swollen from giving birth a week earlier, holding a sleeping Sprite, only a week old at the time. John snapped this picture while I was snarking on something or another. Most likely the news, since the television is in the general direction of where my eyes are focused. See the bags under my eyes? Happy bags! And the paleness of my skin? Happy paleness! And the matted down, oily hair? Happy- I know, it lost the funny after the bags..
See that pink thing under her shirt? No? Hold on...
Much better. Those toes provided some great late night snacking for much of her first year. She still likes to huddle close, all of her limbs brought into the middle, when she's being held or falling asleep.
Yes, she was a glow worm in her first few weeks. We were fighting the Jaundice and just starting to kick it's yellow keister when this photo was taken.
All right, this post made me walk down Memory Lane. I'm going to go stalk my daughter for a few minutes now.
But I am asking, no begging, no BESEECHING!!!, stop the meme madness! Practice what you publish! Practice safe posts! Only you can prevent forest fires! (...And we're done.)
This meme madness is killing me. And you DO suffer from premature eblogulation, FOUR posts in one day? That's the textbook definition right there.
Sprite's baby feet are totally cute and snackable. I think I'll eat Elliot's when she gets up in the morning.

I know, I know... I got caught up in the meme and even spread the virus myself. ;)
I'm glad you responded to this one, though, because Sprite's toes are too sweet. So snackable and tiny!

OH- here is what I came for (besides bloggy goodness) until I was distracted by Sprite's feet... SPIN!

Extremely munchable toes!
I'm not going to spread the madness, but I did immediately run over to my picture folder to discover that my 6/6 picture is of a young and very fat Lilli in her bumbo. And its an unedited picture with scary red eye happening. So I'm glad I'm not spreading anything!

OMG! You are beautiful without makeup and "swollen" from birth. You suck, but not really.
Also, I laughed my a** off at you on twitter today. Let me rephrase...I laughed my a** of WITH you today. I loved the swearing in symbols post the best.

You see, wasn't this one worth it? She is way too cutie there and those toes and the little clothes and the little face!!!....awww..I cannot wait for Nov. 14th now!!!

Aw, but I wouldn't have gotten to see newbie Sprite if not for the meme!! She's sooooo sweet!
Both of my babies suffered from the jaundice too! We brought Logan home with a little tanning bed, which he refused to lay on. Difficult even then!

The way I heard it it was four on the four. I'm going to try it as this way instead because the four on four stunk for me.
Oh wait.
I mean....I'm going to NOT do it because I want to stop the madness.
Ahem.
