Big Mouth Strikes Again, now available in surround sound

Accidents with baby monitors happen, and apparently more than once. Seems that in my sleep deprived state I have a tendency to forget to shut the baby monitor off in our bedroom. The baby monitor then works as a P.A. system announcing our conversations about dirty diapers throughout the back courtyard.  Welcome to the neighborhood.

Daddy Day Care

Looks to me that Colin has things well under control.  So much so, that perhaps he might want to consider expanding the home office to include day care services.  What do you think?  I’d suggest he has room for up to 3 more (2 in side carriers and 1 on his back). 

Now accepting applications.

"Hello" from the new cast members of The OC

Here are some of Roxanna’s best friends hanging out in the O.C.

 

Looking good ladies & li’l gentlemen!  Looking good!  Tell Seth we say “hi”.

Cutest baby ever!

Okay, so my opinion might be a little bit biased and some of you mothers out there might disagree. However, when you see this picture I’m sure you’ll understand what I mean.  Talk about adorable!

 

so cute

 

 

Okay, so it’s a picture of me.  But hey, I wasn’t runner-up Baby Burlington Mall for nothing. And here’s a picture of Roxanna – celebrating her 1 week old birthday today!

And the winner is…

Special thanks to everyone who participated, inspired us and had some fun on our website with the Name the Baby Contest.  Seems that while everyone was distracted with boy names and predictions, we ended up going out on our own and coming up with “Roxanna” for a girl. 

 

Runner-up babysitter prizes to be distributed at random. 

 

Blogger’s Note:  Expect the pace of blog entries to slow down, but please do continue to check in on our site every so often to see what’s new.  I’m sure we’ll have it overloaded with baby photos in no time – yes, we are going to be those people.

Announcing Roxanna Reid

I’m happy to devote my first (and probably last for a while) blog entry to our daughter Roxanna Josephine Reid, who was born by caesarean section in Kirkland, Washington on my birthday, August 31, 2006. She is a beautiful and healthy 7lb 14oz baby girl with a quick wit and a charming personality.

So that’s it for the Name Our Baby Contest. We ended up combining the entries to make up a name using most of the proposed letters, so everyone’s a winner! We’ll start awarding prizes (the opportunity to babysit Roxanna) once we’re ready for a night out on the town.
