One Hundred and Eighty One Days
Six months. It’s been six months since I gave birth to the most amazing little human being I’ve ever met. So without further ado, I give you: Enter Delilah: Part I. (That’s right. There are parts.) It’s Wednesday October 7th, 2009. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and I have my 39 week appointment with my… Read more →
The EastOver Bunny
I’m just gonna go ahead and let my inner Jewish child come out and say it: “How come all the stuff for Easter is so much cuter than all the stuff for Passover?” Because while Dee enjoyed her plush bag of Plagues, and the adorable Matzoh-Bib Grandma Margie got for her (pictured, right) the image of an infant using a… Read more →
Some like it hot. Some don’t.
Usually (despite the wee-hours-of-the-morning battles that have become a ritual in this house) bed time is fairly painless for Dee. Darkness, Uncle Alex’s lullaby’s, and nursing are her cryptonite, and she’s usually out in a matter of minutes. Occasionally, if her gums are bothering her, or she’s having a bad poo, or she’s got the gas (sorry future Dee,… Read more →

I laugh in the face of sleep.
Dearest Dee – I know it was daylight savings time and all, but last night’s encore performance of “The Girl Who Hated Sleep” was truly your best ever. From your 7:30pm sleepy-time fake-out (you really had me going there) to your 8pm roll-into-the-crib-rails-and-wail, the hits just kept on coming. By 4am, and your 27th wake-up of the evening, I was… Read more →

Tiny Dancer
[October 7th, 2009: About twelve hours before she made her appearance, Delilah did her best to get Nigel Lithgow’s attention while Scott and I watched So You Think You Can Dance. If you look closely, you can catch a quick cameo by the remnants of a recently devoured bowl of Pineapple. Oh, pregnancy.][also, this video is kind of long. sorry… Read more →
There were never such devoted sisters.
After some speculation that the picture of Eva and Dee posted below looked like it could have been a picture of Marissa and I some 28 years ago, I had no choice but to steal my baby album from my parents house. What do you think? Dead ringers? (Yes, I have pointy ears. And yes, I thank… Read more →
The biggest cousin.
Eva can’t get enough of little Dee. She gave her a bottle of breast milk, and “shhh shhh shhh’d” her until she fell asleep in her lap. In a lot of ways, Eva was my first baby love. She was the first newborn I ever snuggled with. I still remember the moment Marissa called me to tell me… Read more →
