Wash interviews Mal!

Well, actually Alan Tudyk interviews Nathan Fillion. :D (And if you don't know who the heck I'm talking about, YOU NEED TO WATCH FIREFLY!!! I have the DVDs. Call me.)

Want to see my new teeth?!

Click on the picture of Janelle, then look at All Sizes >> Original Size, and you can see her two front-bottom teeth!

She's my Sesame Street baby!

Here's a preview of the next season of Sesame Street. I can't wait til Janelle's old enough to really enjoy it. Right now we watch a few minutes every once in a while of our baby Sesame Street dvds. When she's old enough, this'll be her first tv show she'll watch.

Banksy's identity revealed??

I love it!!! A true story about a famously anonymous street artist who creates artwork (or graffiti, depending on who you talk to) with a social msg. Hunted by police worldwide, Banksy has managed to keep his identity a secret... until now. Britain's The Mail has a (possible) scook on Banksy's true identity (...maybe). Here are some links for ya:

We've started solids!

On Sunday, July 13, Janelle had her first bit of solid foods -- baby oatmeal. We, of course, caught a video of the event:

And a few snapshots from yesterday:





Lessons Learned:

• Feed baby when she's naked (nothing but a diaper). If not, *definitely* put a bib on her.
  
• Stick with the regular rubber-covered spoons. Pass on the fancy colorful long-handled spoons. The handles are heavy, so they fall out of the bowl, and they're too distracting.
  
• Pretend to eat along with her -- this will help her figure out what's going on.
  
• Hold her hand while feeding her -- that way she doesn't smack the spoon away while trying to grab it.

It was *great* though! And Janelle was thrilled, I'm sure, to be eating like Mommy and Daddy. :D

It's a conspiracy against Mexicans!

• First it was tomatoes that had salmonella. Ok. Everyone eats tomatoes.

• Then yesterday they announced they're investigating jalapenos b/c of strong suspicion that they have salmonella as well. Eyebrows were raised.

• And this morning, they announce that now cilantro is suspected to have salmonella!

If tomorrow they announce that avocados have salmonella, it'll be official ....

It's a conspiracy against Mexicans!! (As a Mexican, myself, I'm terrified!) Well... and against Mexican restaurants and people in general living in southwestern states.

And interestingly, reports are finding that the highest number of outbreaks of salmonella are happening in Texas and New Mexico. ... YA THINK?!?!

(I kid you not. All of this has been reported this morning and yesterday on NPR!)

Another declaration

And as your President, I promise to give every baby their own play gym, and there will be mandatory poop breaks for all!
