Him: “When are you going to write a new blog post?”

Me: (Silence)

Him: “‘Cause I go to your blog to look at pictures of Alice.”

Me: (Silence)

Him: “And that same post has been there forever. It’s just Mustard Pork Chops every time I check.”

Me: “What about Facebook?”

Him: “Facebook is too distracting. I like going to your blog.”

Dear husband,

Here is the blog post you requested. I am so glad you love our daughter so much, and it thrills me that you like looking at pictures of her while you’re at work. The joy you take in her is a joy to me! Your request did not fall on deaf ears. Here’s our little one. Isn’t she great!?!?

Love,

Me

Social butterfly.

Smiling at little boys.

The morning trash can ritual.

Hey Mom! I like your trash.

Clapping for all she’s worth.

Standing!

Sure on her feet.

Maybe I don’t wanna be standing anymore . . . but how to get down?

Let’s see . . .

Ouch.

Laughing with Mama.

Caught in the act.

More clapping!

I think I’m done with pictures.

No, really, Mom. I’m done.

Okay, fine. I’ll allow myself to be distracted by this ball . . . just this once.

Expressive eyebrows.

Happy!

No, you may not look at my teeth, thank you very much.

Semi-spaced out clapping (with cheeks!).

Hi Mom!

I love our baby. How did we happen to get the best one??
