EXTRA! EXTRA! Baby Stays Home with Daddy!!

Many months ago, Lindsay decided she wanted her mommy to become a veterinarian, so she sent her to school to learn to care for puppy dogs and kitty cats. Lindsay quickly realized this meant that she would have to spend almost everyday in daycare because her mommy was in school all day, and her daddy was at work all day. Suddenly a wonderful idea came to Lindsay. She would get her daddy to quit his job so she could stay home with him. Both Mommy and Daddy thought this was an excellent idea. The next day Daddy quit his job. Lindsay and her daddy had great times. She took him to play-groups at Happy Bambino. She took him for walks on the bike paths. She even taught him to sing and dance to all her favorite songs. One day a local reporter called and asked if she could interview Lindsay and her daddy. She said she was doing story on stay-at-home daughters and their daddies. Lindsay put on her favorite outfit and invited the reporter over to her house. Lindsay told the reporter of all the great and fun things she and her daddy did together. The reporter told Lindsay that she was a unique little girl because she stays at home with her daddy. Lindsay told the reporter. "It's a tough job, but I wouldn't trade it for anything!!...well, maybe for Mommy."

Can anyone recommend a good dental plan??

8 teeth!!!! What the heck? Clearly, Lindsay is a genius.

Night Crawler


Lindsay's Mommy and Daddy waited for her to be able to crawl. Everyday they all played on the floor and practiced. And everyday, no crawling. But Lindsay had a secret. She would crawl at night when nobody was watching. At bedtime, she would go to sleep with Mommy and Daddy in the family bed, As soon as everyone else was asleep, she would crawl all over. She would crawl to the kitchen to see her dog ,Jones. She would crawl to the living room to see her cat ,Vinny. On more adventurous nights, Lindsay would crawl to a farm to visit the cows that say, "Moo!!" Sometimes she would crawl to the forest and visit the bears and bunnies. Sometimes she would crawl as far as Africa and visit the with the lions, elephants and giraffes. One night she crawled to the jungle. She found a big group of monkeys. The monkeys were sad because they wanted to dance but they had no music. Lindsay got out her drum and began to play. The monkeys laughed and danced and everyone was happy.
Finally. one day Mommy and Daddy and Lindsay were playing on the floor and Lindsay crawled. Mommy and Daddy were so excited they called everyone they knew and yelled, "Lindsay just crawled for the first time!!" Mommy and Daddy didn't even notice the grin on Lindsay's face.

The Adventures of Lindsay the Lumberjack

Lindsay's adventures began at 2:00 am. The evil sleep monster came to put Lindsay to sleep. They fought and fought. Onlookers said the battle seemed to last an eternity. Alas, Lindsay succumbed to the sleep monster's drowsy powers. At 6am Lindsay awoke from the sleep monster's spell and vowed not to let him defeat her again...at least for a couple more hours.
Lindsay was famished. Not any food would cure the hunger though. Not peas, not carrots, nor rice cereal, nor oatmeal. No, not even bananas. Nothing, it seemed, was good enough. Finally Lindsay found what she was wanting... Sweet, sweet mama's milk.
Full from her breakfast, Lindsay began to drift to sleep. Suddenly, she jolted awake, remembering she had a previous engagement -- wood chopping at Aunt Carol's. Lindsay and dad began packing - toys, diapers, more toys. They were ready to go. But where was mom? Still in the shower. The minutes ticked by. Lindsay and dad packed the car and loaded Dublyn. Still no mom... she was packing a second diaper bag. Then her own bag. Then writing a thank you note! And sipping coffee! Dad and Lindsay waited and waited, and finally, mom came rushing to the car.
When they arrived at Carol's house in the middle of the woods, Lindsay cheered! "It's wood chopping day!!!!" Lindsay immediately went to work. First, she operated the log splitter with Dad. Using brute strength, she lifted the heavy logs on to the splitter. Everyone agreed that had it not been for Lindsay, the job could not have been accomplished.
Next, Lindsay helped Mom stack all of the split logs into nice neat piles by the house. Mostly Mom sat and chatted with Jayne while Lindsay did all the work.
Once all the wood was chopped, stacked into neat piles, and covered with a tarp, Lindsay prepared lunch for everyone. Chili and cheesecake!!! Aunt Sara showed up just in time to eat!
Soon after the meal, it was time to return home. Aunt Carol thanked Lindsay for all her hard work. Lindsay hugged the chocolates, and Brisco kissed her "good bye." Dublyn, Dad, and Lindsay loaded the car, while mom finished her last piece of cheesecake. Then they were off!
When they got home Lindsay celebrated her big day with a mama's milk cocktail. She overindulged, spit up all over dad, pooped her pants, then called it a night.

Hats




Lindsay is bonkers for hats. As our very nice Texan neighbor once said, "The reason to have kids is so you can dress them in funny hats."
Lindsay is often seen galavanting around town (with her cohort Sae Hana) wearing the most outrageous hats. She has fishy fleecy hats (double pom-poms), flowery denim hats, pink knotty hats, and festive floppy hats. Sae does not want the dreaded hat head, so she goes sans hat.
Lindsay has expressed great interest in a Cubs hat, but to date her dad has not come through on that request.

Two Teeth

Lindsay officially has 2 teeth!!!
