my first try...

...at writing in this blog with a squirming baby in one hand.

Well gosh, how about a new pic first?



Aria made it through Halloween with all the humility she could muster after we crammed her into a duck suit. Too young for the candy, too out of it to appreciate all the attention - basically, she was an unhappy duck. Mercifully, we didn't make her stay in the duck outfit for too long. But boy was she cute in it. (Thanks to our friend Holly for the costume.)

Aria also made it alive through her first party. I even managed to enjoy a beer while still keeping her body intact. I think she actually liked the party noise. She slept when the crowd was thickest.

OK, time to change a diaper and deal with the squirming one... more later, I hope.
