Because it's been a while.

Easter with a girl who has tattooed eyebrows, no joke.


I think this is my new favorite picture of her.


First time feeding herself 100% independently.


Mmm Spicy...


Tori and her Dad celebrating their first Easter together.


Things have been all right. I've been filling my days up with work-outs, new playtime activities and writing a screenplay... who knows how far the screenplay will go, but it makes me feel somewhat productive. Working-out more is giving me motivation enough to feel like a supermom on crack. Now instead of picking and choosing, the house is clean, dinner's ready, the baby's taken care of, laundry is done, bills are done... Or maybe I'm just finally getting in the swing of things after a long adjustment to becoming a parent?
Tori's good. Smartest baby I've ever met. I've already made use of the flashcards I bought her before she was born...
But I still remember that inside, she's just a normal kid. I'm not the kind of person who gets mad because she spits her carrots in my face or won't crawl on the floor because... well, you should take a look at the holes in the knees of most of my jeans. I've learned to have fun with her.
She and I were grocery shopping earlier, and every aisle we walked down, she made an obnoxious 'mmm' sound. It was so funny I couldn't control my laughter, and it dawned on me that she's so much more than just my kid.
She's the joy of my life, she's the reason there's a twinkle of happiness in my eye.
