Even More Video

While I was away the ladies finally realized they like at least 2 of the 200 toys we have for them. Check out Riley's eyes in the second video. Riley had been lagging in the focusing on/caring about stuff competition. Now she seems to be into this green thing.

Halloween?


Being the proactive parents we are, we will be going to the store to buy the ladies Halloween costumes tonight.  I open up the blog to suggestions.

Got a Little Captain in You?


We managed to make it out to our first baby-friendly social event last Friday. Our neighbors had an engagement party. We decided to take the ladies out for a few errands prior to the event. We were hoping all the driving around in their car seats would help them fall deep asleep. Riley was awake for most of the errands but fell asleep on the way home. Sanna was asleep for most the errands but woke up as soon as we got to the party. While Riley graciously decided to sleep through the wild party, Sanna decided to have her loudest screaming fit ever. Since then, she has had about one a day. Historically, Sanna was our calm, quiet baby. Theories range from teething (we think we see something popping through in one spot) to seperation anxiety. Sanna started freaking out when a new person was holding her. I have been on business travel all week and Grandma Nancy has been causing the freakouts. The internets tell us that this can start to happen around this time. I will be home tonight to solve all this baby drama. For all of you that planned to visit us, noone is allowed to hold our babies but us anymore. Our eardrums cant take the pain. For your amusement, I offer this photo I took on my camera of Eric doing his best Captain Morgan impression.

Important Notification

I want to comment that they previous post is by no means an endorsement of the Obama campaign.   Verbal Diarhhea is a politically neutral website that welcomes all.  If there had been a McCain rally downtown we would have gone as well.  We are merely political voyeurs and Sanna wanted to be a part of the fun.  Please dont stop reading the blog to the perception that we are now part of the liberal media.

High School Girls Freaking Love Obama





So, I got an email yesterday saying there was an Obama event downtown. Now that we live downtown, I thought it might be interesting to go. Riley had an appt with with craniosacral therapist, so Sanna and I decided to check it out. The email I got said doors opened at 830 and the event was 9-11. I thought that was odd since it was outdoors, but whatever. Sanna and I got there at 9 and there was a huge line of people waiting to go through security and get in. Sanna got hungry at about 915, so I fed her in the baby bjorn as we made our way towards security. After we finally got in, we were actually really close. That is probably due to the fact that the event didnt START until 11. I was a little pissed and had no more bottles. Luckily, Sanna is an angel. She finished her bottle around 1030 and took her pacifier around 11. Despite the high school girls screaming like N'Sync was about to come on, she slept. Having heard the talking points many a time, I really just wanted to take some pictures and experience the event. At 12, Obama went on. I took a few pics and Sanna started to freak out. We were very fortunate to find a path out as it was barricaded all around the park. If I hadnt found this gap we would have had to make our way through 25000 people across about 100yds of park. So, our day consisted of 3 hours of waiting and 2 minutes of Obama.

We left the House.....


With the family in town last weekend, we decided to go on a crazy adventure.  We took the ladies hiking in Eagle Creek Park with the Iannucci's and some dogs we found roaming around.    Despite Laurin's lack of coordination, we decided to strap a baby to her chest and set her on a path through the winding trails.   No babies were harmed in the execution of this adventure.   There was minimal puking and Riley stayed awake for most of the event.

From the Cradle to the Grave.....


Here we see three generations of lovely ladies.   In an effort to get the great grandparents safely from Kalamazoo, MI to Largo, FL, several members of the family undertook the most complicated feat of transportation.  The result was this picture.  It would have been even better if Katie wasnt so selfishly leaving tonight.  We could have had four generations tomorrow.   Patti flew in from Tampa to spend some time with the ladies.  Katie popped in from Purdue for the evening.  Nancy came down a day early for some QT.   Tomorrow, Grandpa Bill will be driving the GGPs from Kalamazoo to Indianapolis.  After a short stay, Patti will drive them the rest of the way back to their shared home state of Florida.  Grandma Nancy will then drive home with Grandpa Bill sometime this weekend.   Our ladies managed to surpass their previous level of cute in the series of pictures that took place today. Try not to pee your pants from the visual assault of cuteness.
