For the first time ever, we're both writing this blog together - stream of consciousness style:
Kim: We could talk about all of the new food she is eating.
Sam: Oh yeah, so far it's what? Peaches, carrots, apples...
Kim: Peas, Sweet potatoes
Sam: How do you spell potatoes? Ever since Dan Quayle messed it up I get self conscious.
Kim: Dan Quayle's nephew sold us our car, he's a nice guy.
Sam: Oh, bananas too. And still some rice cereal. Those two are the archenemies of her butt.
Kim: Ok, I don't know that we have to talk about all that.
Sam: You're right. Let's just say she sometimes has difficulty "going" and it makes us sad to hear her cry. It sucks that it's the first thing we can't really fix or help her with.
Kim: But the good thing about her crying is that she lets us know when she's going, so maybe we can put her on the little potty and have her potty trained by the time she's one...
Sam: Kim is always the optimist in our family. We should talk about other things now. Like how great we have been at updating our picture and video sites lately. Everyone should go look at them if you haven't yet. We're a lot better with that than we are at blogging.
Kim: I didn't think that it was possible, but she just keeps getting cuter. And now she has two teeth so we can't let her bite our fingers like we used to...owie.
Sam: The level of her cuteness is really too much to handle. It's hard not to smother her with kisses while holding her. And when other people talk about other children being cute, I want to say "Yes, they are cute. But ours is empirically and scientifically the cutest baby ever...in the world." We don't know how it happened; we both think of ourselves as average - but somehow we have created superbaby.
Kim: Hunny, you don't have to be so dramatic. But I do worry about the next child. How will they ever compare to her greatness? Are they doomed? But then again, I was worried that Damien Rice could never create music as beautiful as his first album, yet he did. So maybe we can too.
Sam: Who's being dramatic now? It's a good point though. I have a few rebuttals, then we will move on. First, it's entirely possible that Ada becomes less attractive with age; it happens pretty often. Secondly, if later Myrick children are less attractive, they can excel at other things besides being really really good looking. And finally,...well I forgot my last point. But we should wrap this up. It's getting to be pretty long and I think it's going to scare a lot of people.
Kim: Though you can't tell it from this blog, we really aren't such superficial people. We do care about things other than looks...look at us. Right now I'm wearing what I wore yesterday...and the day before that. Anyway, when Ada gets older, we know we won't be able to tell her so often that she's beautiful cause it will make her self-conscious and materialistic. We'll tell her how great she is at the piano and how nice she is to everyone. We look forward to seeing who she grows up to be.
Sam: Of course. So in conclusion, there are new pics, new videos, Ada eats things, sometimes poops, has some teeth and we think she is beautiful. Am I forgetting anything?
Kim: Ada and Nolan are getting along great now. They love each other! You can see the video of the two of them at the bottom of this blog. And lastly we are going to dedicate Ada on Easter. Come to Mosaic that night if you can make it. We will be such proud parents.
Sam: Thanks for reading and indulging our boredom while we are rained in and Ada is napping. We love you all and hope to see you soon.
Sam and Kim, over and out.
