Conversations With Daddy

Every night before bed, we call Daddy in Manhattan and say goodnight (thank god these nights are coming to and end soon....this makes the immigration wait we went through seem like nothing!) and Gidget gets to listen to Daddy talk to her and sometimes she gurgles back. Gareth and I talk between 3-5 times a day normally, but the night time calls are usually when he and Gidget chat with one another.

Last night I had the presence of mind to have my camera sitting right next to me and snapped some pictures. They almost turned out too funny. And they make her seem so much bigger than she really is.

Had I known THEN that she was plotting with Daddy to keep me up all night long (and there was crap on television...NBA games and then stupid movies!) I'd have nipped that right in the bud!

Gidget telling Daddy all about her day, watching mommy bake cookies, snuggling with auntie Amanda, and then snoozing with mommy....



"...Oh and Daddy, you'll never believe what mommy and auntie Amanda were saying about all those nice, fancy, dressed up people on the Golden Globes....oh and Daddy, what's a "do-able list" and how come mommy and auntie Amanda have them?"

Seeing as how Gidget is sleeping, I guess I'd better catch a bit of a nap whilst I can. She was up pretty much all night long and I think at one point completely emptied the right boob, then had the audacity to look at me like an exasperated Mom who has just been told by her 5 year old, 10 miles into a road trip that she has to pee, and who was told before they left the house to go to the bathroom....."Ma....why didn't you fill 'er up before hand!" I swear, I already make enough milk to supply a small third world country (you should see the 'milk stores' in our freezer)! If Gidget keeps up like this I'm going to give her another nick-name.......MOOSE!
