People, I am so sorry for all the trouble getting to my other blog thing (cleverly linked over there on the right). I have no idea what's going on, and I can get there just fine and so can lots of people, but not everybody. Unless, you all really can get there and are just telling me you can't in an effort to drive me slowly insane. In which case, good job. Anyway, I know it is annoying as all hell, but pretty pretty please with a pint of Ben & Jerry's on top keep trying and keep letting me know if you have problems because that is the only way I will know it is still going on and the only way I know to keep making myself an absolute pain in the ass of the people running the site so it gets fixed.
Anyway, since you were all so nice to try and also so nice to comment when you could get there and since I love you regardless, here is the baby kiss I promised you. We will let Chris stand in as your surrogate, ok?
Here is Mia giving Chris a little sugah:
Awww... sweet, drooly, baby nose kiss. Here's where things start to go wrong:
And here's where Chris escapes the Baby Snaggleteeth (seven of them) of Agony:
But look! Look how cute she is!
Also, here's what she learned to do yesterday. Child will never lie down in her crib again.
Now, don't you all fell better?
Hey? Can you bruise a boob? Because my boob hurts and the only thing I can figure is that it is from Mia using it to push all 23 pounds of herself onto her chubby little dinner roll feet. Also, do you remember back in the day when I never even mentioned my boobs here? Ah, memories.

Is that a little spot of blood on Chris's nose? LOL

You'll be fine until she figures out how to climb OUT of the crib. ;)
And boy does Mia have a serious attitude look in that second to last picture! Something like "if you don't get that camera out of my face...."
But still?? Adorable as always. Giggling at dinner roll feet. :)

Seriously. I've said it before, but it's TRUE.
Our husbands are identical.
Posted by HollyRhea | May 18, 2006 10:25 AM
boobs.
just thought I'd join the discussion.
I got over to your other bloggy thing just fine. I feel like I'm cheating on you with.....you...
And when she starts throwing one leg over the railing....just give it up and put the mattress on the floor.

i can get to it from work, but not from home. i just realized what the problem likely is. i bet you ten dollars that it has something to do with no "www" in front of the URL. however, i put the www in front here at work, and the link wouldn't work. i took it out, and it worked fine. i'm not home to try out my experiment, but this is my best guess. you may want to tell those folks running the site to allow BOTH "www.playgroupdropout.clubmom.com/" and "playgroupdropout.clubmom.com/". they would have to make the change in IIS or whatever's hosting their site. (and ask them about those annoying ads too! argh!)

Hey, I couldn't get there yesterday, but can now. Yay. going back now to read
Posted by ktjrdn | May 18, 2006 10:36 AM
Hey!!! I clicked the link this morning and it worked...there it was! What a treat...yes, a true treat this morning. Yeah.
Posted by Natalie | May 18, 2006 10:36 AM
I can see it now. I knew there was a reason i liked you so much. Purple is your favorite color isn't it?
Posted by statia | May 18, 2006 10:38 AM
I can get to the other blog just fine. I've already "subscribed" to it in Bloglines. I love reading 2 blogs from you. Double the fish-fix!
Posted by Jodi | May 18, 2006 10:42 AM
Mia is so beautiful! You can absolutely never post too many pictures of her!
The link works fine today, by the way. I'm going over to read it!
Posted by Melissa | May 18, 2006 10:47 AM
Your friendly neighborhood stalker here to say that last picture is so adorable I want to puke!
Posted by RockStar Mommy | May 18, 2006 10:51 AM
Got there - hooray!
Sorry to hear about your boob...
Posted by morethanamom | May 18, 2006 10:56 AM
Got to the other blog just fine from work, yesterday and today. No go from home... here I use XP, home Mozilla. Don't know if it matters.
She is so cute! I love the sleepy face and sleepy hair.
That'll teach Chris to keep his nose out of her mouth. Those little razor sharp teeth sure do hurt!
Posted by Karen | May 18, 2006 11:50 AM
Oooh, I'd be thanking my lucky stars that she bit daddy's nose and not my boob! Oh, and yeah, it's absolutely possible to bruise a boob--even if you don't see any discoloration on the skin.
Posted by Jaycie | May 18, 2006 12:17 PM
How do they do that? Go from looking like a baby one week to a toddler the next? Make her stop!
Beth, I love your blog over at ClubMom (your writing is fabeaux...that's French or something for really, really good). The only problem I had was when I went to plug the RSS feed into my Google homepage it said it didn't recognize the page as having a feed. I'll try again today and if I have more trouble I will...throw the whole damned machine down the stairs here at work.

You can totally bruise boobs. And it hurts.
Posted by Heather | May 18, 2006 12:37 PM
I just tried to get to the site and it came up! :) yay! now i just need to get a break at work so i can read! yay! heh. cute mia-ness. she's so cute. :) good luck w/ the standing thing. i hear it's fun. ;)
Posted by Manda | May 18, 2006 12:41 PM
I just love those pictures. Espcially the crawling one. She has the death stare, I love it. DOn't worry, I'll keep trying the link.
Posted by Melissa | May 18, 2006 12:53 PM
First, I have no insight into the boob thing. All I can say is, I have 'em and that's about all. I have bruised mine in the past, after being pelted with a stray softball. So, perhaps.
The standing up in the crib thing has overtaken Max's spare time as well, and the kid will NOT fall asleep there ever. Not EVER. He thinks it's his own, personal jungle gym. Drives Momma Cuhrazy.
Wait until she starts jumping on the mattress. Hoooooweeee. That's a joy.
Posted by Sherry | May 18, 2006 1:00 PM
I can get there from the link today! And it's formatted correctly, and everything!! Hurrah!
And yeah, I've totally had boob bruises from my little angel's feet, and elbows, and knees...
She looks so proud of herself standing there pulled up!
Posted by Kate the Shrew | May 18, 2006 1:31 PM
Did she actually puncture his nose? Thos look like bite marks! Looks like she'll be walking soon with how well she's standing in her crib!
Posted by Sabrina | May 18, 2006 1:57 PM
Yesterday, the link(s) didn't work. Today? Just fine. Going there to read now!
Posted by Jen | May 18, 2006 2:18 PM
The picture of her in the cherry outfit is too cute! She looks a little mad though...haha
Watch out for climbing out of the crib next! :)
Posted by Dana | May 18, 2006 2:27 PM
Yup, seems to be working. I do find it funny that your blog has your full name but your profile only uses your last initial, would that be pseudo-anonymity?
Posted by TechDad | May 18, 2006 2:58 PM
oh she is such a big girl...she will soon be jumping in the crib. big fun!
Posted by linda | May 18, 2006 3:08 PM
Vampire baby! Now that she has had a taste of blood, things will never be the same (say outloud in an ominous voice)
Posted by Dangerous | May 18, 2006 3:20 PM
Oh look how tall she is!!!
Okay, here is a true story. Honest!
One day when Amanda was 4 months old (yep 4 months old, Honest!), I heard these noises coming from the nursery. I ran in and there she was standing in her crib!!! I went and grabbed the camera cause no one was going to believe that. I snapped the pictures and so I have proof.
Three months later she was walking everywhere. The kid was just born old!
I was worried about this and the doctor told me not to worry too much but to get ready cause I was gonna be busy! He sure was right.
She's almost 30 now and has never once slowed down!

Mia is blowing me away standing up in her crib. I really like that picture of her, but be assured that I don't support this standing-up-in-the-crib nonsense.
Posted by samantha | May 18, 2006 3:44 PM
I have your new blog on bloglines because I have a terrible memory. It works fine.
We threatened to put chicken wire over my son's crib (the one with the new baby). Probably wouldn't have worked. He climbed out of everything.
Revenge is a dish best served cold. I can hardly wait.
Posted by ann adams | May 18, 2006 3:52 PM
Link didn't work yesterday but works now - woohoo.
Just thought I'd chime in and quit lurking already.
Posted by Rengirl | May 18, 2006 4:05 PM
Some of my favorite memories are from my little guy making up in the morning, babbling away, and jumping up and down in his crib.
Posted by Mamacita Tina | May 18, 2006 4:32 PM
I did have trouble getting there before. But it worked yesterday. Forgot to leave a comment though. Do you ever feel overwhelmed at the number of comments you receive? My first time commenting, about your drawings, there were already tons of comments. I hesitated to even reply but I did and you replied. That was so awesome. So now when I see a lot of comments on a blog I just go ahead and leave one. I am waiting impatiently for my new domain name to be ready. It has been a few weeks so far. Then I will be back to using WordPress. ttyl.
Posted by Dawn Isaac | May 18, 2006 6:47 PM
I can now get to the other blog, too! Woo!
BTW - Mia is scrumpdillyicious!
Posted by Shelly | May 18, 2006 8:21 PM
I have a pic of my oldest standing up in his crib like this at about 18 months, and it is my fave baby pic ever. CUTE!
Posted by Anne Glamore | May 18, 2006 9:05 PM
Oh! Those gooey, sloppy baby nose kisses are the best! But they do hurt sometimes, don't they!
Posted by Haley-O | May 18, 2006 9:33 PM
Is that a toothmark on Chris' nose? Awesome! And if that's not a cheap pose, that is the BEST picture of him I've yet seen.
