My last View from the Hilltop Post
Submitted by jessica on February 5, 2009 - 3:31pm
After months of procrastination, I am finally ready to invite you to the new website: Toast and Cereal. The new site will still have all the Jess you want, but with some added Joe, too. And of course, more Viola than the recommended daily allowance. This will be my last post here, so see you over there!

My world of spit up

Since my day and my clothes are both full of spit up, I offer these thoughts on the subject:

One or both of the sphincter muscles in her esophagus is immature, so lots of her meals come back up to greet us. Joe gets the gold medal for receiving a load inside his sweatshirt and in his slipper, which he subsequently stepped into, both in one night.

I promise not to do this every time I post photos, but, since people are still getting used to the new site...check out the new album under photos in the top navigation bar (or click here) for some Viola cuteness!

We just finished making a mobile from the kit given to us by Matt and Carmen before Viola was born. As instructed, we drew pictures on little circles of paper and then hung them from a wire frame. We had no idea what a hit it would be. It's like baby crack.
I drew Obama on one of the circles. Joe drew
