Giraffes the First

Posted on July 5, 2011 by BrassyDel

I’ve been trying to find more time throughout the day to sketch, and I started with giraffes the other day. I’ve been tring to get this whole “cute” thing down, which is not too easy. Especially since I am ridiculously out of practice. Though, if you want to see a master of it, check out Ursula Vernon, who even…

This Baby Knows How to Party: QUIETLY.

Posted on July 4, 2011 by BrassyDel

A couple weeks ago, the Hubbles and I dropped Pixie off with her Auntie and cousins and we went off to a party. In the middle of the day! All dressed up! And there was beer. Two friends of ours got married up in the mountains. Beautiful ceremony, wonderful reception, cake, and friends. And cake. We left Pixie behind because…

Happy Friday! To celebrate, here’s a picture of an adorable baby boy at twelve weeks old! With some crazy-lookin’ lady! Bonus: The Hubbles is back there, too. Well, part of him. The majority of his head, anyway. Extra Bonus: IN A SUIT.

P-shoo, p-shoo!

Posted on June 22, 2011 by BrassyDel

I have small children. I make sound effects. For everything. Most commonly, items make noises while they are put away. Putting my wallet back in my purse? P-shooo! Putting the milk back in the fridge? Buh-YOUUUUUUU! Putting a baby down? Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah! Tempting a child to eat more food? The food flies around on a fork and…

The Long and Short of It

Posted on June 21, 2011 by BrassyDel

It’s summer. It’s hot. I hate baby spit-up in my hair. Therefore: let’s herald the return of the faux! Sort of. Return of the Faux Hawk When I Feel Like Doing My Hair Properly doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, though. So usually it’s just rather short and rather much like a man’s haircut. Fortunately, the facial hair…

Baby Steps

Posted on June 20, 2011 by BrassyDel

This clip is from March or so, shortly after Pixie finally started letting go of her physical supports and toddling around on her own. Someday she’ll walk like a big girl, and she walks straighter and more balanced every day, but for now I am enjoying that silly little toddle. I’m trying to teach her to remark, “Doot, doot! I’m…

My Son ROCKS that Pink Diaper – Friday Photo

Posted on June 17, 2011 by BrassyDel

At first, I didn’t put Chappy in Pixie’s hand-me-down bright pink diaper cover. I quickly decided this was ridiculous for myriad reasons, not least of which is that lots of men these days are wearing pink. And look good doing it. Men are truly taking back pink, and not just in a bad 80’s flash back sort of way. So…

Jeggings

Posted on June 16, 2011 by BrassyDel

Have you heard of these? By now, I think even my husband knows what jeggings are, so I’m pretty sure the rest of the internet does too. Just in case you don’t, “jeggings” are jean leggings. So they’re not made out of denim, but stretchy legging/tights material, but look like jeans. They also practically look painted on, are purportedly comfortable,…

The Baby’s Crate

Posted on June 15, 2011 by BrassyDel

There’s a lot of chaos ’round here most days, so we use a playpen to prevent the squishing of newborns. See? I do occasionally put the babies down! Anyway, Pixie sleeps in the playpen when we’re out at Grandma’s, Auntie’s, the bar, a friend’s house, etc. She’s old enough that she hasn’t been sat in there otherwise for quite a…
