Little Chappy

Posted on April 7, 2011 by BrassyDel

When Pixie was born, my water broke before labor got motivated, which meant there wasn’t any question about whether or not we had to go to the hospital. When your water breaks, that’s the sac that’s keeping your little one protected from all of the nasties in the outside world so Baby’s risk of infection if not delivered within 24…

Friday Photo: Flamingos and Their Tiny Observer

Posted on February 11, 2011 by BrassyDel

I love the little vignette these photos tell, and I don’t think I can add much else to it. Except, maybe, that I can’t wait to take her back to the zoo. She knows so many animal sounds and names now that I’m sure it’ll be a very exciting trip.

Friday Photo: Kitties are Delicious

Posted on February 4, 2011 by BrassyDel

Pixie, probably contemplating hunting down Kitten or Willis (by the tail). Om nom nom! If a plush kitty is so delicious, just think about those ones that move around on their own and make all those purring and meowing sounds!

Friday Photo: Pixie at the Zoo Gift Shop

Posted on January 28, 2011 by BrassyDel

Is there a cuter baby ever? NO, NO THERE IS NOT. I took this photo back in May at the Denver Zoo in one of the small satelite gift shops. She did not wind up bringing either of those plushies home, but she certainly got other toys at the big gift shop before we left (and a book!).

Friday Photo: Christmas Dress

Posted on January 14, 2011 by BrassyDel

If you know me offline, I’m sure you’ve already heard that when I was little, I had a dress just like this one. I loved that dress. It was purple, and velvety, and I remember being told I couldn’t wear it anymore because it was too small, and as a small child I reasoned that since I could clearly fit…

Photo Fun: Pixie loves Ritz

Posted on December 31, 2010 by BrassyDel

Little Pixie loves Ritz crackers! She hasn’t had them in awhile since I’m not exactly impressed with their ingredient list. Sigh. This photo set is from June 2010. Edited and collaged together via Picnik.com.

Photo Fun: Pixie’s BIG Christmas Present

Posted on December 24, 2010 by BrassyDel

Since it doesn’t fit under the tree, Pixie got her BIG Christmas gift a few days early. We got this train table used off of Craigslist for an excellent price. Pixie seems to really enjoy having a table that is just her size, though she seems to think of it as a really big chair sometimes as well. The table…

Gallery Show Day

Posted on December 15, 2010 by BrassyDel

Last Saturday I had a small open studio gallery sale at my house here in lovely Colorado. The weather was quite cooperative, the barkingest dog that ever did bark was off at the vet for his semi-annual poking and prodding, and we had gourmet cookies courtesy of local baker Diane from Nibbles and Noshes. On the down side, I had…

Photo Fun: Red-Crowned Mangabey

Posted on November 20, 2010 by BrassyDel

Back in May we took Pixie to the Denver Zoo for her first birthday. Here she is sitting on a park fence outside of the Red-Crowned Mangabey habitat. I absolutely love this picture and her expression. It just screams, “Oh my god, he’s right behind me, isn’t he?” doesn’t it?

Kiss My Booties, Bedtime!

Posted on November 18, 2010 by BrassyDel

As serious an issue as toddler tantrums are, they’re also hilarious. I think it’s important to keep your cool when dealing with a tantrum, and keeping earplugs a sense of humor about it really helps me with that. At 17 months old, Pixie is fully into experimenting with the social tactic of tantruming and has been working on her technique….
