Two Texas videos: First Karen's Fort Worth kitchen and sloppy seconds.

Then Kaia doing her doggy panting at the Whites in Dallas.

reading

Kaia "reading" in her playroom, tapping her belly for a while, and reading again.

corny

She's a good eater!

eegads!

So we're still alive and have been horribly neglecting this here Blog. We got all distracted by moving to Sleepy Hollow and things haven't been the same: they're amazing! Going forward, this site will be a depository for our videos. Photos will be housed on our Madsen White room at Snapfish.com. Here's a few old Whipple ones for good measure. Sorry for the sideways one! More to come.

and in baby news...

No news per se, but I couldn't let this go without a few new pictures...one in my favorite "Rat City Rollergirls" onesie. A real city baby we have here.

the little big red book

In non-baby news - yes, there is such a thing! - a piece of my writing is in this anthology that's getting great press and even hit (the extended version) of the NYTimes bestseller list one week. MY LITTLE RED BOOK is a collection of essays from women of all walks of life on getting their first period compiled by a very precocious teenager. All the proceeds go to women's charities worldwide; so not only will this book be a welcome gift to some coming-of-age girl you might know, but it really will make a difference on a grander scale. It's not just a book, it's a movement!

mamamamamamamamama

Unintentional, but I'll take it: Kaia says "mama" among other random syllables! She's smiling, laughing, sitting up (almost), attempting to crawl, playing the drums, growing a little more headfuzz and two pounds in two weeks... We're finally getting the sense that she likes us. And we're finally updating with a few new videos to prove it.
