Big S, Little S, Sick Sick Sick.

Little K's immune system has had its hands full as of late as she has been battling a cold for the past couple of days. She has become very adept at dodging my attempts to use the nasal aspirator with her and I can tell she has better things to do than sit there patiently while I wipe the snot off her face (she'd rather be playing, thank you very much). The only time she will sit relatively still for is when I am putting vaseline under her nostrils to help alleviate any irritation under there. Smart girl.

This is her first 'real' cold, so it's a rite of passage of sorts for both her and us. Sucks to see her sick, but I know it's good for her in the long run and her immunity system will be stronger for it.

a little haiku from me to you

Today K turns six
Months not years oh me oh my
Time is flying by

Happy six months, Little One. :)

:P

K figured out how to stick out her tongue today.
She found it amusing all morning.
I find her amusing all the time.
She is the best.

first mother's day

I am so blessed to be the mother of my sweet little girl. :)
Little K, Mommy loves you to the moon and back.

the one where the fire hydrant got cold

I came across this during one of my walks with K last week:

Guess the fire hydrant just wanted to keep warm. 

Hope that whoever is missing their jacket isn't too cold.

The MacBook and the Air

The story of the tortoise and the hare ends with (spoiler alert!) the tortoise winning the race, however, in this 'Apple laptop version of the story', it's the Air that wins.

After seven (yes, seven) years with my trusty old white 13" MacBook, I finally bit the bullet and, as of today, I am starting a new relationship with an 11" MacBook Air. I'm still keeping my old one until it is run into the ground (I'm actually using it right now), but it hasn't really been functioning as a laptop for a year now (it's more like a desktop since the battery doesn't keep a charge for very long anymore and the power adaptor port is busted so we can't move the chord otherwise the connection is lost and the battery stops charging, lol) so I'm quite excited to have a real laptop again. The possibilities are endless! Even so, I'm still hoping that Old Trusty has a few years left in there somewhere. (Colour me sentimental, heh.)

As for the switch from 13" to 11", I was a little worried that I'd miss the 2" of screen space, but so far it's been a non-issue. I suppose only time will tell whether it will become a real irritant or not so stay tuned!
