“Emerson, what can you make out if this?”

“This? Why, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl…”

We’re going somewhere, but I don’t know where. They keep saying something like “grammamerrys”, but I have no idea what that means.

Apparently deleting my old account made my reblogs all show up at once in the dashboard

Sorry about that.

So I’m walking around the yard with a stick in each hand. You know, like you do.

Then I look up, and Dad’s got that stupid iPhone out again, trying to take my picture. So I rush him, but he gets the shot anyway.

Well, he got a shot.

Okay, I’ve confirmed that the historically dated reblogs aren’t showing up as current in the dashboard.

So if you want to see my older posts, which of course you do, you can check out the old tumblelog. It’s just three pages. Read much more of my stuff at once and you’ll probably have an aneurism or something.

I’m not sure why I get a shirt for Mommy’s birthday, but this is so sweet I’m not going to question it.

The Freedom of Choice

Sat, 14 Jun 2008 18:54:00 -0400

I gotta tell ya, until today I hated tummy-time. HATED it.

Tummy-time is what various people in my life called it when they would humiliate me by placing me, stomach down, on the floor, bed, or whatever.

I’d lie there, staring at the carpet or blanket that I was being given a sub-one-inch view of, clearly letting them know that I was not enjoying myself, and all they would do was tell me what a “strong girl” I was. Idiots.

After an eon^* of this torment, they’d suddenly understand me and pick me up.

This was happening every single day, people.

Then I figured out this thing they call “rolling over”.

One moment I lay there like some sort of reverse turtle, rendered helpless by a bully’s flipping, then a little tuck here, a little push there and tada! I’m flipped right over like I’m Jackie Chan or something.

They turned me back over, and I just turned myself right back. Odd that it didn’t seem to upset them (quite the opposite), but who knows what goes on in these people’s heads?

The weird part is that now I’m fine with being on my stomach. It’s the exact same position I hated before, but now I know I’m not dependent on anyone else to get me out of it. Seems like there’s a lesson to be learned there.

Maybe after nap I’ll see if I can fix myself a bottle.

^*Okay, it was more like five minutes. But just think how much of a percentage of my life that is, compared to yours.

Hold me back, Mom!

Hey everyone,

Super sorry I haven’t posted in, like, more than half my life. Most of the time I’ve only got the two assistants and I’m beginning to think they’re moonlighting on me. Until I can get some more dependable help, here’s a more recent pic. You should see the way everyone acts when I make this face. You’d think I levitated or something.

Four weeks old! Sorry about the lack of posts. Been busy getting older. (via the old man)

“Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer and philosopher (1803-1882) (via aatw)

I’m always happy to share another insight from my man RWE, if only to help keep people from thinking I’m named after some actress’s daughter or gear head.

Nothing makes Boppy time pass like a quick once over of the Radar.

This Eee PC that middle bro let me borrow is sweet, although the keys are still a little big.

Half Shadow (via rodknowlton)

My first art shot. I’m wide-eyed innocence, tabula rasa, born into this world but yet to be formed by it. The shadow splits my face, representing all of the great dualities of human nature: mind and body, good and evil, paper and plastic. The darkness seems on the verge of overtaking me, but still I point to the light.

Either that, or the old man got between me and the light and I’m trying to get him to scootch a bit to the left. No, my left.
