Fall Fashion Preview

A sneak preview of what will be big this Fall: Oranges, Corals and texture will dominate the fashion scene. Items that evoke an "eccentric, old lady from the Upper East Side" are hot for Fall. Also big this coming season are silk scarves, retro patterns, and vintage-Victorian velvet shoes.

A "thank you" is owed to our willing model and to Aunt Whitny for coining the term for the "Upper East Side look".

First Foods

So far Riley has only tried a few foods. A tiny bite of homemade apple sauce and pureed carrots, a little vanilla frozen yogurt, a taste of watermelon, and last weekend, she helped herself to a lemon. Despite her mixed reviews, she kept putting the tart lemon in her mouth.

Mitt Trade

Way cuter than that vomiting baby on the e*trade commercials. Riley sat next to me while I worked yesterday. She was set up with an old laptop for practice and her cellphone, which is actually an old cell phone we washed, de-batteried and gave to her. She is a pro typist and devourers my mightymouse at any opportunity.
