Pretend First Father's Day

I know that Father's Day isn't until next Sunday, but next Sunday BVZ will be away at trial (boo!) and so we celebrated today. I made hot breakfast and Norah and I gave her dad his gifts. Norah got him a sweet book and this fancy plate she made him that has her cute little hand prints on it.

Norah's mom went above and beyond and got him the new Neil Young Archives Volume I. This was particularly impressive given the lengths Norah's mom went to in order to get this awesome gift (namely, she made trips to seven different music stores and a got into a verbal altercation with a customer service rep at Amazon.com).

After presents and breakfast, BVZ and Norah went on a long walk. I stayed behind intending to clean the bathroom, but ended up laying on the couch and watching a terrible movie instead.

Texas folks, please pay particular attention to the fact that it is June 14 and in order to go for a walk outside at 11 am, Norah had to wear a winter jacket. That's why we can never move back to your hot ass state, suckers!

Could she be any cuter?

The fog burned off and we took a family trip to Whole Foods. BVZ finally understands how fun it is to go to Whole Foods with Norah and wants to take her evey weekend (I am telling you, WF is Disneyland for babies). We got stuff to grill and set up shop in the backyard.

Norah is currently obsessed with tortilla chips. It is a dangerous obsession to have, believe me.


She was throwing a fit about it, so I put some guacamole on her chip. It was pretty mild, but I do think she got a taste of something spicy.



BVZ is wearing a Chuck Norris t-shirt and a woman's sun hat. Priorities change post-baby, people.

It used to be very easy to hang out with Norah in the backyard because she was scared of grass and would stay on the blanket the entire time. She is not scared of the grass any longer.


So, in order to get her to stay put I had to give her the roll of paper towels.

Don't worry, we will use all the ones she tore off at a later date. Even the ones she chewed on a little.

She liked wearing the hat.

And much preferred to hang out on the brick than on the blanket.


It was a great Father's Day (well, at least in my opinion....). We love you BVZ and look forward to celebrating many more.
