Charlie.
Meet Sage Charlotte Erzulie, born September 26. She drinks two ounces of milk every two hours, makes mewling sounds when annoyed, and hates air-conditioned rooms. She has her dad’s nose and her mom’s intractability. Oh, and she’s charming enough to inspire a surprising, are-you-sure-this-is-you burst of domesticity in a mom who never thought she’d find joy in changing diapers, waking up at the ungodly hour of six just so the little one could get some sunning, and prattling to a little person who never talks back.
‘Course, you won’t be seeing any mother and child photos posted any time soon because at 30 pounds over her pre-baby weight, the mom shuns cameras and photo ops with almost religious vehemence.
A big thank you to all those who visited, called, texted, and sent their loves and well-wishes.


Hi! My name is Chin, and this is where, to quote Jane Austen, I "run mad and as often as I choose."

Hey, congratulations. I know you’ve gotten this a lot, but she’s adorable. *suppressing urge to baby-talk to the computer monitor*
Or, you know, I could go through Merriam-Webster to look for another word for adorable if you’ve heard it enough.

Is this adorable bundle yours??? Is that why you haven’t updated your blog forever???
She’s a joy to behold and I’m sure a joy to love. Congratulations!
