My Inner Cutesie

Ok so I bought this baby book when I was pregnant thinking that I would write down every little milestone and first of Oliver's young life. I am so sad to admit that I have slacked a little bit on this. I've taken an insane amount of pictures of my little dude, but haven't really "scrap booked" or even kept on the baby book. I am morally against scrap booking, fyi. Cutting pictures seems sacrilegious to me. And I'm not really into putting pre-made cutesie stickers next to personal memories.

As I've told Josh, I think I'm missing the girl gene that likes cutesie things like baby showers, lyrics from modern country love ballads, and any sort of party where if you're a girl you're expected to attend while someone tries to sell you something (make-up, candles, kitchenware, etc.) If I do attend one of these parties, it means I really like you. If you're into these kinds of things, great for you! I just don't quite understand lots of cutesie things. I gotta be honest, Anne Geddes creeps the crap out of me. She and Celine Dion collaborated for a project, and I'm surprised the Earth didn't implode due to cuteness overload.



Yuck.

Then again I am the girl who played ninja turtles when many were playing barbies. Ninja turtles got to do way cooler things like protect the world from the evil Shredder. What did Barbie do other than max out her credit cards? Maybe I'd be a lot more stylish had I learn to accessorize with Barbie.

However there are some exceptions to this aversion to cuteness. Pretty much I love all animals and cute pictures of them make me smile.



And being a mother has definitely brought this part out of me a lot more.
