Thou shalt not covet

February 27th, 2009 · by map · 22 Comments

I can’t figure out if all our friends had babies or if we started becoming friends with more people who have babies, but whatever the trajectory, I feel like I’m seeing babies everywhere I turn this last year. And they’re all adorable. You hear that? I SAID, THEY’RE ALL ADORABLE! So easy to bruise feelings.

Now for the part where I do that thing you’re not supposed to do. Namely, state out in the open that I find one baby cuter than any other baby I’ve seen in the last 4.5 years or so. The distinction (?) goes to my friend Heather’s daughter Violet. Behold:

vi

and

vi2

Maybe it’s just me. Could it be? Nah. Frankly, I’m amazed myself that Vi stands out among all the cuties that’ve come along recently (and not so recently). Sadly for Vi, though, her reign as Bebe Mas Bonita is up sometime between now and the end of May (hopefully more toward the end of May!). I guess she’ll have to go back to being merely the apple of her mum and pop’s eyes. Along with her twin brother Liam, that is, who’s no slouch in his own right!

  • Vi’s mommy

    Only 6 months old, and she’s already turned up on some guy’s website (with permission, of course). I think this means I’m in BIG trouble. ;)

    Obviously, you’ve never seen baby pictures of Molly … or even Drew or that matter.

    HA HA HA!

    Just joking … Vi IS an adorable little girl, I must say. :)

    I will obviously have to bring Cadie in to work again. And we will sit in your office until you admit she’s the most beautiful baby ever.

    Seriously, though, that is one adorable little girl.

      So long as you bring the MBP along, I won’t mind. :)

    Vi’s mommy – She has amazing eyes. And this is just the beginning. Good thing she has a brother to look out for her!

    Vanessa: my friend Lydia just brought home one of those “babies”. And yes – I do covet.

    I’m hurt.

    But I get it. I have been giving Ted the old stink eye because he’s always raving about the uber-cuteness of one of the little girls at our day care. Yes, the same day care that said Uber Cute Girl shares with his very own daughter.

    Our Mae is NOT chopped liver, mind you. IMHO, she’s the Cutest Babygirl EVAR. I have advised Ted to keep his raves to a minimum when she is within hearing range because I am worried that she will develop a complex.

    Thanks Vanessa! I do have to agree that her eyes are pretty striking. And these photos say nothing of her copper hair!

    In any case, I’m sure all of your babies are just as lovely as mine–Mr Palmberg is apparently just a sucker for redheads. ; )
