Welcome

These are the reasons I am trying out a blog instead of a baby book for our little caterpillar girl.

  1. I confess, I still haven't bought a baby book.
  2. Much of the family is far away, and it's difficult to share her stories with everyone separately.
  3. I can type with one hand while nursing more easily than I can write in a book one-handed.

I want her to remain relatively anonymous, hence the pseudonym. I chose caterpillar girl because she has reached a stage of extreme squirminess that makes me think of a caterpillar and, in addition, the song Caterpillar by the Cure has always been a favorite. I find it endearing:

Flicka, flick, flicka
here you are
cata cata cata cata
caterpillar girl
...
You flicker and you're beautiful
you glow inside my head
you hold me hypnotized
I'm mesmerized...

She does hold us mesmerized. We can stare at her tiny face all day. Someday she will fly away. People says it happens so quickly. Therefore, I hope to remember through the stories I write here. Visit us when you have time and enjoy!
