Politics, faith, breaking news, pop culture, sports. Most recently, almost 100% Baby. Not necessarily in that order. Sometimes serious. Oftentimes snarky. Usually thoughtful. Never dull. Also, all Baby posts are certified to be 100% cute.Jakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11174326085213423654vikesfan@gmail.comBlogger110125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11476815.post-87344759235918132372009-08-23T08:22:00.002-05:002009-08-23T08:24:51.294-05:00Hi everyone!

I'm not supposed to be using the computer yet, so don't tell my daddy about this post. So...as you can see from below, I'm a big sister now. It's pretty cool. He stinks sometimes, and cries a lot. But he's cute and doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon.<br /><br />But enough about the baby already. This post is about ME.
