Baby Names

So we've come up with some names...

For a girl, we love Isis. Maybe Isis Aurora. It's different without being super weird and I don't know of any other baby girls named Isis around here!!

For a boy, we like Knox. But here's my problem: that is what Angelina Jolie named her son. That annoys me to death!!!! Is everyone going to think I named my kid after her son? Because she's okay and everything, but I like that name DESPITE OF the fact that she named her kid that. Not BECAUSE she did.

I don't know...what do you think? We're pretty much sold on Isis. You can probably bet on that being the girl name if it's a girl. We are not 100% sold on Knox, but only because of the Angelina thing. We also like the name Jett. But that's a celebrity's kids name too!! Grrrrrrrrr.

Isis is lovely.

Between Knox and Jett, I'd lean towards Jett. I wrote about him the other day - there's a link to my blog below. Yes, he's been used by celebs. But he was also the last character played by James Dean. (In the movie Giant - a huge blockbuster in its day.) It's also a gemstone name and, like, Knox, a traditional surname. Both George Lucas and John Travolta chose the name for their sons - that softens the associations a bit, too.

10 on Tuesday: 10 Favorite 6 Month Pics

This is completely gratuitous, just me posting pictures of Isis, but my friend Hannah took some pictures of our family yesterday! She is such a great photographer & she is also going to be watching Isis for me in the fall when I start my student teaching. I feel so blessed to have her as a friend on top of the fact that she takes gorgeous pictures of Isis!! I also realized that I didn't put any of the ones where she is smiling in this post. This just means I'll have to post more another time! Get excited! (And this is not a great comment-grabbing post , but who cares? This is for the digital baby book!)

How to Efficiently Read Blogs

Have you ever been just completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of blogs out there you can read? I have. Wow. So many fabulous people I'm interested in reading about! I love the stories, the humor, the pictures, the tips, the giveaways, the links, I just love it all! So I've found myself having to streamline my blog reading in order to better manage my time & make sure I hit the "must-reads" for me. Here's how I've done it: First of all, if you leave a comment on my blog or if you follow my blog, I will go to your blog & at the very least I will follow you on Google Friend Connect . This way the blog shows up on my blogger dashboard when I log in. I always look over the new posts that are there when I log in each day, but if you've looked at my Google Friend Connect page lately, you'll see that I follow a lot of people's blogs! So I had to come up with a more specific approach in addition to the blogger dashboard. This is where my Goog...
