pupsandpups: dad and me at duke

a glossary of terms

baba: anything small or something for which we hold affection. has come to mean, quite literally, *the* baba who is the subject of this blog
babski: baba with an eastern european flair. from watching all the nannies in prague wheel around their charges in bugaboo strollers. they (the babas) simply became babskis.
cell bundle: what we called the babski, pre-jordan and before the early ultrasound.
evangeline lucinda: the cutest baby ever.
fussbot: nomenclature re: newborn existential struggle.
jordan: the placeholder name for the babski. we thought it was a funny non-gendered name, and monica's enthusiasm for it was infectious
morgan: the other non-gendered placeholder name that didn't make the final cut. ted couldn't stop saying "big 'm,' little organ," so we scrapped it in favor of jordan.
pupsandpups: erin and jordan, combined. ted's invention.
voldy: proud papa.
