Trixie is seriously good at sprinklifying. And I love your use of a tiny glass pitcher for sprinkles containment. It's so Martha Stewart.

I don't really understand the whole romp rats comment. What the heck are romp rats and what isn't impossible? and whats a T-16. I'm so lost!

It's a (modified) quote from the first Star Wars movie--at the end, when Luke is saying that he thinks he can hit a small target on the Death Star.

Yours in Geekdom, E.

last story was in July...this is getting boring. she sure is cute, but come on ben, we miss your WRITING! You are a talented writer, wish we saw more of that side of TTU

I miss the writing too. The only thing I can really say is that I've had to carefully choose what I get to spend time on. The reason TTU has been neglected is that I've been trying to launch Trixie Tracker since the summer, and it keeps taking longer than expected. The upside is that the software is very cool and soon there's going to be bumper crop of baby data spreading all over the world.

As far as the stories go, I will think about it and see if I got anything :)

I was thinking they could be making a big sister announcement and you had some inside info, Summer.

Yeah that was what i guessed you were thinking! :)

I'm just another person who checks in here- don't know them personally!

Trixie seems to have the whole sprinkle thing down to an art.

Ben I'm missing the stories too... That being said, I'm loving using the trixie tracker for my kids!! Keep up the good work!

Trixie has so much potential. She may very well become one heck of a baker as she gets older. MMMM you'll have to have a seperate site where we can all buy trixie's cakes and cookies and stuff! Yum. Trixie's Treats.

Oh and thanks for the geekfo (info) E. I shoulda known that seeing as I grew up with a huge star wars freak for a brother but I really had no clue. But thanks for clearing it up.

Oh! Oh! I have to take credit for my quote! (I didn't mean to post as Anonymous, I just forgot to put my name.) My daughter Amelia was just leafing through the TPOD's she missed - imagine my surprise when I found my spur-of-the-moment Star Wars geek quote promoted to co-caption! Now, finally, Amelia thinks I'm cool. Thanks, Ben!

(And thanks for explaining, fellow SW-geek "E"!)

Kind of ballsy visiting somebody's site and then criticizing him on how it's kept up.

Think of being invited to somebody's house often for tea and berating them for not buying new furniture since you're bored with their current setup.

everyone chill out and just enjoy!

I couldn't agree with you more, Kimberly!
I think Ben is purely amazing just for the simple fact that he has a two year old that he takes pictures of as much as he does. And on top of that, he shares them with all of us. And on top of that, he's so thoughtful, he's spending all this time on the Trixie Tracker to share as well!
That said, I also have to agree with Summer.
Ben:
How about any new favorite sayings that Trixie has? Em's newest is "Oh, man!" And we would LOVE a sound clip!!!

Fortunately, sugar cookies help with logic, spelling, punctuation, and grammar...
