It didn't work

I changed our blog settings so search engines like Google wouldn't "crawl" our site. But Site Meter says Google is still sending people our way.

Recent searches resulting in a trip to our blog:

"dry ice" rostov shipping
Ferberization
"cantelope drink"+recipe (apparently I am not the only one who spells canteloupe incorrectly)
Inventor of BlueBell Ice cream

Apparently I use all the right buzz words.

I know you only come here for pictures of Ian. More soon, I promise.

Mystery Solved

My mom is a genius. Several weeks ago she suggested that perhaps all the random visits to our site from around the world were due to key words on our blog, such as Blue Bell Ice Cream, or Houston Temple. Well, turns out she was right!

Site Meter tells me that many reffering URLs for our blog include Google searches for none other than Blue Bell Ice Cream. See for yourself. Try out some recent searches that landed strangers on our site in a matter of 3 or 4 days:

Blue Bell Ice Cream Tours
Blueberry ice cream factory + brenham (we are the first two sites listed for this one!)
Blue Bell Ice cream factory Texas

Somehow this makes those visits less creepy. Thanks Site Meter.

Laughing Baby

Here is a video of Ian laughing. Apparently watching me blow bubbles with a wad of gum is the funniest thing ever. Please pretend you can't hear my chewing and nerdy laughing behind the camera.

7-Month-Olds are Messy Creatures

Ian enjoys feeding himself. Lately he likes to spit food into his hands and then smear it back into his face. He is especially enthusiastic about oats and yams. I think we need to invest in some bibs. And a hose. How 'bout a hug?
