I am very excited to welcome you all to the new and improved Everybody Loves Baby! Isn’t it gorgeous? Don’t you wish you were a website too, so that you could take into a dark corner of the Internet and make out? I know I do!

But, before I give you the guided tour, I need to recognize the two amazingly talented people who made this possible. First off, the superhero of design, Juan Miguel Marin, who created that ridiculously beautiful and fitting banner from the following conversation:

Me: Can you, like, help me make my blog pretty?
Juan: Sure, how do you envision it looking?
Me: You know, pretty.
Juan: Okay… can you be more specific?
Me: Uh, I like orange.

Juan, you are a genius.

And secondly, the wizard of web development: Jon Aron of 1310 Studios. Because I actually tried to do this myself, and then realized that, unless I wanted the place to look like this, I needed a professional. Somebody who didn’t scratch his head and go, HUH?? WHAA??, when asked about FTP access.

So, THANK YOU! Jon and Juan. You are rock stars.

Jon and Juan…those names are the perfect segue into what I want to talk about next. If you snoop around the buttons at the top, you’ll notice that under the “About” tab I wrote: This is where I document the bilingual adventures of my Cuban/Venezuelan/American family. Bilingual being the operative word. Now that I have my own domain and the freedom to set this place up how I want, I plan to start posting in Spanish as well. Why? You ask. Well, because we speak Spanish at home and have tons of friends and family in Latin America that also deserve detailed and graphic updates on Luki’s poops. So, be on the lookout for that in the next couple of weeks.

For now, I invite you to explore this new space. I transferred all my old posts from blogger, and they are neatly organized by month at the top, and category on the sidebar. I have an “Everybody” and  a “Baby” page with some pictures and descriptions of the people I write about most, and if you want to contact me, I got myself a fancy everybodylovesbaby.com email.

So, make yourselves at home. Take off your shoes, hang up your coat, have a glass of wine, and join me in this new chapter of my Internet life.

P.S. You should totally invite some of your friends over.

P.P.S. I was actually thinking that you could like, post on your Twitter or Facebook profile that this blog is awesome and then we could start a huge movement, like that time everybody was talking about their bra color.

P.P.P.S. You could say, “if you visit www.everybodylovesbaby.com, you will get a free cookie.”

P.P.P.P.S. I know that’s “technically” a lie. But when I have like a million followers, and Everybody Loves Baby rules the Internet, I’ll totally make the creation of cookie dispensing websites my first order of business.

UPDATE: Apparently, websites already give out cookies, just not the soft and chewy kind. So, to avoid confusion, when Everybody Loves Baby rules the Internet, I’m commissioning the creation of flan dispensing websites as my first order of business. Flaaaan. Yum…
