WHY MY BABY SHALL BE COOLER THAN YOURS

[enough said... though more is inevitably inevitable]

 

SHHH...

[This one, as well as being for the dear, wee Aquababy, is for the Wife. Can't say I don't take your suggestions any longer; tee hee...]

 

I GROW ADDICTED TO COMPLICATED PATTERNS

[Just so you know, I must have the best gig ever. This all, hopefully, will count as professional practice...]

 

IF YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER ON SESAME STREET WAS THE COUNT...

FOR THE WEE BUNDLE

MEET THE AQUABABY[AGE 27 1/2 WEEKS]

Well, dear reader, the wife and I are having a little girl. We just had another ultrasound and this time the wee Aquababy was not as secretive. Also, for your listening pleasure, I offer to you the Aquababy's heartbeat [just click the play button above].

Also, for all you friends and family, and you dear reader if you so desire, just click here to download a picture of the wee girl's profile at 27 1/2 weeks.

All I can say is huzzah!!!

 

MY NEW FAVORITE WORD

Huzzah!!!

CIRCUMAMBULATION:A NEW PROJECT FOR THE AQUABABY

With the Aquababy's alphabet closing in on completion, I have determined to start yet another project. One of these days I will write about this recent trend in my work, dear reader, let you inside the old head, if you will, but for the moment I feel more compelled to take a wee nap, ten perhaps make a little something to eat, and get a bit of work done for the impending week on campus.

Though, now that I think of it, if you have any suggestions for some rather long words that every child should know, dear reader, please do send them along.
