Spring Fever

Man, today is one of those days that I just don't want to be inside.  One of the few advantages of working in Queens is the utterly spectacular views of Manhattan I get from my office window, and on glorious days like today I just press my face against the glass and wish it were time for recess.  I wonder if there's any way me and Huck can sneak out early and play hookie down by the river...

We had a huge breakthrough the other day at Casa de Cheeky.  As much as I LOVE the deltoid workout of holding a bottle suspended over her mouth, when Cheeky grabbed the handles of her water bottle like Jeff Gordon catching a bite at Talladega and lifted it to her lips we went nuts.  YES!  Independent eating, or at least the early stages of it!  Of course, she still thinks corn puffs are projectiles and spoons are drumsticks, so we're not over the hump yet.  Next stop, swallowing the Cheerio…

Dude - Four Square? What kind of namby-mamby elementary school recess were you participating in?

[Mr. Big Dubya]

Actaully - that should be namby-Pamby - PIMF

your links are always worth a click (wait, i didn't mean for that to sound so sketchy. did that sound sketchy to you? i sounded sorta like some weird pick-up line or something, which it wasn't, since well, we've already established that you look freakishly like an old flame and that whole scene ended VERY badly. and today, when i was looking at your site, i had to put my thumb over your new picture in an effort not to think about it and so, in short, i totally sounded skeezy by accident and i would never try to pick you up... you know, on purpose. and, oh yeah, p.s. hi claudia.)
i wanted to be outside today, too.

I would be a supreme bitch today if I said that I got to play outside today. Twice. But I won't.

Anywhoo, the self feeding is good stuff. Wait until she starts trotting around the house with the bottle dangling out of her mouth.

I really miss four square! Oh and we still haven't mastered the Cheerio swallow around here either.
