TWO FIRSTS Two firsts happened this weekend. Both baby-related. The first..uh...first is that the child looked at me and said "da-da". She has been able to say "da-da" for awhile now, but previously delighted in saying it to the couch, her toys, or the cat. Somehow, she managed to disassociate "da-da" from those items/animals and hook it to me. Needless to say, I'm pleased as punch. The second...uh...first is that the child is now mobile. No, she didn't lease a 2005 Nissan Altima, she spontaneously started crawling. After showing absolutely no interest in crawling for the previous several months--concentrating instead on standing and pseudo-walking by holding onto various household objects (i.e. the aforementioned couch, the end tables, my pantleg, the glide-footstool for the glide-rocker (oooh, lookit the baby dance!), my nose (which really hurts!), the bookshelves, my hip when I'm laying on the floor (so that she is better able to ram her cute little knee into daddy's crotch), and the like)--she just ups and crawls like it's no big deal. I think she was holding out on us this whole time. Hiding her abilities, like the X-Men, from the general populace. Kinda makes you wonder what else she can do, doesn't it? "Does Daddy's little stinker wanna balance Daddy's checkbook?" I'm just waiting for the UPS man to show up with all of the items that "somebody" ordered off the internets.

THE FORCE IS STRONG IN THESE GUYS... Go here for a transcript of a wonderful chat between Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma, etc), Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead), and Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) about Star Wars and what it means to them. Best sentence: "Nobody says 'I love you' and 'I know' back, that perfectly well timed, without getting punched in the nuts." (via freakgirl) |
