I'll never...

One of my favorite James Bond movies suggested that you "never say never again" and I have proved that twice in the last week. My first was entering a movie theater at 9'oclock in the morning, something that just doesn't feel right to begin with, and then when confronted with Elmo and about 30 moms it felt even less so. It would appear I am one of the few and proud dads that can make an Elmo run on a random Wednesday morning. Then a week later I find myself playing the "where's your belly button, now where's my belly button" game in seat 20C of a regional jet streaking home on a Monday morning surrounded by 90 business professionals all headed to the capital for a busy work week. It turns out, both for Sydney and I, this is a whole new world of experiences.

Carry Me

To be honest, we probably pick her up too much when she should be walking around, but if this face is looking up at you, what choice do you really have? :)

Precocious?

I don't know if it's possible for a 16 month old to be sassy, but this picture was taken moments after I specifically indicated that, "We don't try to eat the floor and we don't lick the handle on your play baby stroller." Mmmmm...stroller handle.

Bring a Friend!

After her first visit, Sydney couldn't wait to bring a friend to the farm park, so Natalie accompanied her. For some reason, the theme song to Laverne and Shirley comes to mind when I look at this picture. Shortly after, a cow almost digested most of Natalie's shirt and it's unlikely she'll be back for some time without counseling. (Photo Credit to Maggie)

Animals

We recently took Sydney to a farm park where she was enthralled with the pigs, horses, goats and cows. She howled when a goat stuck it's tongue out and we're still not sure if she was afraid or was laughing hysterically.

Scholarship

It's never to early to start looking so Maggie and I took in Harvard Square while visiting Boston this weekend (without Sydney and during which we slept as much as possible!). We wanted to bring back pictures so she knows what Harvard looks like and we've started spelling out the word scholarship with her bath letters because we sure as hell can't afford it. I'm not even sure what it costs but as they say, "If you have to ask...." :)
