Superbaby 2!

Back when Desmond was a wee bairn we made a Superbaby video. Here's the sequel, and a great way to stop him from crying.

Extreme closeups = extreme adorableness!
CANS YOU HANDLES IT?

Do You Think I'm Some Kinda Clown?

We thought it was super hilarious when he started laughing like this. The secret of what Sara was doing to make him giggle maniacally remains a mystery.

Back to Business

So last time I said I would post 10 times in a row, and I think I only made it to 8. I'll try to do better this time. My goal is to be caught up in about 2 weeks... will it happen? Anyone care to place a bet?

Here are some photos of Desmond, Ron and me in our "backyard," which is really just a dirt parking lot with some pretty ivy on the walls. They were taken on July 4th, when D was about 9 months old. The last photo is all of us in the car, though you can't really see D 'cause he's in his carseat. Still, cute photos of mommy and daddy are a rarity these days, so I've included it.

Excuse me, sir?

Sir? You've got a little - ahem - a little something stuck to the bottom of your shoe there, ha ha, happens to the best of us, just one of those days, am I right?

What's that? You meant to do that? Oh. I see. Well, I'd best be going. The wife's waiting for me, and... OK then.

I Want To Ride My Bicycle

On a trip to the park in early July, Desmond got to try out his friend Sophia's tricycle. It was a very fancy one, and he love love loved it. (He may not look especially thrilled in the photos, but that's just because riding one's first tricycle takes a good deal of concentrated effort, as well as an occasional handlebar gnawing.)


Sophia's mom Julie was even kind enough to videotape the momentous occasion for posterity.

Antics

So we hear this whimpering coming from the dining room, and this is what we found. Desmond had crawled up under his exersaucer and tried to stand up, thereby trapping himself in the turned-up seat. He couldn't find a way out of this predicament, so he eyed us sorrowfully from his leghole. He was clearly hoping that we, his loving and nurturing parents, would promptly save him. Being the evil bastards that we are, we went and got the camera instead.
