He takes every opportunity to climb up on my chair and bash away at the keyboard.

This morning he even brought his own “starter laptop” out, and placed it on my desk in front of my somewhat more realistic PC.

It was pretty cute.

You might also guess that Patrick’s at the adorable age where he’s talking and learning new words about every 90 minutes. This is an exciting and head-scratching time for us. Because as wonderful as it is, we can’t always understand what he’s trying to say.

Or worse. We know perfectly well what he’s saying, but he’s trying to say something completely different. Witness his struggles with the word “computer.”

Darnedest things, etc.

This happened a few days ago. Fortunately for me, Jordan has (correctly) assumed that this is an adorable mispronunciation.

Jordan has to fly with Patrick week after next. This looks like a pretty good option. But those carriers are so expensive.

Yes, jackhammers are awful, though I’m not sure they pose significant…wait. What the hell do you have in your hand?

Update: This photo is actually from 2004, and it’s—amazingly—true. Snopes has the low down.

Wishes for a Newborn.

Sorry it’s been so long since we posted.  We’ll have a real update for you soon. But Jordan sent me this comic, and I had to share. Click to super-size.

For example, this picture came from one of my favorite blogs, Cakewrecks.

Cakewrecks celebrates terrible cakes, and this one certainly qualifies. But normally I’d let it pass without comment. This morning, though, I could not look away from the horror.

  • Why are her fingers so long?
  • Is she French? Or does she just really like Pepsi?
  • What did they use to simulate a belly button?

So yeah, I was transfixed. And I suppose I’ll be like this for a while. Before, when I saw pregnant ladies, I just noted the fact of pregnancy and moved on. Now, every pregnancy-themed bit of culture I see resonates stupidly inside me. “Will my wife look like that? Will someone lose their damn mind and buy us a cake formed to look like a pregnant torso?”

The mind reels.
