Month: September 2008

… like the frozen lobster.

We read somewhere that now is the time to start the boy learning how to drink from a regular, adult-style open cup. I don’t really remember why, although the same book said that sippy cups are the tool of the devil. I don’t really remember why.

Anyway, cup practice is good fun for all involved, although it requires even more bibbage than usual. And often a change of clothes. For everyone involved.

I considered waiting to write about this until we got a good picture, but I can’t. Last night when I was holding Conrad, he did this funny little thing where he opened his mouth and leaned forward and pressed his lips against my cheek. He’s done it to Jean and Bonnie, and our friend Lisa who was visiting. Then we realized “or projected”: He’s giving us a little kiss.

It is almost painful in its adorableness.

Just the first of many, many times your Daddy will embarrass you.

Lots of new pictures on the Flickr page, by the way.

He’s got his own spoon, but it’s mostly ceremonial at this point.
