Ah. It's been so long I'd forgotten. I remember when my first became mobile. We could track her by the trail of spit up.

Once, my third was riding on my shoulders. What a scene of warm and fuzzy Americana. Until I felt the puke running down both sides of my head. :o
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Ahhh! "Pukey hair". They said I'd laugh about it later.

This. Not what HTRN posted. He had his two month appointment the other day. He weighed 9lbs 9oz, which I thought was pretty good considering he started at 5 pounds even.

My 7th grade daughter took the SAT in December as part of the Duke Talent Identification Program. Scored above the median scores for high-school seniors.

You didn't know to use those women's hair covers which you can tie under your chin but can keep your hair dry (an accordion-folded kinda' plastic cover and easily fits in your glove-box) whenever you put an infant/young child on your shoulders, ESPECIALLY when such child my be inclined to use your hair as a spittoon or vomit receptacle? When my nephew and niece were very small, I kept a couple of those in my glove-box to have them available and close-at-hand should the need arise (I'd had my head spit-up on before and didn't appreciate the experience). I'd since had the top of my head saved once, when one of them wasn't feeling very good and didn't tell me they'd been sick before I swung them up and put them om my shoulders and started bouncing them around!! BURRRPPPP!!!!!

At LEAST it wasn't on my HEAD!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :D :D

Well said. I have two, and they are The Best. (And I really don't care whether or not you take my word for it.)

None have claimed I'm there Daddy, still waiting on my youth to come back on me so I'm going with no kids to brag about. :lol:
Same here. So far as I know, I don't have any offspring. Can't rule it out completely, but the odds are very much against it.

Yes, he is. He's kind of a serious little guy thus far, but he seems to be happiest when he's being bathed. I'm really looking forward to when he's old enough to do stuff with. I decided that the CJ-5 in the backyard that I'd been saving for some indeterminate future project will be his. It'll give him something to learn mechanics on, that's hard to screw up, and will keep his mitts off my MG until he's had the chance to get some skills. And if he's so inclined, he's going to have some real opportunities to learn stuff, since his dad's a mechanic, his grandpa (maternal) is a machinist and shipwright, and his uncles are an engineer and an architect. AlaskaTRX is already salivating at the prospect of having a fly fishing and fly tying apprentice with hands that are small enough to tie all of the micro sized flies that he used to be able to tie when he was younger before his hands got too big.
