AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Cute cute cute.

9/18/2009 8:45:12 AM

awesome dude. she's got quite a lot of hair.

for comparison, this was Maya at that age


6 months

9/18/2009 9:28:35 AM

^^ Thanks!

^ Haha, love that pic... looks like she is actually focusing on something and about to type a response to it... a TWW post perhaps?

The first pic I posted is at 3.5 months, the second at 5 months!

She was born with all that black hair (South Asian father). But has white skin (Caucasian wife).

She was born in Bath, UK, which is not a cosmopolitan place like London or Birmingham. Because of that, she became literally famous among all the nurses and midwives in 3 hospitals in that region for:

1) having so much hair at birth
2) having black hair

The vast majority of babies born there are Caucasian and are therefore blond and nearly bald at birth

She is nearly 6.5 months old now. Some more pics to come soon!

BTW, my baby's hair is getting lighter now... it was jet black at birth, now it is a dark brown. You can see that in the 2 pics as well, which are 1.5 months apart. Wonder what the color will be in a year or two from now!

she was actually playing http://www.babysmash.com

I wish that BabySmash or something like it would come on every time a child approaches the computer. Silas has a special skill for locating unattended computers and really screwing with things.
--

Like sd2nc's kid, I have a little one that likes to hang out in a basket. Over the past 2 weeks, Silas has been all about climbing into small spaces like baskets and storage bins.

9/18/2009 10:11:30 PM

how old is he now?

it freaks me the fuck out when I see kids going from being born to a couple of years old for some reason.. makes me feel old as hell.

9/18/2009 11:45:53 PM

Silas is 20 months old. He'll turn 2 in January, so it's not that bad.
But I know what you mean -- try being the parents of said kid.

9/19/2009 9:14:45 AM

Christ, you all made some cute fucking kids.

I like watching them grow older. Especially theduke's...his daughter wasn't exceptionally cute as a baby, but she's fucking adorable now.

9/19/2009 1:20:10 PM

OMG! OEPII1 posted pics! Jeez and she is amazingly adorable.

9/19/2009 10:05:27 PM

We are wearing tutus for halloween. I made it for her.

10/4/2009 10:26:42 PM

my daughter is all about climbing into the laundry baskets and sits in the boxes from BJ's. She's going on 22 months. crazy how fast they grow up.


some pictures from today



I upload pictures to our flickr website weekly so our relatives up north can see her grow up.

My little guy this summer:

10/14/2009 3:32:20 PM

Maya at the pumpkin patch stand today

10/17/2009 10:23:35 PM

Damn that's a cute girl!

10/17/2009 10:51:30 PM

About 2 more months till our spawn is out. I'll be happy when she can't brutalize my inside anymore.

10/19/2009 1:15:07 PM

mine's still little, but I'll be joining the club before too long

10/19/2009 4:12:11 PM

she's head down and ready to go! only at week 34, but they said she's allowed to come out whenever she chooses.

11/3/2009 6:29:32 PM

w00t! w00t! w00t! I am so excited KittyB! I want to see pics immediately! Nay, I demand them!

11/4/2009 9:53:20 AM

^^ wow, i didn't know you were that far along

11/4/2009 10:00:24 AM

11/4/2009 10:01:40 AM

i am against the practice of referring to children's ages in months.

i just wanted to put that out there.

11/4/2009 10:03:07 AM

fuck that, I'm doing it until she's off to college.

11/4/2009 10:07:36 AM

GIT OUTTA MUH BELLAY!



holy shit i apologize for that picture being so big, lol.

11/6/2009 10:10:13 PM

Hey hey!

11/10/2009 10:12:41 AM

none that i know of yet

11/24/2009 7:46:06 AM

call me testing the waters on this one, but who wants to send their kid to NCSU?

11/24/2009 9:21:41 AM

I'll let my daughter choose whatever college she wants to go to.

As long as it's NC State.

11/24/2009 3:21:03 PM

^Sounds like a bumper sticker.

11/24/2009 4:34:31 PM

My line is "They can go wherever college they want to. The tuition check is going to State."


Here's my girl at 6 months (October):

11/24/2009 4:56:01 PM

Hahaha, my preference is my son goes to NCSU. Because I prefer he get a useful degree.

11/24/2009 10:12:43 PM

ncsu science mom + ecu computer dad = ??????

we'll find out in about 18 years! 37 weeks, fully effaced and ready to get this martial artist OUT of my belly.

11/24/2009 10:28:49 PM

^It would be hilarious if your daughter turned out the be a total girlie girl sorostitute

11/24/2009 11:00:38 PM

^hilarious... but absolutely unfounded.

11/25/2009 11:54:08 PM

wow

Me and the wife really need to get on the ball.

But we want to get into a house first before we have any kiddies.

11/26/2009 1:07:06 AM

11 days till the due date. tuesday was a bit dramatic because i'm suddenly having fluctuations in blood pressure and getting some other mild preeclampsia symptoms. did the 24 hour urine collection and protein levels are above the acceptable limit. hopefully i'll hear back from the doc tomorrow, but this girl may get an "early" eviction.

12/10/2009 8:37:45 PM

I'll help you make her into a total sorostitute

12/10/2009 8:55:36 PM

linda, keep saying that and i'll never let you near her.

12/11/2009 6:37:38 PM

Silas is drawing closer and closer to the terrible twos with every passing day. Less than a month to go and already practicing those tantrums.

And with that stunning endorsement, I'm considering going back to work in childcare after Christmas. Toying around with the idea of doing in home childcare so that I can keep my son with me rather than working as a nanny.

12/11/2009 8:19:16 PM

daaaaawwwwww

12/11/2009 10:50:28 PM

2 weeks to go until Spawn 1 enters the world.

I'm (we're) not ready in the slightest.

12/14/2009 10:52:13 AM

^the feeling is mutual. in fact, i'm under the strict belief that if you're about to have your first child and you THINK you're ready, you're in denial.

12/14/2009 12:47:59 PM

Part of my feeling is b/c (a) this has been the pregnancy from hell and (b) we started a home renovation about 6 months ago that isn't quite finished. We have yet to have a single baby shower (b/c wife has been in and out of hospital and is currently at home on IV therapy), so there we go.

Other than that, things are great.

i, too, am against this practice.

i can understand while they are <1 year, but after that's annoying. esp when they say 24 months. damn it your child is 2 years. just say it.

or maybe i'll use weeks or days

12/14/2009 2:20:02 PM

Ready for Christmas!

12/18/2009 1:15:53 PM

at least 42 hours after my water broke (started first round of induction 4 hours later, second round started 15 hours after the first round started), i finally ended up with a c section. 2 hours of pushing had shown no progress.

ends up she couldn't come out because she was nearly 9 lbs, wrapped in her cord, with her body at an angle to the pelvis and her head at another angle in the birth canal.
