Thank the goddess alternative insemination tends to produce slightly disproportionate amounts of boy babies, given most gals wind up tracking their ovulation as an after-the-fact event, and male sperm swim faster. Two plus two equals lotsa boys being raised by lotsa single women and two-gal parent teams. Eventually the enlightenment will even out. Or so I gotta believe.

The bro-in-law is special and so are the guys that you know. And I hope they feel good about that and go preach the good word out there. Kisses to you and your family. I miss you all very much.

Because so many expressions are the first very such expression! So of course we're lucky if either of us sees it -- first smirk; first kinda smile, only it's not a smile right now, he's digesting, but one day in the future it'll be a smile. I made my brother-in-law watch a whole slew of pictures right there on the camera (set it to a slide show setting) and it took him a good 5 min. before he finished watching just one festival of baby expressions. He couldn't put the camera down for fear of somehow losing his pole position as Super Uncle. Yes! Because so many expressions are the first very such expression!

We hear you on the book front. That is a pretty great stage, where it is almost as great to look at pictures of the new baby as to hold and snuggle the new baby.
