8 Months Old!

Okay, for those of you keeping tabs, this was actually taken, well, November 2nd. . . but I hadn't gotten around to taking the 8 month picture yet, so there we go. Now I have.

Hi to Ohio Peeps!

Just a Note

I just want to post for the record how much I enjoy being William's mother (I know, I know, schmalty, sappy stuff like this should be left in the confines of our hearts - but I can't resist). He is a joy to be with: funny, learning new things daily, keeping me on my toes all day, and in general convincing me that eight months old is my favorite baby age so far.

Handle

Dear Potential Customer,

Please note the new "Handle" for babies is on the market this fall. This handy device provides a convenient grip for all your baby-wrangling needs: from diaper changes to bathtimes, from installing the baby in the car seat to the small outings on which it's easier to take baby as one would a purse.

"Handle" comes in many decorative colors, including this great shade of purple. Installation is easy - simply give "Handle" to baby who will instinctively stick it in their mouth, and you are done.

Sincerely,
Makers of the "Handle"

Fine Print: "Handle" is not in any way meant to replace other proven baby-wrangling techniques such as "holding baby safely," "buckling baby into car seat," or "making certain baby doesn't flip over on changing table."
