  ...is no longer an IT -- HE is a boy! :D He looks a lot like Evie -- Chubby McChubbs, strong limbs, good profile (looks like mine, heehee), already making fists, trying to suck his thumb. I'm not one of those people who think that boys are girls are inherently different, aside from physical thing...

  Cuddly. Love my babykisses. She loves green blocks. She ADORES her sparkly Magic Car-riding Ball.  Not that she needs any inducement to ride in the car -- she still loves riding around, feeling the breeze and looking out the windows. Just me, a few minutes ago, chilling and looking forward t...

  These are but a few of the plethora of photos I've taken since my last entry.  Most of these are very recent.  Enjoy! Did I do that? Hanging out. Saturday, at Piedmont Park. She is SUCH a happy baby, and knows how to pose. With Uncle Krassi. Joyfulness! Never without a smile. ...

  Things are progressing, but it's kind of a two-steps-forward-one-step-back type of thing...or maybe vice-versa sometimes.  I returned to the orthopedist, who now thinks I might have a spinal injury/disc problem in my neck, since I have a lot of pain there too, and constant hea...
