You Know You Have Little Kids When…
Here’s the other “you know you have kids when...” picture I mentioned, featuring Bob the Duck (aka the House Duck) on his “perch” of educational Baby Einstein water cup thingies, which are pretty clever actually. To the right is a big cup from the hospital, which we use for rinsing Sadie’s hair, filled with her fish set. There’s a fishing pole, squirty fish, sieve fish, sucker fish (so now she knows all about suction cups), goldfish, turtle and frog. Each of them can be hooked up by the fishing pole, or hooked to each other. Hooking them to each other drives Sadie crazy.
This One’s For Ith
I took this as one of a pair of “you know you have little kids when...” pictures. However, it’s also amusing because on the House MD mailing list, they refer to the doctors who work for House as “the ducklings.” And so these three got their names, from left to right: Cameron, Foreman, and Chase. Of course, the senior duck, better quality and traditional yellow, was long since dubbed Bob the Duck, but this would make him the Greg House of the bunch.
These three have squeak holes on the bottom, so they don’t float properly the way Bob does. You can actually force them to fill to varying degrees with water, then squirt it out. Sometimes I fill a couple of them to where they float with relative stability with only the beak and top of head above water, then play Monitor and Merrimac.
Right Out Of Labrynth
This caught my eye because her hair vaguely resembled Devid Bowie’s in Labrynth, which was cool even though one of my favorite examples of an oymoron is “good David Bowie song.”

Paging Billy Idol
What color are these eyes turning? It’s our favorite guessing game these days. Click each one for larger verions (full size, more than the normal 800 pixels wide). Sadie was clearcut blue almost from the start. Valerie had the indeterminate newborn blue, but it started changing promptly, looking at times like it’d be brown, or golden tan brown, or green, or maybe blue after all, if a steel gray variant, or hazel…
I have to get to work as I am already late, so more pictures will have to wait for tonight or tomorrow morning. Note that the above are all very recent pictures, like past week or less. They are a large sample size, not to show a sequence over time.

Baby Pictures
I have to get to the office ASAP, but I have a ton of Valerie pictures and Sadie pictures, so will try to post some this evening. I was thinking of posting some eye color close-ups to see what everyone thinks will happen with Val’s eyes. They’re looking to me like they’ll decide to be hazel.
Stay tuned…

Valerie As Promised
I forgot to change the JPEG compression setting so the files are big. Oh well. When I do more later I’ll turn it down a bit on the other pictures, but now I must finish looking at the directions to the place in Wilmington and get on the road.

Whole Valerie
Since they’ve been mostly pictures of her face so far, here’s the little peanut curled up in her car seat, being cute.

Val Sleeping in Sun
Sleeping in her car seat in the sun in my office, which is probably where she sleeps best. Probably the white noise, which is why I can sleep so well in my chair in the office. Anyway, the sun really shows off how light her hair is, and I captured it by turning off the flash. We wouldn’t be surprised if her hair changes to quite blonde later, though it will then likely get darker again as mine and my sister’s did. This picture was taken on the 11th.

Xylophone
Not just a xylophone, it’s also a chair!
Glasses

Valerie Eyes
This is the best her eyes have shown in a picture yet, They look to be leaning greenish blue so far. At first we thought they’d be brown, maybe hazel or green. The green has remained, but they’re looking like they could end up a shade of blue. Guess we’ll see.
Heads up: The 800 pixel wide version you’ll get by clicking the small picture above is saved in best quality JPEG, so it’s unusually large, maybe 325k.

Waking Up Is Hard To Do
And it can lead to a bad hair day…
...But at least there’s coffee to make it all better.
