THIS IS NOT SPONGEBOB!!!

-

The rains (and thunder, and hail, and lightning) seem to have finally gone away. They have apparently done wonders for Mackay and Owen, though - who are growing like proverbial weeds. Owen's now over 15 pounds, and while it's likely he'll need to have at least one more surgery at some point in the next year or so, he's doing well now. He is, quite frankly, the happiest baby I've ever met. He keeps busy commando crawling his way around the floor, and smiling at his big sister, who he thinks hung the moon.


Mackay is mostly a joy, when she's not doing her daily imitation of the demon from the exorcist. This stops when they are three, right?

We let her watch Sesame Street and Dora on our laptops occasionally, but because we almost never watch 'real' TV, she is totally unclear on the concept of commercials. Regardless, her favorite show is Spongebob Squarepants (yes, I know she's only 2). Bill was recently watching this with her on the big TV, and a commercial came on. Mackay looks at the screen - with all the derision a 2 year old can muster - and yells 'THIS is NOT Spongebob!!!"

We stopped for breakfast, and were pleasantly surprised by great bread/sandwiches, and a single charger that offered 5$ an hour (pro-rated if you don't stay a full hour) for charging, at a speedy 45 mph (not Tesla, supercharger speedy, which can top 360 mph, but very good for a generic all purpose charger). We headed out after breakfast and made our way south. Super cool canyon walls outside Grand Teton We continued on the winding roads, whose speed limit quickly jumped to 80 MPH, which I thought was pretty awesome. Around each bend, we found new terrain... Bill converted this to black and white, but the low boulders and general lack of color really made us feel like we were

Mackay is Teething!

-
Big news. Guess what....Mackay loved having her sore gums soothed with little dabs of bourbon...she thought about it, liked it, and she calmed down...mostly. This is Rosi, Mackay's godmother...not fairy...letting you all know that teething babies like a little bourbon. And no, this doesn't make them alcoholics for life.

She sits!

Drum roll please. Mackay sat up today. By herself! For several minutes. She even picked up a couple toys without falling over. It's very exciting. My, has my definition of excitement changed since I had a baby.
