two out of two photographers agree. logan is as cute as a bug’s ear — and i’m not talkin’ one of those green, slimy bug’s ears. i’m talkin’ a really, really, ridiculously good looking bug’s ear. maybe we’re partial. eileen and i think mixed babies are extra cute, which is why i married her. (ouch!!) I mean, just one small, fleeting reason that crossed my mind when I married her. anyway, i was saying we may be partial, but we think you’ll agree.

logan’s mom and dad, mary jane and robert, are good friends of ours. neither is allergic to grass, but their baby seems for some reason to have a phobia of the stuff. just see the pics below: happy as can be on his blanket, then put him on the grass and his legs begin to hover above the blades in an amazing acrobatic feat.

besides our great time with logan, we attended a baby shower for our sister-in-law carrie, expecting in december. congratulations carrie! do i hear maternity shots?? (i promise, nothing provocative.) among the men at the shower, i won the bottle-drinking contest. i’m very proud, but had an unfair advantage as i was weaned from my bottle only at 18 years of age.

just kidding. i was actually weaned at a relatively acceptable young age. my mom told me big bird stole my bottle. i didn’t buy it then, and i still don’t. everyone knows big bird lives on sesame street in new york. he couldn’t possibly have made it back from georgia in time for the next morning’s show.

look at those piggies. don’t you just wanna chase ’em to market?

a beautiful moment: dad arrives home from work to greet his excited boy. okay, so he doesn’t look that excited. hey, after ten months it’s easy to start taking some things for granted.

…and there go the feet! what amazing balance!

wasn’t it great to be a kid? there’s nothing like a mother’s comfort.
