Yowzers! Make a self-deprecating comment and get thrown on to the proverbial couch.

Anyway, so now the pictures are finally flowing (see Shannon's post below). Now, as you can see, we have the the lovely Alexa as she poses ever so politely and dignified for the camera (take a look at those georgeous eyes of hers), and the World Famous Timothy the Magnificent working on his latest masterpiece. Note the hues, the tones, the brushstrokes. Note the mixture of reds and blues...in his mouth after tasting the yummy crayon. Well, ok, it is not in this picture, but this was our experience at a Mexican food restaurant recently.

So, last night Alexa made Dad's day. She clearly said "hhrruh!" And we all take that as clear articulation if, "Hi Daddy!" That's Daddy's little girl. Of course, she is really attached to her mom. (Audience participation: "How attached is she?")

She is so attached that whenever mom leaves the room Alexa (who still can't crawl) rolls in the general direction that mom went and has an expression on her face as if to say, "Oh no you don't!"

Tim was a riot at Grandma and Grandpa's place (I should say, the Phoenix-based Grandma and Grandpa). It was Open House and the Improv where Timothy was raising the roof.

He saw a family picture of the four of us and is now able to distinguish between picture and person. He was walking around for...ever looking at the picture, pointing to it and saying, "Daddy!" Then he would look at me and say, "Daddy!" Then back and forth over and over. He was so proud of himself.

He then shifted to Mom ("Mommy!" in the picture and "Mommy!" in real life), and "lil' girl" which is what Mom frequently calls Alexa and Timothy emulates to the pitch!

He was also rooting for James Bond to beat the bad guys (hey, prove to me he did not!)

Look out Larry King, the better man is coming to take your job away...
