Baby Steps

No, she can't actually stand up on her own. She just wishes she could. I also have this terrific picture of her and Lucas holding hands in the playpen. Kids these days, they just grow up too fast.

In other news, I got a day job, as an assignment editor for the real estate section. I will also be writing regularly for a new real estate section we're adding to Sunday Business. Go read it. You know you want to know what PMI means. I will be hiring freelancer for photos, if anyone is interested in the work. That means you, Josh.

And because life isn't hectic enough, we're selling the D.C. house and moving to the 'burbs, like all the other yuppies once they have kids. Most likely Falls Church. They have all these cool, well-built 1950s Cape Cods on quarter-acre lots, and you can walk to Metro. (And Katie. Very important to be able to walk to Katie.) I consider it my duty to buy one of these houses and not tear it down to build a McMansion that crowds out every inch of the grass.

I'm suggesting this guy was excited to meet Mary's friend until he found out you weren't the more famous Ben. I find I'm delving into more and more abstract attempts at humour these days, don't mind me.

i don't see why that would affect my ego... i didn't remember previously meeting the guy when he spoke to me, nor do i remember his name now after he introduced himself to me a few days ago...

all walking paths lead to katie ...
wait, no, just the w&od trail.

i have a picture of her with lucas from when we went to the oh-so-coveted baby park in falls church. but it's pretty goofy. the one you posted is better.

this post totally reminds me that i haven't put a lucas update in my journal for a while. but if i did it now it would look like i only did it to show mary up.

it's ok, there's no comparison - 4 months is the envy of the crawling, standing, babbling 8 months. yeah, until the bookshelves come down on a baby's head.

Oh man, oh man, oh man. These are such cute pictures. So many killoggs mommies now! and daddies, too.

I have a great photographer friend from Brooklyn who's retired and looking for freelancing gig to help pay his pricey medical bills. Can I send him your way?

Adorable.

When was that post where Josh said he'd turn killoggs off if members got old enough to start posting baby pictures? Or was it that he said he just couldn't wait?
