There ain't no swimming in my show.

We have a waterbaby who rules her watery domain with cuteness. The pictures in this blog are dedicated to more Bugsly water-soaked action and a special treat at the end for those who believe my hair is really more of a helmet than anything (specifically my high school and college chum, Mike Zwieg, who to this day talks about how my hair was the exact shape of a old school round bike helmet when I would wake up in the morning).

So Bugsly has her one year birthday coming up. She thinks that is pretty cool beans. She's been eyeing up gifts, dropping hints, and playing cute. Of course she is having herself a wicked cool party, complete with baby friends and other assorted riff-raff. Great-Grandma Lienhardt, Grandparents Bloom, and Grandparents Penly-Garner are making their way down for the gala, which we expect to be a good time. Mel and I have been working on the house, specifically Zoa's room, to get it ready for Grandparent Terry to help finish some trimwork that we decided we didn't like. Melanie is done with classes and is at home this week, which makes getting the house ready for Lady Swinebottom's debutante ball much easier. We even purchased the world's cheapest badminton set for an attempt at lawn sports during the party (now that Jarts are off the market because some stupid kid somewhere was impaled with one during the 1980's).

Miss Zoa has been inching (centimetering for metric lovers) closer to walking this past week. She can stand on her own for at least ten seconds and can gently lower herself down to the ground when bored of the starts of bipedalism.

Ok, this post was more about the new video which can be seen at:
