Strangely appealing

Want to see some pictures of fetal animals?  They’re not gross formaldehyde fetal pigs or anything.  I have no idea how these pictures were taken, but I’m going to assume it was through some kind of awesome ultrasound technology because other potential methods are sad.

They’re really cute.

No hands

The title is not quite accurate.  He still has hands.

Miles has been getting quite a thrill out of letting go of whatever he was leaning on while he stands up.  I got some video of it but I haven’t imported it yet.  I probably should do that, since the memory card in the video camera is getting full.  I’ll add that to this post shortly.

ETA:  Here you go.  It’s about 2 minutes of Miles madness.

Mubby and Skittergramps are helping me this weekend while Denny is out of town at Trivia.  The is the second Trivia in a row I’ve missed, which is a shame, but it just seemed impossible to take Miles on a six-hour drive in the winter to Wisconsin.  Maybe next year.

You’ve got to admit it’s getting better

Today, on Jessa’s suggestion, Denny and I came in and played for 10 minutes or so before we left for work.  That worked pretty well.  Miles seemed to do fine while we were there, though he got a little weepy when we left.  That tells me something I knew already but hadn’t actually witnessed:  he likes being there and has fun; it’s just separation that’s the problem.

Also, have you noticed that separate is a word people misspell really often?  Also, misspell.

Miles apparently has door trauma.  He associates it with us leaving.  The other day he was doing fine, but when Jessa got up and locked the door, he remembered that the door is used for leaving and got upset.  This time she locked it from the inside while we were still there, in such a way that we could get out but she wouldn’t need to go fiddle with it again.  That was a thoughtful gesture.

Okay, believe it of not, I have work to do.  I get to analyze the D2L license and perhaps even pay it.  Do you ever lie around and dream about having such an exciting life as mine?
