Chronicle of a Cuteness Foretold

It’s soggier than a baby’s diaper outside. The little one, bless her heart, noticed the overnight change in weather almost immediately and just spent ten minutes transfixed at our improbably large living room window.  She commented thus: “Dee-yee, doo-goo. Doi yoiiiiii.”

At one point she looked back at me, the wildly unkempt, coffee-guzzling creature on the couch, and repeated with new emphasis, “DOI YOI.”

“Don’t I know it, kid,” I said, shaking my head. “Don’t I know.”

But the child just smiled, bounced up and down a couple of times, and, with a fresh outlook on the thing, started slapping the window in delight.

Teeth have been cut, baths have been taken, high chairs have been purchased, and food has been eaten. Sort of.

To catch you up, here is Lily…

taking a leisurely bath,

Tub!

antagonizing a cat,

eating some egg,

Eating

basking in a sunbeam,

Naked

discovering the world outside,

Window

and taking a much-needed nap.

Best Nap Ever

That’s it for now. Could you really handle any further cuteness?

Yogurt tub + Albertson’s card + gigantic lint roller + ladle + a little bit of sunshine = happy baby.

Yeah, Yogurt Tub!

Lily’s top right tooth is on its way in, and the child is troubled by it, let me tell you.  Needy baby = busy day.  Here’s some cuteness from Lily’s visit with the maternal grandparents on Sunday, though, before all that pain began.

To caucus, to caucus, to buy a fat pig.

Home again, home again, jiggety jig.

Lily and I attended our precinct’s Democratic caucus today, in this fine church:

Our Caucus Site

It was kind of like a primary, but muggier, messier, and not the least bit secretive. Actually, I think the entire point of the caucus system is to allow we, the people, to intimidate and coerce each other toward consensus. It is absolutely punishing being the almost-lone voice of dissent in an overheated, elbow-to-elbow church-room caucus.

However, never one to be discouraged, here is Lily standing for change:

Barricaded in!

Today we spent a couple of hours over at the University of Puget Sound, hearing what Hillary Clinton has to say about such matters as health care, education, immigration, and Iraq.

Tomorrow we’ll be participating in our first caucus. The kid’s getting an early start, at least.
