Marching For (and With) Babies.

Out of sheer enthusiasm, I've started a team to do the March for Babies walk in early May. I originally named the team "TdukkaMan & Wylet," them being a) the resident babies (um, Wilson and Violet) and b) funny names.

But then I talked with Josh, who had much better ideas on good team names. Here are his:

1) A Fistful of Babies
2) For a Few Babies More
and, the winner,
3) The Good, the Bad and the Babies.

Goooooo babies!

Hi, Dada!

I am happy to report that Violet is speaking. Yes, she's under 8 months old, but yesterday she clearly said "Hi, Dada". Well, actually, she said, "HahahahihihihihiHIDADAdadadadadadababababa", but given that she's a tiny baby, I don't think the context is really that important.

In any case, baby babbling is totally cute and fun to listen to. Sometimes Nicole and I lay in bed and listen to her have these conversations with herself over the baby monitor.

Christmas Childrens

For everyone who hasn't quite gotten their fill of Christmas, here are a few pictures of Violet and Wilson and some family (we kind of dropped the ball on present-opening pictures this year; you can thank me later).
