Wouldn't that have been a great birth-announcement headline? Ah, if only we had time for such things as birth announcements.
I had made a conscious decision that putative.coom wouldn't become a baby blog, but then again maybe a baby blog is better than a never-updated blog. So here's a mix, with a recent cute Silas waking-up pic:

The new wonderful thing about young Master H? He started smiling, which let me tell you after a couple months of his (relatively) quiet, inexpressive baby-as-humbow state is pretty exciting:

Aw, shit, I can't believe I just said I was excited about him smiling. Watch out: It's a baby blog! Sorry, Si, if you're reading this in the apocalyptic future on the Archivonet. I did try to hold out on posting pics.
I think that "Let me tell you about my baby" is second only to "Let me tell you about my character" in the interest/disinterest disparity between speaker and listener.
I mean unless you're a baby nerd like myself.

I can't think of a better subject to write about, honestly! Keep it coming. He is crazy cute and the smile makes all the difference. :)

Wait, your baby was a humbow? I can hardly wait 'til he moves on to the Thanksgiving turkey stage, smiling or otherwise.
With the HB-PH genes, I doubt he'll ever reach a reasonable comparison to a side of beef, but my rancher has made the statement that his pigs remind him of kids. So there's his goal: approximate size of a hog.
