Elliott has been grinning for several days now, but getting it on the
camera is hard to do! The minute I bring out
the camera, flipvideo, or my phone, he becomes distracted...
To all the people at work getting email and data from me today - this is for you. Elliott has finally resigned himself to Dad's workaholic tendencies in the most comfortable and adorable way he knows how.
Now that Elliott's cheeks are starting to chubby out, I can finally share one of the more influential quotes of his pregnancy. From the (excellent) Showtime show Dexter, an explicit conversation in which Dexter, serial killer and lab tech, tells his sister Deb, homicide detective, that his girlfriend is pregnant.
I don't expect Dan to be able to work when I email pictures like this
to him all day.
On the continuing wave of visitors travelling great distances to meet Mr. Elliott, another guest made a transcontinental flight. My sister, Diana, took an informal leave from her last year of law school to meet her first nephew. He likes her. She, like the rest of us, have no choice but to love him.
This is a follow-up from the Baer visit on Sunday. Peter reflects the entire savvy of a father who has recently made it through the first few months of fatherhood. Look at Elliott, preparing to scream. Look at Peter, calm and collected. He just continues the rocking motion necessary for Elliott to just give in and give up. I hope to look that put together some day soon.
