Good baby.

[EdH]

@T4920 Not so sure about the eyes - hers are bright blue, like her mum's. Last person in my family to have blue eyes was my grandmother. But yeah, I'm with you on the brows. I just hope she doesn't get a unibrow, like I had to contend with as a kid. Got that shit lasered as soon as I was old enough.

@Matt She's understood the assignment, that's for sure!

[EdH]

Oh shit, she’s going for the GAH.

[SKT]

She has great taste already!

[AdamC]

@EdH hahaha Mills does the same, she is always taking my chain and St Christopher off the bedside table and putting it on

No advice here, just a picture of me with my four kids from my 37th birthday last week. We were on vacation in the thousand islands, New York. Fwiw I will say I’ve felt tired for about 11 years now since my first was born.

[EdH]

@AdamC Baby H wasn't trying to put it on. She was variously trying to put the pointy end into her mouth or her eyeball!

Then she discovered a wonderful game where you grab the chain, put your feet against Daddy's throat, and push/pull, and Daddy makes a funny choking noise. She laughed at that.

@EdH Don’t worry…she’ll keep working on ways of perfecting that! Mine have been trying to kill me in various ways since birth.

My sixth grade son is doing band and picked the trombone. Help. Me.

@SKT

You will definitely need one of these plus one of these:

…and some of this:

[SKT]

@goosehd this should be in kit form if not already. I actually could use some Buffalo Trace right now just thinking about it. The first sounds will be made September 5th so I have some scheming planning to do

@SKT thoughts & prayers
If memory serves me correct the sound in the early stages of trombone playing are rivaled only by clarinet - it's dying moose vs dying goose

Noise cancelling headphones have saved my kids’ lives on more than one occasion.

 ^^^^ this right here. cause erupting into berserker dad leaves a bad impression

[endo]

damn, missed that chance

Our three are all grown, our oldest getting married this weekend. My wife says things like, I'd love another. I say, it would put in a wooden over coat. On a side note, my youngest has got the Iron Heart bug, so alls right the balance is restored.

Brilliant....

[EdH]

I've never known panic like the split second yesterday while I was changing a nappy full of a particularly stinky and sticky crap, and she reached down, grabbed the corner of the soiled nappy, and tried to fling it overhead. I dropped her legs and caught her arm just in time.

I never thought I'd wish for the breast-milk poos to come back, but compared to the actual human faeces that is produced by an almost-fully-weaned diet, I'd take those any day.
