And since he's always had a HUGE head (still 98th percentile) he's starting to look like an orange on a toothpick. It's a virtual planetoid. Has its own weather system.

I think Lillian looks like Charlie Brown with hair.

Tiny little (3% for weight, something like 5% for height) body, big old head (though it measured as average today, on account of her squirming too much for the tape to go on straight).

My one year old is 17lbs and a hair over 27".

I fear she's going to be doomed to a small, skinny childhood, and then the rude shock of puberty-induced plumpness just like her mother.

I am against mint unless it is gum or mixed with chocolate.

I like mint myself. Choc-mint is of the yum, but I think my favourite use is mint sauce to have with roast lamb. Because it involves lamb.

I had NO idea anyone else shared this degree of mint aversion. I thought I was a lone freak with a VERY tolerant dentist.

See, this is why the Internet is going to bring down society. All the freaks can find the one person on earth as freaky as they are, and suddenly they think it's perfectly acceptable. Next thing you know it's cats marrying dogs all over again.

Mint on lamb is le ick.

So says the pixie wench.

The pixie wench didn't grow up in Australia, Home of Lamb. You have no idea of my comfort level in ignoring your opinion on this issue.

Oh fine, pull the race card.

everyone's a little bit racist...

I am perfectly responsible around fire. I keep a very close watch on it. There's never any danger.

Though, in my defense, now that I have a fireplace, I have far fewer candle infernos and no lanterns over my bed anymore. Fire pretty.

Oh fine, pull the race card.

Pfft. Australian isn't a race, it's a Platonic Ideal.

Mint + lamb = so good, it ought to be illegal. Yum.

Speaking of Australia...

Kylie's looking damn swell in her post-chemo pics. [link]

Where damn swell = Hec's grinning like a wolf in his sleep and doesn't know why.

Short hair really suits her face.

Stupid movie. Love it brainlessly

♥ JohnSweden totally.

She may be wee, but she clearly has a personality big as all outdoors.

I don't know what Mal's going to do growth-wise. He's got this gargantuan cranium, and really big hands and feet, and has had since birth. I keep waiting for him to grow into them.

Maybe he's a sign of the Dark Future, when people really do start looking chibi or manga.

Because it involves lamb.

My life is full of lamb this week. Everyone in the country will be grilling a whole one this weekend for Easter. I'm holding myself to a Garlic Roast Leg of Lamb with apple-mint sauce.

Wow. I had no notion that Kylie had breast cancer - I am so out of the loop wrt Western Pop Culture stuff.
