Boy loves his capes! And his action figures!
I kept thinking "oh, I love the series of.." and came to the conclusion that it was all of them. Except the surgery ones. That made go OW POOR NOODLE.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Experiments you can conduct on your baby:
How do children learn to count?
How do children learn to count? You could imagine that numbers are words, and children learn them like any other word. (Actually, this wouldn't help much, since we still don't really understand how children learn words, but it would neatly deflect the question.) However, it turns out that children learn to count in a bizarre fashion quite unlike how they learn about other words.
If you have a baby and a few years to spend, you can try this experiment at home. Every day, show you baby a bowl of marbles and ask her to give you one. Wait until your baby can do this. This actually takes some time, during which you'll either get nothing or maybe a handful of marbles.
Then, one day, between 24 and 30 months of age, your toddler will hand you a single marble. But ask for 2 marbles or 3 marbles, etc., your toddler will give you a handful. The number of marbles won't be systematically larger if you ask for 10 than if you ask for 2. This is particularly odd, because because by this age the child typically can recite the count list ("one, two, three, four...").
Keep trying this, and within 6-9 months, the child will start giving you 2 marbles when asked for, but still give a random handful when asked for 3 or 4 or 5, etc. Wait a bit longer, and the child will manage to give you 1, 2 or 3 when asked, but still fail for numbers greater than 3.
This doesn't continue forever, though. At around 3 years old, children suddenly are able to succeed when asked for any set of numbers. They can truly count.

Such a gorgeous smile on Mac!! You'll have to swat the girls offf with a broom in a few years.
I'd rather look at kill-me-ded-with-teh-cute pics than tempt myself with things I really shouldn't be buying before I do my Christmas shopping. I made the mistake of googling Waterford Christmas ornaments (which I have a very small collection of) and found one I really really want, and a few that I'd love as well.

Experiments you can conduct on your babyMy sister should totally give me one of the twins. I want to try this and she's got a spare.

All the experiments I want to do on babies are totally unethical. For example, raise a group of babies in a completely isolated environment with robots that don't speak, to see what kind of culture they come up with....
