What a great picture! Though I have to disagree with Teppy's comment on flickr -- it is my considered opinion that that is not too much cute, but in fact a deliciously optimal and ideal amount of cute.
Matilda has been cuterating at great intensity lately; she's full of hugs and happy babble and pressing her cheek to your mouth for kisses (and sometimes grabbing your ears and then pushing your mouth away, then back, then away, then back, for kisses times infinity), and this morning she tried to hop on the bed. Her bed-hopping consists of:
(1) Stand
(2) Hold up one finger
(3) Count down from, well, something (counting=saying "Zhwoo. Zhwoo. Zhwoo!")
(4) Elevate entire body a millimeter or so
(5) Sit down hard
(6) Laugh your ass off
It is just slightly made of awesome, and goes a long way toward making up for the sleep dep (except that I'm now trained to wake up at 4 a.m. all tense and waiting for the screaming, even when she sleeps through the night without a peep. The auto-rising at 4 can stop anytime now, please).
Also, from way upthread, Aimee being all three years old at Em is the second-funniest thing I've ever read, but only because TomW being all three years old at Nora is even funnier.
Cutie Dylan!
I scanned some old family pics and put them on Flickr [link] How adorable was my dad????
Gloomcookie, your dad is a total boo! (No, really, it's a very good thing to be a boo! There is almost no higher praise chez Zmayhem!)
Oh, I love seeing old photos on Flickr! I need to make a trip back to my grandmother's house and steal a few more shoeboxfuls before they're lost.

Especially if you hear that exchange in TomW's voice.
Yeah, this was definitely a big part of getting through Sara's first year.
I know we have a scanner, somewhere, that we've never used. I want to set it up, because I have great pictures of my grandparents, and my parents as kids and teenagers, and the hard copies are worse for the wear.

Right??? I just want to pinch his little cheeks!
Em went to class with me last night and was such. a. ham. She performed "Doe a Deer" and "Tomorrow" for my classmates during our break. Complete with choreography and grand hand gestures. She was HIGH-larious. Also, she kept following Mary, my prof, around, complimenting her. "I like your shoes. I'm glad you're here. I like your flowers on your shirt."
Sara's entire babyhood is killing me ded. Ded, I tell you.
Way to suck up to the prof, Em.
The level of cuteness in this thread this morning is definitely lethal.
