Longing~for~bubbles~Noah killed me ded. So sweet to see the twins chomping side by side.

I really like my co-workers, but their need to start every day by bitching and complaining is just too much. They've been kvelling for an hour, and because of the cubicles, my only respite is to put on my earphones and turn the music way up.

Oh, and if you happened to find a cellphone and then it rang, would you pick up?

I find them all the time (oh, students), and I never know what to do -- I mean, it could be the person who lost it, but on the other hand, if it's not, then I feel like I'm really invading their privacy. Ack.

From The Onion: Obama, Clinton, McCain Join Forces To Form Nightmare Ticket

The candidates said they had not yet decided who would fill the offices of president, vice president, and a new post the nominees are calling "the middle president." They did, however, confirm that each would choose his or her own full cabinet, would be able to veto any bills the others sign into law, and would reserve the right to cast the tie-breaking, tie-making, and tie-rebreaking votes in the Senate.

...

At the top of the platform is a military strategy calling for the phased withdrawal of .000006 brigades from Iraq and Afghanistan every seven months over the next 350 years. Universal health care would also be provided, taken away on McCain's birthday, and then provided again only to those wealthy enough to afford it. Abortions would be made available on every other even-numbered Friday from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. EST to all women who can prove residency in Alaska or Nevada. And an entirely new immigration policy will be instituted, sources said, as soon as the candidates can stand to be in the same room with one another for more than five minutes.

I was going to say the same thing as Burrell re: self-feeding. Dylan will self-feed finger food until the cows come home, but considers spoons to be primarily useful for making loud banging noises on the table. Oh, and you can also use them to fling food onto the floor. Mommy makes funny noises when you do that! Hahaha!

Flickr won't let me see the adorable Noah pics. BOO.

it could be the person who lost it, but on the other hand, if it's not, then I feel like I'm really invading their privacy. Ack.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Yeah, even self-feeding non finger foods is okay (baby + "finger fed" yogurt = giant mess). But the OT said we need to get him to use the spoon and self-feeding is huge. Blah blah blah.

She also said no regular sippy cups, only the kind with a straw. Do you know how hard it is to get a kid to understand how to use a straw?

I am with meara, Kristen, ita WRT Cristina. I love her and Bailey, so it's tough to continue watching when they were both shunted. I think they've done a really good job of rehabbing George these past few episodes after the disastrous relationship with Izzy. Though it's weird that he never has scenes with his ex-ish wife! And really, I want them to stop pandering to teh gays!

I always love the Noah and Grace pictures, but for some reason this latest batch is seriously killing me ded. Twins! Hands! Scrunched-up giggling faces and big goggling eyes of amazement!

baby + "finger fed" yogurt = giant mess

Oh yes. Baby + oatmeal + fingers = early bathtime.

But the OT said we need to get him to use the spoon and self-feeding is huge. Blah blah blah.

That seems weird to me because I'd always read that most kids don't really start using utensils until closer to 18-24 months. But I'm not an OT, I guess.
