Old (Bearded) Man River

Bathtime is Maceo's favorite time of day. Recently, we discovered he has a favorite subcategory of activity within his favorite time of day: dipping his face in the bath bubbles. He was tentative at first, oh, yes, they all are when they don't yet know not to inhale when their faces are submerged, and he would pop his face up out of the water with only a little goatee of suds on his chin. But then, oh yes, then, he got much more aggressive....

Maceo And Julian Race!

Our friends Julian (9 months), Eben (age uncertain, but old enough to buy beer), and Erin (about the same age as Eben) live up the street. (You might remember them from such blog posts as "Octoberfest.") In any case, yesterday, we all wandered up to a brewery in the neighborhood which has started selling growlers on Saturdays. A growler is a 64 ounce bottle of beer.

We bought a few and then took the kids home to have a few beers. This turned into baby races. And Julian cheats.

Destructor!

Maceo has learned to crawl forward, and his favorite thing to do is go around the living room to topple towers of blocks. Here, then, is a study in the terror of a crawling destructive force released on the world of our blocks.

Funny, but sad...
