Mom had given me a few of those a couple of months back. I picked up "The Carpet Baggers" a few days ago and have been unable to stop. That book came out in 1961 and whew is it "racy". Quite a change from Harry Potter.<BR/><BR/>I am in one of those reading modes. I have also been reading some classics to the kids.jenbeautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304789117482763021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13641764.post-1124123568020520942005-08-15T12:32:00.000-04:002005-08-15T12:32:00.000-04:00Mr. Schprock - I forgot all about the first step; ...Mr. Schprock - I forgot all about the first step; this post came up way short of all the milestones. I almost didn't write it because I knew I wouldn't do it justice. My wife and I celebrated when we stood Jackson and had him take his first steps between us. You can't leave out the first "poop" in the potty chair either, but that really leaves the non-parents in the cold, doesn't it.<BR/><BR/>Jen - Thanks for the link. I'm a little behind in reading the latest in the Potter saga, but what a page turner it was.

I like your observation that humans give birth to blobs while the rest of the animal kingdom gives birth to semi-independant babies.<BR/>I was dead set against not having any more children--I mean geeze--it's been 6 years! Then I saw my sister-in-law give birth to my nephew and I was SO jealous. I was jealous that she got to nurse this little baby late at night, and bathe his little body and watch him sleep...I told my husband, we HAVE to this again. (I'm only 29).<BR/>...and we are!<BR/>Great post.
