Thomas gets a passport

Many of us go our entire lives without a single stellar official photograph: driver's licenses, Costco cards, student i.d.'s - they all seem to range only from mildly embarrassing to truly awful; good for a sheepish chuckle or a wince when absolutely required then quickly shoved back into the uncritical privacy of your wallet.

Not so with Thomas. Fresh out of the chute this little charmer goes one-for-one with a passport photo sure to make nearby parents cast sad, disapproving glances at their own infants in the customs line. "Why oh why couldn't you have stopped drooling for two seconds and smiled when they were taking your passport photo, Renaldo?"

Anonymous experts have long agreed that there is a first time for everything. Does this mean that there will be a first time for a Chilean seabass to play Bach at Carnegie Hall? Probably not. And yet it doesn't sound all that pithy to say that of those things that have ever occured or ever will occur there is or has been a first time that those things occured or will occur, per se. Nope.

The other day it was Tommasino's turn to try out the swing for the first time. I don't know if he was just trying to be cool in front of the other babies, or what, but he didn't look afraid at all. Who knows, secretly maybe he was peeing himself.

Yeah, knowing him - he probably was.

Fede took this picture of the babies the other day while she was on a walk. Sofia is so full of laughter and mischief now; I wish I could bottle up these days.

I'm not sure why she chose this particular setting, but I'm sure she had her reasons. I guess congratulations are in order for Randie Nelson, Redfin, and whoever was lucky enough to get this beautiful house!

Un Messaggio di Tommasino:

The Sofias are posing here in someone's supercool mini-car. See if you can guess who the car belongs to?

O hai, i bathing. Close door now, k? thx bye.
