No! Don't feed the baby to the Crocodile!

This beautiful sling was handmade in Bolivia by a group of women who work with Etta Projects. We've gotten a lot of comments on it.

The Crocodile is part of the Australian Exhibit at the National Aquarium here in Baltimore.
We went down there with Emily's parents over the Thanksgiving Holiday.

It's been a little while. Blogger has had some problems when we put up more than one post in a day, which leads to us skipping posting.

Here's a picture of Aeneas with Uncle Carl. You'll note a fair resemblance between the two.

The Turner Clan down at the Harbor.

  

Mother and Child in the Morning.

 

Granddad Bill. You've been blogged. 

 

He's out. 

 

Happy, Yuppy Baby. 

 

Saturday morning Papa time. 

 

Happy Birthday Papa!!! 

 

It's papa's birthday and election day! Aeneas says: "Yay for Nancy Pelosi!" Cayenne says: "No more Santorum!" Jared says: "Did I really just get an electric toothbrush for my birthday?" 

 

I bet you think he's cute with his eyes open, don't you? You're all glad he's woken up I bet. Well, it's not cute when he squeaks all night, sleeps all day and then wants to wake up again once we want to sleep! 

1st Bath. This boy apparently doesn't like to be naked and in the sink! But he does have some healthy lungs.

 

This is what Aeneas looks like when he's happy. Why is he so happy? Because his 1st bath is over! 

 

That's right. He's super cute AND he's wearing a pumpkin hat. 

 

Look! An Autumn treasure! 

 

Baby's first doctor's visit. He lost an ounce in 4 days. They tell us that's normal for breast-fed babies. His brown fat is getting used up to keep him warm - this fat contains the protein UCP-1 which uncouples the process of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria so that mitochondria make heat instead of ATP. I learned something in medical school! 

 

The tree outside our house. This is probably as good as B-more is gonna get. Beautiful Autumn Foliage and temps in the upper 60's. 

  

 

It's a little hard to make out on the web transfer, but this is a note from John Suarataino (sp?) a carpenter who worked on our house in November of 1941. The note gives his name & address as well as a nice short note "Congratulations to You & Good Luck". We found it today as we were converting a closet space into a spot for a new subsized washer & dryer.
