Until I have the babies (I can do this in my 50′s, right?) I shall live vicariously through the babies of friends and loved ones! And so, CONGRATULATIONS! to my sweet cousin Ella, on her new son, Daniel Thomas Bray Rice. Daniel being a family name – after her Dad, my Mom’s brother, and the name of my brother as well. Well played, Ella.  Love to you, and can’t wait to meet him!

Congratulations, Bekah! On the train to work, you successfully named your unborn child. (Not in that ‘I am currently carrying child’ sort of way, but in that way that I have a child, in theory, in the future, who should probably have a name.) Congratulations, Bekah, on your weirdness. She will be named Ramona! After Ramona Quimby, and the funny leasing agent you’ve been working with this week who keeps telling you she’s going to shoot you. She thinks this is funny, and so do you, a little bit.

Children:

Today, we will be looking at cute pictures of Other People’s babies, because we think babies are amazing but are so so so not ready to have them yet, so we will fill this want with pictures. Of other People’s amazing babies.

Why are these pictures so small? a) I don’t understand the internet, they just are and B.) Babies are small.

Julius, son of Pippin:

AHH! Stop it, Julius. Just stop it. And, Max Powers, son of Steve’s good friends, Christy and Jason Powers:

Max also has his own facebook page.

Touche, babies.

As stinky cabs wisk by, dangerously close: Manhattan Dad to annoying, persistent toddler trying to wear carseat as a hat: DO NOT WEAR THAT AS A HAT! Toddler: WHY NOT?? Dad: I’LL TELL YOU LATER!!!!

 Then, at work, I had to research how much daycare costs in NYC – average of $9,000 a year. Oh, heck no. Maybe later.

Je beaucoup like kittens. Obviously, this kitten feels the same way about me.

first baby: ‘I’m a baby!’

subsidiary baby: ‘So am I!’

…to directly quote The Gothamist (my light; my strength; my source of terrifying and useless knowledge):

‘…..AHHHHHH!!!!!! WHAT IS THAT????’

Steve is cute. Babies are cute. Babies named Max Powers are especially cute.

Steve with a cute baby named Max Powers SMILING at him??

Um, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
