Pictures and Stories









Fox is getting more squirrelly, opening his eyes and looking around at the world more. He also has some amazing skills. For example, he can pee on his own back. We have no idea how he pulls off this feat, but he's done it twice. Maybe he'll be a magician!

Fox has been enjoying being read to. Just this week Daddy was reading him Death of a Salesman, a play with a lot of lessons for an 8 day old (if you walk into a jungle, when you walk out, by God, you might be rich!).

He's starting to sleep in his crib, which is good for Mommy. He still wants to be held all the time, but if he's asleep he's willing to stay asleep on his own.

Sue Ellen Mischke still doesn't like him much (she's barely condescended to observe his existence), but she's started to follow Joe around again, which is good for everybody. She seems to weigh more than double what Fox weighs.

All in all, Fox is doing very well at home, and still getting people to visit him and watch him sleeping. When he gets older, he might get annoyed that people are watching him sleeping (it's offputting), but for now he's OK with it, and most other people seem OK with it too.
