i actually wished people a happy father's day this year. My brother, and Geo, because of Rowan.

it was kinda nice.

I'm happy having a niece. it helps that she's beautiful, and has a full head of hair, which transmutes a suspicious lump of meat into a little person. she laughs, too. rarely cries. (partly because she follows a schedule, and if you have the bottle ready when she's about to be hungry, it derails the cryin' train. partly just because she's a sweetie.) i still find her spitting up disconcerting, but i have vomit issues. if you vomit in front of me, i will probably vomit. it's like the yawning thing, but much messier. and she is smart. i can see it in her leetle eyes. she knows what radios are (two-way) it's just that she can't talk and her hands are too weak to push the button.

Liam reads her stories from Stanislaw Lem's Cyberiad, and i really liked the one he read her while she frantically tried to roll over. once rolled over, she mostly wiggles, but she's working on it.

someday she's going to start talking. and she's gonna be a person. a little one. with a brain and a spirit and the capacity to alter the world.

it's kinda scary. makes me smile, though.

Monday night I went to my nephew's high school graduation.

Gods, I feel old.

Then again, my sis is 10 years older than me. My nephew was born when I was 15.. so... it adds up.

it does add up. when she's 18, i'll be 40.

Aw.
outlieralone says that babies have all the personality of grownups and no way but crying to let it out... it's really neat to see it start to get expressed different ways by Rowan.
