Hi

.
It would be ridiculous to suggest that a 2-month old baby can say "hi."

That said...

Cal James is a 2-month old baby. And he can say "hi."

.

Who wants to play charades, again?

.
Cal does.

So much, that he was willing to inflict harm upon himself just to get a game going.

The category (we're assuming) is:

Literary Characters

Anyone?

By the way (just to preempt any inquisitive comments and/or calls to Child Protective Services), Yes. That gouge is the result of his overgrown fingernails. Which are the result of maternal neglect.

It's not that I'm lazy. It's just, if you think I'm going to take a steel clipping blade to such a moving little target, think again my friend.

You First Leah

.
It's been interesting to watch Jolie discover that little sisters, while frequently aggravating, are great to have around because they make for excellent lab rats.

Maybe that's why our Leah is so daring. She seems to accept her role - To walk through the fields of life before Jolie, just to make sure there aren't any land mines.

Today, another example.
.

Needless to say, Jolie opted out.

Good work Leah.
