I find myself wondering what became of the ditz in my high school history class who, when asked what she wanted to do when she grew up, said that she wanted to become a psychologist so she could help the poor distraught people.

Yesterday at the dentist's office, one of the hygienists said, "He looks just like Leif Erikson!"

She didn't know Leif's name when she said that. I guess we chose the right name!

Leif is doing great! He loves standing, and can now stand up almost on his own (just needs a little boost to get started and something to hold onto for balance). He's very close to being able to sit up on his own - he can manage for a few seconds at a time, until he gets distracted and falls down. He babbles a lot, and is starting to shriek with joy when he's happy, which is a bit hard on the ears, but still fun to hear. He's also learned how to cough, and spends a lot of time fake coughing.

At his doctor's appointment on the 29th, he weighed 15.5 pounds.

We're really looking forward to our trip to California next week (though I'm not so sure about the plane trip!). Leif loves being around people, so he should have a blast meeting everyone.

Oooh...new Harry Potter trailer here.

Yes yes tarie, I know I'm way behind the times.

I'm curious as to what it will be like with the new director. If I remember right, the first two stuck pretty faithfully to the book - leaving things out due to length, but not adding anything in. I don't recall them sing-quoting Macbeth in the third book.

I have a copy of "Prisoner" in Spanish, which I really need to read. However, my Spanish is bad enough at this point that I need to look up about every other word. I need to find an electronic translator.

It's terribly windy outside.
