My Big Girl

Everyday things change
Everyday Eleanor does new things

1. She is almost strong enough to sit up by herself. Right now mainly with assitance or some support, she can kind of sit like adults.


when i say almost, she leans and loses it...


2. She wears pants! Usually she is in Onesies or jumpers. But now she has these pants from baby gap.


3. Her hair quality is getting a little curly or wavy. I have to admit the curly waviness comes from my genes. I usually keep my dome short and spikey, but if i let it grow, i get this asian mans wave. Not cool. If i start to bald i could definitely do the comb over thing with the slightly curly hair. HAHA.



Hehe, so yeah the joys of parenting continue.

Eleanor has filled up one photo album totally, in terms of prints.
she is checking out her own photo album... is that kind of egotistical? Well not really because thats a staged shot.


She definitely likes to stare at her hands. "Whoa look i have a hand"



Other stuff...
Phillies lost
2 games back
3 to play.

CMON SF giants. I dislike bonds, i dislike the giants, but we need them in the worst way. Good thing i didnt get the playoff tickets. They'd be souvenirs of what could have been.

What a waste, 2 innings straight, leadoff man on base
2 innings straight, double played...
Whilst you have the dodgers putting up a 19 spot on the rockies. Some no name gets 9 RBIs! Burrell doesnt have 9 RBIs in september!

I think the Phight in the Phillies is Phreakin' over. say that fast for 23 years. (thats the last time we even got a sniff of the championships)

Some people have theories as to what happened to precipitate the jinx...
1. they moved the rocky statue in 1984. Bad move.
2. they built a building taller than William Penn's Brim of the hat. Before there was an old philly blue law. Nothing is to be taller than William Penn's eye level at city hall. (He's dead! how could he make relief pitching so bad and the sixers so sucky?)
3. The MOVE tragedy. Pretty much they tried to bomb out a cult in west philly and burned like 61 houses. And tried to cover the whole thing up. Not a bright spot. To this day those houses sit empty. A whole neighborhood dead.

But for real? Its about We havent had some bill buckner move between the legs or chip norwood wide rights... Freaks of nature you could say. But we have anguish and agony. Players not performing. Other guys on other teams getting so white hot and torching us like it was their birthday... why us? Why me?

I have to give my daughter something to cherish and folllow. I don't want her to be a hapless hopeless endlessly enduring philly fan with no memories of a parade down broad street... So please, sixers, phillies, flyers, eagles. Win one for my daughter. She can't grow up following losers. Runner ups. and she ain't becoming some bandwagoner either. So it's gonna have to be one of the teams...

So for eleanor. Win, Just win.
