By the way

Our friend David Nahm was over today and mentioned that Freddy's looking a bit like Peter Lorre these days. And I think we have to agree.

Three Month Birthday

At three months old, lots of things become easier for the infant -- holding up his head, using his hands, outlining for his federal jurisdiction exam, but among all the developmental milestones for Freddy, beginning to laugh has been his parents' favorite so far. Of course, there is such a thing as giggling TOO hard. Check out the boy in action . . .

Where Has Turkmenbaby Gone?

I suppose it's happened before. Even the most extreme and ruthless of tyrants can get soft in their old age: Yasser Arafat, Muammar Khaddfi, Kevin Federline. Turkmenbaby joins their ranks these last few weeks, showing an almost sweet and humane side by often sleeping through the night and making irresistable cooing sounds and goo-goo eyes at his family members. Maybe it was prompted by the humiliation of losing all the hair on one side of his head while the other side continues to flourish. Who knows. Nevertheless, regard him here on his throne, angelic and composed.





And here with GranJan, overseeing the Easter festivities.





And here, enduring a ridiculous hat.













And it even turns out it's fun to share. Here he is during his ball of a playdate with the very handsome young Jacob Boyer.



In fact, so moved by this transformation, Turkmenbaby now wants to spread the amazing news to the world that people CAN change. Freddy, you are an inspiration.

I mean really. Is there anything cuter?
