Splendor in the Grass

Walking with Pop-Pop

Actually ... I'm not sure what that movie's about, so maybe this title is inappropriate for a picture of a toddler taking a walk with her grandfather? But I don't know how else to describe this. I love my kid, and I love that she loves everybody, and I love that she never gets tired of doing things, any old things, with people who are important to me.

Also? Next time I take a picture like this, she'll probably be waist-high to my dad. She's growing like the proverbial weed -- already she's 33" tall (two-foot-nine FTW!). She's growing so much, so fast, and we can't hardly keep up. It's truly astonishing. Kids are fucking amazing. Christ on a cracker, why did we wait so long for this?

PS -- Yes, that is my Daddy wearing pink, thankyouverymuch. Real men ROCK the pink polo shirts.
