Śūnya No Longer
13 February, 2010Congratulations on turning one year old today, Veda! When you get a little older, we can talk about the history of zero, which I guess you technically were up until now.
It’s kind of fascinating… The ancient Olmecs may have been the first to use your previous age, perhaps around 36 BCE, though it’s debatable whether [...]
UP AND RUNNING
10 January, 2010On seeing your daughter take her first steps, just a few tentative tumbles toward her mom right there on the living room rug, you don’t feel proud nearly so much as happy for her.
You’ve done it, Veda. After 11 months, and so much learning, so much falling, you can walk.
Unlike your birth, and your first [...]
Merry Christmas 2009
25 December, 2009A little backseat holiday caroling from your little friend Veda.
Enjoy, and if I don’t talk to you before New Year’s, have a happy start to 2010 too.
Now it’s time to get back to more merriment and food and gift-giving and food and family togetherness and food.
Merry Christmas!

23 November, 2009There are other good videos from this weekend, including one in which Tom proposes to Niki, and she accepts, at the Marine Corps Ball Saturday night, but I’m not sure they’d want me posting that one just yet. So we’ll just stick to the basics for now.
Veda, crawling, cutely.

Such a Nice Girl
5 November, 2009Before Veda was born, and even since, one thing that’s been on my mind a lot is how she’ll “turn out.”
I’m interested to see, of course, even though I do get a little squeamish about how I might affect the outcome. It’s much easier to imagine yourself sitting back and beholding this little person sprouting [...]

No-Goodniks
2 November, 2009A few things to bear in mind if you decide to go as the cast of Rocky and Bullwinkle for Halloween:
- Almost nobody knows who Rocky and Bullwinkle are. The show went off the air in 1973, it says here, so actually I’m not entirely sure how I even know about them.
- Even fewer people [...]

Next Up, Blogging
21 October, 2009Veda may have said her first words tonight, if this counts – we were heading out of the restaurant, and Penny told her to say “bye bye.”
After a few moments’ hesitation, Veda waved her little arm and said, clear as a bell, “Buh-baaah…”
We were flabbergasted and got so excited we accidentally scared the poor kid. [...]
