Halloween costume for baby

[this post was created May 11, 2007, but I've been meaning to put it in since last halloween]

You know that soft spot on top of a baby's head (the fontanelle)? Ok, hold that picture in your mind.

You've seen those mylar drink pouches with a straw that you punch thru a prepared opening?

Ok. Imagine a baby costume where the baby is a drink pouch, with just their head sticking out, and a nice big straw protruding from their fontanelle.

The baby-drink-pouch should be labeled something like "Fresh Baby Brains!".

I hesitate to try to depict this with my limited photoshop skills. I just regret not doing it last year with our newborn.

Betting on my daugter's future

While waiting at the hospital before our scheduled c-section, I started making some bets with my wife about our soon-to-arrive baby.

The first column is the item, the second column is how I bet, the third column is how my wife bet, and the last column is how it actually turned out.

As some of the items might take awhile before being determined, I will update this post with the new info.
