It's incredible how much of their "personality" is already there even at that early stage. But wow, talk about purple teeth! I most certainly did, Steve.

I can send that compliment right back to you! Check out Jo's poetry on her blog . . . it always makes my day. Maureen and KatieZ . . . as great as it was to experience, I actually prefer to drink wine from a bottle, when it's good and ready for me. Maybe someday I'll have the palette to discern all the various nuances in infant wines (and I did get better as the tasting wore one). But for now, when they're that young, my senses start to feel a bit assaulted ;-). And Katie . . . I'm serious about getting a spitting primer up here! Thank you Jo . . .

I'd never heard of tank tasting - but, obviously, it's something that has to be done! I'm no good at spitting, either...must practice! How interesting!
