The Salad Days

I never know if their differences are because they are merely different people, or how much of it is determined by gender. Suffice to say, the boy is not even one year, and he has already greeted certain noises of the body with a belly laugh. My daughter did not do that. My daughter was always more verbal. She has always made things more complicated, and now she has taken to explaining herself a lot. The boy sits with a grin on his face, delighted merely by our presence. He's also a snuggler. Corrie was too busy looking at the world at his age to be snuggling. Jack just loves resting his head on us, and being held. Difference do to gender? Who knows? Either way, they are both a kick.

Steph and I are 2/3 of the way through the new King Kong film. While it is good so far, I am slightly at a loss as to why it garnered the very high praise that it did. The look of the film is outstanding, and I look forward to seeing KK invade Manhattan. But so far, it seems overblown and too long. More on that later.

We leave for LA on Saturday, and are looking forward to seeing our families. We hope to have an exciting trip, as well as some moments to relax!
