The Little Girl has her first cold. She's got a cough like a 6o year old Virginia coal miner...who smokes Pall Malls...and also has a cold, along with this sort of pathetic look in her eyes that makes her dad want to resign from his current position as senior cat-herder in the attorney general's auto-theft unit in order to stay home with her indefinitely.
The interesting thing is that her untainted infant heart has not figured out the intricacies of self-pity. She's all-smiles whether she's enduring a sneeze/cough one-two punch or not. I'm quite certain that she doesn't even know she's sick. Your humble narrator, on the other hand, has been imagining symptoms of his own and preparing for several days of unmitigated woe-is-me style whimpering and avoiding responsibility.
I don't have any "sick baby" shots to go along with this post, because who really wants to see a picture of a sick baby? So, here's a video of Rye trying to eat a plush-toy frog that did absolutely nothing to provoke her.
LOVE the video! Is that a "rug" on the back of her head or what? It is difficult to tell! No matter, she is BEAUTIFUL to me!!
