never gonna stop the rain by complainin'

Okay, enough turgid, navel-gazy whining. Didn't someone in the comments tell me not to put more baby pictures here? So guess what you're gonna get? That's right, more baby pictures!

I don't know why this one fascinates me, but it's Tessa and Dana in November, and then again in April. Babies are inside, and then they're outside. Bizarre.

Another patented Foto Rekreation™ by yours truly. The first is my grandpa holding me in 1967, the one below is Lucy's grandfather holding her. Funny how none of the same people are in both pictures, yet the relationship is exactly the same. Or maybe I'm overthinking. Note Steinway piano in both shots:

Oh yeah. Did I mention that our daughter is not going to take it, nay, she is not going to take it?

We have a tiny 2' by 8' fire escape terrace out back, and while Lucy and I were talking, a rainstorm swept through Brooklyn. I was going to take her in, but she became fascinated by the raindrops hitting her face. Mom took some pics of us without us knowing.

I managed to capture an image of her smiling last week, but I'd given up hope of ever taking a picture of her gargantuan bellows of abject delight. And this was just luck, but I snapped the shutter at just the right time. Man, when she does this, I want to move mountains just to see it again.
