Parents, please don't let your children eat this....



Ok.. fun filled weekend. Our dear friends, John and Peter, Rob and Steve had a shower in honor of Tekla. The shower was originally planned back in December, but got postponed for obvious reasons. 

The party was great, featuring a terrific cake..

Fun, silly games including who could finish a "drink" out of a baby bottle the fastest... I hate to admit this, but my jaw hurt afterwards, and I didn't win. 

Another game we played involved tasting various flavors of baby food and trying to guess what they were. Some of them were tolerable (pears) but the absolute worse, the one that Greg called 'baby calf poop" was number 6. We discovered later that this was broccoli with carrots and cheese. I beg you... please don't feed this to your young... if you do, you should be investigated for child abuse. 

We loaded up with fantastic useful gifts and finished off the evening with my car be decorated. We got a lot of stares on the way home. 

Sunday we attended yet another baby shower. This was a combined shower with another physician that Greg works with.  Again, a great time, but a baby shower with a bunch of gay
 men can't be beat... I highly recommend them! 

Tekla is now 5 pounds 7 ozs and 17 3/4 inches long. We should have some big news tomorrow!!  I can't post about it or it will get jinxed!!

Sounds fun! I always wondered what a bunch of guys would do at a baby shower.
