What Pat is trying to say is that Raphie has learned how to go froma sitting position to a standing one without our help. He is very proud of himself.

"do you know the muffin man, the muffin man the muffin man..."

Yea, I know that jerk...he still owes me $3....said he just needed change for a $20 and then next thing I know, he takes off to Drury Lane.

Wow it just looks wrong for such a little guy to be able to do that. Those little legs sure are strong!

I just realized that raffers looks just like me in leggins. Round in the middle and small at the bottom Only he has a much bigger head proportionaly that is. WE ARE SO CUTE...

WE ARE SO CUTE...

No, I'm sorry - this is Raphie's gallery and I can't have you mootching off his cuteness.

But my cuteness genes are what make him so cute, and more to the point they actually first came from Mama-Baba and so I am the direct genetic link to his cuteness. Alex doesn't count because she is not round in the middle and skinny at the bottom, she's just small everywhere.

she's just small everywhere

I wish.
I think you are very cute and, like Raffers, quite cuddly. Turning into a very nice Baba indeed.

But my cuteness genes are what make him so cute

I don't know about that. You can actually trace the Heard "cute" gene back 13 centuries to the mighty warrior, Alexander the Cute, who, despite being very cute indeed actually laid waste to much of Europe.

Now all that's needed to complete your transformation is some knitting needles and techni-colour yarn :]

Oooooh or some weird green things mixed with garlic, or a salad using the whole dandelion, or eye glasses in the freezer....
Come to think of it you aren't a very good Baba at all!
