To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant.

Daughter and the Nugget are both sick. Head cold, sore throat. Nugget occasionally bats at her right ear, so there may be something going on there, too. Occasional slight fever, not enough to worry about until she gets fussy tired, and that makes the congestion worse. She hates having her nose touched. Daughter is wrung out, but Nugget is nowhere near lethargic - she's still happy and active.
Daughter called early yesterday morning and asked if I could take the Nugget for two hours so Daughter could get some sleep. I ended up having the Nugget all day, until Hercules got home from work.
I have the Nugget right now while Daughter gets some sleep.

As I wrote the above sentence, a little before noon, the napping Nugget woke up. It is now 6 1/2 hours later. She stayed with me today until about 4 pm.

Flash: The idiot who shot up the White House abandoned his car a few blocks away - with his driver's license in it. Duh.

The Nugget is 6.5 months old. For about three months now, she has been standing up to be picked up. You put your hands under her arms and with just balance help, not lift, she gets her feet under herself and stands up. She weighs 20 pounds now, so her standing to be picked up is a lot easier on adult backs.
Today I was shocked to discover that standing, she already comes up to the top of my thigh. That's amazing! She's a BABY!

Napping today in Mommy's lap:
Oops, the click of the camera woke her:
