Hybrid children watch the sea
A new batch of pictures is up, covering the last month or so. This is my favorite, as it shows off Dante’s recently acquired “smiling” skill, and also the awesome calamara-cephalic hat that our crafty friend Jenn was kind enough to knit for him… and, as if that weren’t enough, there’s also his Yoda robe. So cute.
For friends and family looking for baby pix, Dante features in a few moblog entries, like this one, featuring Dante wearing an outfit that says “Baby” on it. This is so users know that he is a baby. My dad pointed out an interface problem, though: when you bathe a baby, you almost always remove its clothing. How, then, does such a label enable you to distinguish baby from bathwater?
A week later, we received a bathrobe, also featuring the legend “Baby” on it, which goes about halfway to a solution.
Dad:
Cute as that hat is, I am somewhat concerned that Dante could be mistaken for a frog by a big bird or by some other wide-mouth frog predator. Presumably his AP seat has suitable countermeasures built in.

So cute! Can’t wait to meet you this weekend! Assuming I can identify you. . . .

It will be easy to identify me; with Punam engaged in bridesmaid duties, I’ll be the one with the adorable infant!
I’ve also gone back to my old buzzcut, which (no doubt) I will soon be required to inflict on my son.

I bought him his Yoda outfit. I wish I could claim credit for the Cthulhu, which is the cutest frickin’ thing ever.

Beautiful baby! Very cute hat also…do you know where your friend got the pattern for it? I would like to make one for my new grandson if it’s available. ~Tricia

@Tricia: Odds are excellent that Jenn improvised that pattern, but I may well be wrong. You could get in touch with her via her Etsy page.
