Training Manuals

A sampling of the training materials we'll be studying in the weeks and months to come.

Apologies for the lack of photos of me, but you really don't want to put a camera where I'm currently residing. Give it another few weeks, and you'll be sick of all the photos of me.

And that's when Baby Gap will hire me.

Faces of Birth

We approximated my parents' birth experiences based on this diagram given in birth/flight class. If these are my wingmen on this mission, I may need to prep better.

On a side note, is it just me, or would my Mom not look just like the egg lady in the labor diagram if she cut her hair?

The Showering of Me a Complete Success

Yesterday's gathering in my honor was, if I may say so myself, a smashing success. Many excellent people (whom I hope to someday have the honor of meeting in person) gathered at the beautiful home of Karen and Ralph Gidwitz for an afternoon of food, drinks, gifts, and sunshine.
Very special thanks go not only to Karen & Ralph for housing all of these delinquents, but to my parents' dear friends Ryan & Josh Gutierrez (and their devastatingly handsome son Owen-- watch yourself Owen, because I'll be chasing you around soon enough) for their generosity and hard work in hosting this fantastically good time. My Aunty Vanissa worked her magic from across the country in NYC, and we all missed her presence yesterday, but a big thank you goes to her as well for her excellent work.
Below are just a few photos from the event itself. My folks, with the assistance of my Grandma Eda, put together a few take-home cookie treats, which you see at the top. The rest are just a small sampling of some of the partygoers. Many more photos exist, and will undoubtedly surface shortly, but these are all you greedy little monkeys get for the time being.
Thanks to everybody for making the shower awesome!

Flight/birthing class numero dos takes place this afternoon. Can't forget my aviator sunglasses.

The Essentials Pt. 2, The Essentials Strike Back

Another sampling of the gear my parents (and their very generous friends and family- Thank You!) are amassing for me. I'm not all that psyched about the vast amount of pink stuff, but at least they got that jet pack I was talking about. Combine that bad boy with that fuzzy pink jumper with the ears on the hood? Watch out. The moon boots ought to come in handy as well... as soon as I start walking.

Back to training on those punching bags my Mom calls kidneys. Flight/birthing classes start on Sunday. Happy weekend everybody!
