We got another nice visit from my parents this weekend but only for 1 day and night. They have 9 other "children" to worry about and don't like leaving them for a whole weekend without a cat-sitter. It was nice to have them, even for such a short visit.

Everyone loves Daddy!
Have you ever heard moms say they barely have time to shower after having a baby? I thought they were crazy, but they weren't. The challenge is really if the baby will be OK for the 10 minutes you are totally out of the picture. I even saw a debate on a website centered on whether it was even OK to leave a baby alone to take a shower! Well, I've solved it! I put Cyrus in the bathtub (in his little bath tub) while I take a shower...PERFECTO!
Voila...a clean mommy and baby come out at the same time! :)
Even after only2 weeks of not seeing him, Cyrus has changed a lot, according to my parents. He's much more interactive and interested in his environment now. Here they are marveling at all his new skills (eg. looking at the little flashing star on his play gym).
My dad is pretty obsessed with trying to ensure that Cyrus gets the greatest amount of cognitive development possible. I'm pretty sure he's doing just fine but try to appease my dad by showing Cyrus lots of colorful things and playing different music for him.

I love the shower pictures of you and your little fish-frog. Soon you'll have him at the pool doing some serious splashing.
Thinking about the gene pool from which Cyrus was made, it gives a new meaning to the proverbial melting pot. Let's see, American (whatever that is), Persian, Italian, Austrian, British, Scotsh-Irish, German, Polish, Ghengis, Timor, Ghajaar, Arab, Russian, Turkish, Serbo-Croatian. And, these are only the known ones. No wonder he is so handsome and well-put- together; no trace of inbreeding in his case!
On the second thought, he is likely to have other genetically-bestowed qualities. I am specifically thinking about the eventual personaliity implications of his genetic imperatives, historically speaking. Using only the notable historical highlights as the guideline, my guess is that he will be a man of great nobility, keen perception, valor, bravery, and an interesting mixture of philanthropic warrier.
No pressure Cyrus! ;-)
Funny how you only chose the good aspects of those cultures...I can think of some genocidal, imperialistic tendancies that could come from his Turkish, German British, and Serbo-Croatian background, no?

"Philanthropic warrier" is a very loaded phrase that can accommodate your notorious nemeses, Shirin.
