The parents aren't considering "FTK" then?

FTK: I Didn't answer your questions because it beats the hell out of me.

PaV: I suppose for me to be pried away from what I do to focus long and hard on that particular problem would take, quite honestly, hundreds of thousands of dollars to begin to pique my interest.

Thanks all.  "Sophia Ellen" seems to have taken the lead in the minds of the parents (but, then, what do they know).  A very healthy, wriggling, wide-eyed, fist-and-finger munching, hungry, tiny-squeak emitting little munchkin.

Note the "i" in Sophia, at least!

Congratulations, grampa pinhead!

You get to spoil her and then hand her back to the 'rents. :-)

Sophia Ellen ("Wisdom" and "The Bright One") is a beautiful name.

Edit: Ellen, cognate of Helen.

Thanks for the additional good wishes!

The pinhead cranium is mostly a function of head-binding, under the supervision of the clan mothers.  That's a process that won't start immediately and tends to vary from generation to generation.

At the moment, she's far too beautiful for cultural modification!

Congratulations to mother and baby and grandparents.....and also the father. But as I have learned the father comes waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the list.

Bitter? Me? Never!

Taking the piss out of myself? ....Perhaps!

Anyway, I am sure the F1 Pinheads will have a great time with the F2 Pinheadette. And the F0 Pinhead can have the great, vengeance filled joy of handing the F2 Pinheadette back to the F1 Pinheads with the immortal words:

"I'm sorry, your daughter appears to have filled her nappy. This is really, really, REALLY your problem. Enjoy!"

Congratulations again.

Louis

P.S. As for names. Why bother? They don't come when you call them. Just call her "Oi YOU!" for a few years until she's developed a bit more. What? WHAT? That's a perfectly legitimate parenting technique!

Congrats, Grandpa Pinhead!

Quote
   When I talk to people about what makes us human, some people say it's our tears. Because we are the only ones who weep, only we can feel true sorrow.

When I hear this, I remember Isiro's face, her anguished eyes as she cried for Mikeno, how she screamed at the keepers with her teeth bared and pushed at the poles. How she dashed back to his body and dug her fingers into his chest as if the strength of her grip could bring him back.

There is sorrow without tears. Of course there is. - Vanessa Woods, Bonobo Handshake.

"Children", my mother used to tell me "are their grandparents' revenge".

Congratulations. I'm a bit disappointed nobody thought of a nice Irish girl's name like Gobnait* Concepta** or Sophie***




* Pronounced gub nit. Common in Co. Kerry.

** Pronounced Septa! C'meeyah an lookah de airse on dis fella!. Vulgar Common in North Dublin

*** Pronounced EwMyGawd Sewfy. Nawt, loik, common at allll? But Daddy droives a big Beemer? And always speaks in, loik, questions?

Congratulations to you and the parents.

I'm not good at coming up with names.  Given the computer geek that I am, I would probably name her Ubuntu or something.

Again, thanks for all the kind words!

Changing the odd nappy won't bother me all that much (though, to be sure, I'm glad not to have the frontline duty).  After raising three boys, I'll just be glad not to be fountained with pee during the changing...!

And I don't think Sophia is all that far from Sewfie, at all, at all...

Though I realize she won't be able to go skiing or climbing or frisbee-throwing with me for a few years, still, Sophia's impendency has challenged me to get back into shape over the summer and early fall.  Still, just "having" my first grandchild at 60 will be a lasting challenge to stay sharp physically, mentally (always a chore for Teh Pinhead), and technologically.

I'll be looking for you younger AtBCers to keep me on my toes!

I tried to friend her on Facebook but couldn't find her. What's up with that?

Heh.  Give her a day or three.

I haven't yet had a chance to work in typing instruction between feeding intervals (and other necessary maintenance)...

I guess that's OK.  As long as she knows how to find the area under a curve by the time she's five.

Congrats.  They are ridiculously cute when new, but I'm loving that my two girls are both speaking now.  My four year old asked me, very seriously, the other night: "Why is the moon in cartoons yellow, but my moon is white?"
