Went to Lincoln Park Zoo for the first time with Glenn.  He saw some animals, but I don’t think he really gets it yet.
 I think he will enjoy it more when he can really walk, and not be stuck in the stroller all the time.  It has been about 2 years since we have been there.

Took some good photos, like the gorilla below.

One thing is for sure, you could not pay be enough money to live in that area, with all the congestion and traffic.  Even at 9:30 A.M. with most of the buildings not open yet, it was still busy.

I know they are harmless, but they sure are gross looking.

“Luckily” my trusty Olympus captures ever nuance of these rather large bugs.  All hail the super macro mode. 
I am glad the cicadas only come out every 17 years.  They are very very loud, to the point your ears will ring after about 30 minutes of exposure.  Jet engine loud.  Freight train loud.  I’ll try to get some good audio next week when I go for my lunch walk.

Peed on for the very first time.
While getting Glenn Monster ready for his bath/shower, the little guy decided to empty his baby bladder on me.
It feels just like you think, a little, warm stream of baby pee.

We now bathe him with someone in the tub, today it was me holding him.  He went a second time in the tub with me holding him.  Not quite as exciting a second time.

I have to say, I really don’t get the golden shower fetish people.  It’s really not that thrilling.  It’s warm and wet, but it gets cold really fast and has that fun urine smell.   To each his/her own, I guess.

Glenn is 11 months old today!
Due to the pain in the assness of doing and organizing photos by week, I am switching to a monthly format.
So, enjoy Glenn, May 2007.

I know I have only been on this Earth for 33 years, and childhood may of skewed my perspective, but here is what noticed about the local weather and how it has changed since I was a child:

• It used to be COLD on Halloween, like snowing cold, wish I had a polar bear costume cold.   2 years ago year we were low on candy and I walked to the local drug store in SHORTS.  It was 75+ degrees.  Last year it was in the 60’s. 
• We used to get rain here.  All day rain, or at least for a few hours.  Now it just comes in downpours for about 10 minutes and just stops.
• It used to be snowy/cold around Christmas.  Now, we rarely get snow before January, if at all.
• November used to be a cold and bitter month, now it rarely gets below the 50’s.
• We used to have April showers and May flowers.  In April it rained about 3 days this year.  Similar last year.  It downpours in May now.
• Trees bud earlier and loose their leaves about a month earlier and later now.

Let me know if you have noticed any changes in your lifetime.  It is a local event, or it is worldwide?
