Very cute. I’d really like to bite her butt, but I know that’s reserved for parental units only. ---

Holy crap–you look alot like my brother! how weird is that? she is adorable. Mine never had any hair for the longest time, either, but now they are all shaggy as can be. How old is she now? how long will she need the apnea monitor? (just curious) I bet you’re sleep deprived–have you tried counting sheep? 😃 ---

Hey! [That’s my shirt!!](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Shayla&start=60&pic=Shayla057.JPG&picindex=56) :eek: Oh yeah, and cute kid. Really, she’s adorable! Remember that when she’s 12 & she can’t recall what you said to her 5 seconds ago, and her & her filthy friends are downstairs slopping ice cream & nail polish all over the house 😉 [sub]No, I haven’t been exiled to my room tonight to sullenly browse the Dope…[/sub] ---

**Hal Briston** , you should have named her Agnes. After Saint Agnes– > [@](#): > > 21 January. The day of St Agnes, patron saint of sheep. She is probably the Roman-Jewish version of Agna, an incarnation of the Ewe goddess Rachel. Like the Virgin Mary, she came from ‘immaculate’ parents. In spite of being pre-Christian, not to mention closely connected with sacred prostitutes, her relics are preserved in Rome and constantly adored by the faithful. Unfortunately for her credibility, Agnes is said to have been martyred in the reign of Constantine - when Christians were not persecuted. ---

Congrats Hal! she’s got quite the smile. Mine didn’t smile until she was 8 months old. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-dont-want-to-be-one-of-those-parents/340767.md?page=1)
