Why animals kill their young.

All I have to say right now is FUCK!!! I have an 18 month old. I always wanted to have kids once I found the right girl and I love my son. He’s only 18 months old right now, and yes I know every parent thinks they’re kid is brilliant, but he is seriously smart as fuck. He figures out toys way over his head. He’s not super verbal yet but he’s a MASTER of manipulation. And I don’t mean the typical baby stuff like fits and whatnot (which he of course does as well, but he’s learning quickly that not even that works well and when/where it does work). I’m talking serious study of our actions facial expressions, and learning to exploit any weekness he sees. Maybe I am off here and all kids his age do this but I really don’t think so.

I’ll post more examples but he’s been really pissing me off because I am not always sure when he’s playing me and when he’s sincere. I hope I’m not the father of a sociopath or psychopath but DAMN.

I know this is a vague post but the exact example I wanted to use has slipped my mind as I started it a few days ago. So more to come.

What’s new?

So what’s new? Nothing much, getting used to baby, and that’s a hard one. Not that I would give him up for the world, but he’s definitely needy. I feel like I’ve really been neglecting contacting people and whatnot but it’s hard when you have a newborn, work and life in the way of everything. So if I haven’t e-mailed in a while or given you a call it’s not hate in my heart, just missing the free time I had before.

Other than that not much is going on. I have a few more pictures up at our fam site http://azbay.net but not a lot of recent ones yet (bad daddy). I hope to have some more this weekend, really all I’ve added to Sean’s pictures now are the ones I’ve received from Ben and Mom and Dad from around his birth. More to come I promise.

Other than that, not much to report. I guess I’ve found a new love for Twitter, it’s kinda like SMS messaging because it’s only 140 characters, and kinda like IM, but also like blogging. You can post little tidbits about yourself and your friends and watch what they’re saying as well, it’s pretty cool. So check it out and you can find me using the name nochiefs, as I do with many sites.
