We had heard a lot about this Allison since last August and wondered if she would live up to the hype. Well, she exceeded the hype!
Steve and Jen have the most beautiful little girl you could imagine. While not much for conversation at 7 months of age, she was a great listener
and charmed both of us.
Steve is a great father, as if we had any doubts, and helps Jen out a great deal in taking care of his little pride and joy. Jen is a wonderful mother, too, and we were very impressed with how she uses the food processor to make meals out of fresh fruits and vegetables. (This will likely make the difference between Allison attending Harvard and Yale.)
I told Erin that I think Allison was the first baby I've ever held as an adult. Honestly though, it's not like you just stumble upon them. And Jackie, my mother, saw the pictures of us holding Allison and remarked that she could imagine us having one. Erin and I look too well rested to be actual parents in that picture, though. Also, we don't look like we have college funds for 2025 on our mind.
You get great toys when you have a baby. One of the coolest was this Splinter Cell-type (ask a gamer) night vision camera where you can watch the baby roll around in the crib. So cool!
I was also surprised how easy they are to make, but apparently the 18-year care, feeding and maintenance is where they get you. There's always a catch.
