Marlo's Dylan series (8 months old!)

Our good friends Ed and Andrea, who live in NYC bought Marlo this bodysuit with a pic of young Bob Dylan from a street vendor when we visited them in May 2007, four months before Marlo was born. We wanted to get some pictures of her wearing it before she grows out of it, which seems to be happening with alarming frequency these days! So here's our little 8-month-old goofball. In case you can't tell, she's a pretty happy kid. Earlier in that evening we took her on an outing  to Barclay's (Lew's favorite pub in our neighborhood) where she entertained many members of the beer-drinking public with lots of grins and giggles. She also tried her damnedest to shag one of our onion rings, but we managed to keep them away from her.

At 8 months, she weighs 16 pounds (we think), likes to grab anything within her reach, says ma-ma-ma and da-da-da (but not on cue), is starting to prefer solid food over formula, and still doesn't crawl, although she loves to stand up (with help from an adult, obviously). She is endlessly entertaining to us. We hope it stays that way!
