I hope everyone had a delightful holiday! We didn’t do much – just enjoyed the random middle of the week day off and tried to keep the dog from losing her damn mind at the sound of each firework (we have thus far not been successful in this venture; please send dog treats and sympathy).
Despite our lack of actual Independence Day festivities in which to participate, I of course needed to document the baby’s first 4th of July…so I risked his eyeballs to take these photos (that thing is not so much a “flag” as it is a “sharp wooden stake with a scrap of flag-themed fabric attached”):
Good news, Obama – he proved himself to be a worthy patriot, chasing down that deathtrap of a flag as soon as I removed it from his grasp:
Never mind, he just wanted to eat it.
Happy 4th of July!
The Baby Is Fine
