Manny's latest firsts:
first musical accompaniment: today in a friend's kitchen, Manny sang while
his 17 month-old bud Marly danced
first meal with chopsticks: fed by his godmother, Jodi, at the sushi counter
at Porter Exchange
first initiated waves: to Mommy and to Mrs. Galyean (Geoff's boss)
first art: a red/blue finger-painting at the Children's Museum, which Heidy
described as having "excellent gesture"
first pull-up: while Daddy was watching him on the futon

happy 8 months, little Manny, little dove, brimming with promise.
