Things I learned on Dad’s Day

1) My baby likes to sing. Or rather just talk. Not sure which she thinks it is, but either way, I found it pretty entertaining. She also responds well to the A-Team theme song (I think Kim is secretly praying that Lena will suddenly switch to Sarah McLaughlan – sp? or New Kids on the Block, but I’m pleased as punch with the A-Team). Anyway, here’s a sample:

2) Lena likes to be tickled… but only in certain ways. Gently blowing on the back of her neck/pseudo-mullet seems to do the trick.

Other thing that surprised me. These videos were all taken with Kim’s little blue iPod. First the quality is pretty damn impressive and the sound isn’t half bad.

I was also lucky enough to get a couple of grilling cookbooks, compliments of Lena and Bobby Flay. We tried them out last night with a grilled new york steak with rosemary-balsamic butter (seriously delicious) and some grilled asparagus with olive oil/freshly ground black pepper/sea salt that we mixed with some French Feta. The butter was the big winner of the night, but it was pretty damn tasty all around. I think I may have to kick my FIL off the grill when we go up to Tahoe for the 4th this year. :P
