where little ones come to rest...

My, that sound sinister, doesn't it?

As my flesh friends are aware, I have a strong interest in babies. Well, they call it an obsession. But I can't help it. I babysit, one of my friends has a cute little preemie, and people have started sending me pics to enjoy. So it's less of an obsession with something that I do not yet possess, than a healthy interest in an aspect of my life.

Sure, I don't show this sort of attention to transit routes or my keys, but hey. I'm simply developing a proper Robert A. Heinlein interest in perpetuating the species...(hah!)

I just enjoy babies. They're uncritical (at least the ones who don't talk), they think anything you do with them is exciting & unique, and they don't eat much in restaurants. Except napkins. It's a good idea to lay in a good supply of paper napkins once the child reaches teething age.

I also like 'em because I would like to settle down in a few years and raise some critters. I covet the secure lifestyle right now, probably because all the security in my young life has (temporarily) been sucked down the tube.

But I guess my main reason is that they're babies. Duh.

Anyway, things are getting quite childish around my virtual place lately, and I thought I should do something to organized the extra-small-sized hurricane. Ergo, we have a nursery, and the only patch of daylight sky you're likely to see in the Aerie.

My very first virtual baby... mini Alex Miranda.

Lovely little Mikey, whom I actually know in "real" life.

Pippi, the Rev & Miette's little miracle and the Rev's other daughter Chloe ...again, virtual children o' mine.

In 20 years (give or take a few millenia), Davey, Scotty & Moira will be my friends. But right now, they're mad, bad & dangerous to know.

At long last, it's pics of Moira as a wee bairn!! See her open wide!! See her vow revenge! Wowee.

Jake belongs entirely to my cousin...and don't you Internet preverts forget it!

Next crib over, we have my younger brother when he was shorter than I...*sigh*

Just to prove that I'm a baby opportunist, here's an anonymous child I saw at the York Cycle Plays.

The second Michael in the Nursery is Amy's Michael (Amy being one of my closest friends from high-school.)

Tainted Wine was kind enough to send in an adorable picture of her sister & herself as wee ones...aww...

Then there's yours truly, in my funky 70's incarnation.
