Rachael - Thanksgiving 2000 Bronwyn had an at-home on Thanksgiving Day and we went over to spend time with the baby. Even I spent time with the baby and there's a photo down there you won't see the like of again. "Oh god, this is just so boring." One of those priceless shots of the mutual absorption between mother and child. Bronwyn's teasing the kid. She doesn't want a finger. She's still a solemn baby. I like the formal smock thing she's wearing. The moment I took Rachel and held her for a minute, all the onlookers squealed and headed for their cameras. Given my normal reaction to babies and my comments, they thought this was a sight they would never see and it was worth memorialising. I held her for 20 minutes or so, and she looked at me and I talked to her and she seemed startled by my voice. I had to give her up when I found myself starting to hum to her. Then I rushed off and grabbed a beer and made a manly pose and pretended it hadn't been me.
