When we got home from visiting my in-laws last week, Nora was a little ball of energy. Flailing and chirping. If she could walk, she’d have been zooming around the house knocking things over. Once she calmed down a little bit, I recorded a short video of her antics. It was this behavior that lead me to tweet:
Not sure how to describe daughter’s behavior this evening, but the unit of measurement would be kilotons of TNT.


You say you recorded this AFTER she calmed down? I suppose the room was shaking too much before then.
She’s a cutey. I’m reminded of what you wrote a year ago – “I look forward to selfishly guarding my immortal genes in their brand new flesh bag once they get out of the gene packaging facility.” Now I see you poking that little flesh bag in the tummy and going all coo coo. I suppose that the gene packaging facility does it too. It looks like I’m going to have to go over there and guard my own immortal genes.
Yes, that was after she calmed down a bit.
I also reread that sentence today. It’s one of my best.
