As a gift, we gave Pru a visit to her new pediatrician. We even threw in some vaccinations – for free! We are generous and wonderful parents. The relevant stats (and a picture or two) are below the fold:
One stick for the road
Height: 30.25 inches (96th percentile)
Weight: 22 lb 14 oz (89th percentile)
Head circumference: 46 cm (87th percentile)
Pru spent the whole visit trying to pull the cotton ball out from beneath the bandaid. She succeeded in getting long strands of cotton which she then daintily put into her mouth. Her father was amused; her mother was disgusted. I thought I left those things behind in Texas!
And a bonus, just for sitting through that really lame abstracted pun:
She's a stander

Michael McDonald just performed “America the Beautiful” at the Democratic National Convention’s Barackopolis location. I was going to make a comment about how odd it is that the convention nominating the candidate of “youth” and “change” would feature almost nothing but music and musicians from before I was born. Instead, I’m just going to link to this.

Is this thing on? Yes? Good.
Just poking our heads in to say that our Albany relocation plan is thiiiiis close to being complete. We’ve spent the last couple of days assembling Pru’s new (and first!) nursery. Don’t worry – pictures and a fully staged room suitable for HGTV filming to come this weekend.
We’re liking things so far. People are nice and neighborly, there’s a Wal-Mart and a Target right down the street, we have a pool… Nice, nice, nice. Basically, Albany is a lot like Texas with nice weather and higher taxes.

We have arrived in Rensselaer. At the moment we’re just hanging out, waiting for the movers to catch up to us. Cal is very fond of having an almost entirely carpeted living space, though his feelings towards the two flights of stairs are somewhat more mixed (as mine will no doubt be soon, once you-know-who really gets crawling).

We’re (mostly) packed and ready for the big move North. Unfortunately, this means giving up the cable Internet connection. Talk to you later!

Not so much fun: spending a half-hour in the automated customer service line with TimeWarner Cable, pressing the buttons I’m being instructed to press if I want to disconnect my service, only to get sent to the sales department, where I’m very politely told that they can’t help me but will connect me to the department that can. By which they mean dumping me back into the automated system, where I again press the correct buttons and get sent to sales, where I’m again politely told that they can’t help but will connect me to the department that can, and so on. After this happened three times, with yours truly offering increasingly desperate insistences that I *am* pressing the correct buttons and that just sending me back to the computer switchboard won’t help, I hang up and try the website, where my only option is to fill out a pretty generic inquiry form. I’m told I should expect a response within 48 hours.
ConEd, at least, made it quite easy to discontinue my service. So that’s something.

…but Texas wants her anyway.
Ready to depart for Pru’s first ever-trip to Texas. It will be a three-way reunion: Sarah’s 10th high school reunion, a Horney family reunion, and my long-awaited reunion with Whataburger.
Are we excited?
