the pitiless pooklet

our sony babycall monitor was giving us a lot of static at night, along with other random noises, one of which sounded like a flock of birds was trapped in the nursery.
we ordered Mobi's Mobicam, a video monitor that seems better so far in the static department, and which gives us the added luxury of seeing the baby pook without opening the loud and creaky door to his room.
Lately our first morning visual of pooklet is him standing in front of the crib railing and dangling his duckie blanky over the edge. it looks fairly threatening, but amusing, too.

We've been mulling over names for girls, a task made more difficult because we want to incorporate pookie's mom's name esther as middle or first and it doesn't seem to follow or precede well because of the lead vowel. last night, pookie suggested "Shalom," which i immediately liked until trying out the complete name. sorta awkward. in the running still is "Hannah." I liked a couple names Paul closed his letter to the Romans with, but pookie won't have 'em: Tryphena and Tryphosa.

are those so bad?
