That is adorable.
And, yet, this newborn can already do push-ups. I think that the Chinese Developmental Olympics Gymnastics Program may be going too far!

Are they holding auditions for that?
I would be an excellent stand-up, because since my legs got broken, I can't sit down.

All Chinese newborns, human or otherwise, are 4 years ahead of all others. It's a known fact. Just ask the gymnastic coaches.

It really is true, but it's okay. I got hit by an SUV a few years ago, but I didn't die, and I taught myself to read and signed up for Home School while I was recuperating. If all that hadn't happened, I'd be just another one of those pretty furry girls on the beach like Mr. Uly knows.

I'll stick with Puppy Bowl, thanks.
Related note: I recently saw an arena football game on tv for the first time and my first thought was "well, now I know where Animal Planet holds the Puppy Bowl". Ha!
I'm darned good and ready.

Yesterday, I was reading trivia questions in the car and I read that giraffes have the largest eyeballs of any land mammal.

Whew. I thought she was breaking one of California's newest laws. The other being that all Californians need to be on a reality show.

I suppose newborns are pretty flexible but that left front leg just doesn't look right. Makes my own leg hurt just looking at it.
Well, actually it hurts most of the time anyway but that is another issue all together.
