Lil’ G: 28 weeks down


Size Comparison: Fisher Price Daredevil Van ca. 1977

Man, I loved the Fisher Price Adventure People series of toys. They were simple, generic, incredibly fun, and packed with creative opportunities.

The baby was interactive yesterday! There was a distinct body part poking out and, when touched, it moved! It was kind of strange but also very exciting. According to the books, there hasn’t been much change in the baby’s size from last week. Lil’ G certainly feels stronger and more active.

One of the interesting things is that the one text mentioned that doctors believe that, by this week, the baby may be able to dream. I’m not sure how they know that. It’s not as though you can take a survey of newborns regarding their in utero dreaming. I guess someone could…I wouldn’t expect much from the results, though. I wonder if babies have that dream where they’re in some kind of public place only to realize that they aren’t wearing any clothes. If so, I bet it’s a lot more fun and a lot less scary than it is for adults.

Fisher Price Adventure People? Bah. Give me Little People any day. Or as I called them, "mans."

James, we will have to agree to disagree on this one. Perhaps you didn't realize that, on the other side of the Daredevil van, was a blue eagle-type thingie spanning the entire cargo area. This further proves my theory that, what's very cool in real life is nearly as cool in toy form.

Dude, the mans A-frame house had a doorbell. That was an actual bell. Next to sliding glass doors. Not to mention, steak on the grill. Your move, van-boy...

Adventure people...let's see...oh yeah, they had feet, arms, and no gaping hole on their backside!
