All these people came to see me (or I went to see them) during my first two months.

Friends & Family

Considering that I don't have some talent like singing or doing impressions, I'm pretty impressed with how many people came to see me in just my first two months of life (August 9 - October 9, 2002). This page shows some of them. For visitors after October 9, check out the links to individual months on the home page.
