World Is Her Oyster

As previously mentioned, Veronica is slowly getting out and about more (typically courtesy of wheelie devices and/or her mama). Here's a picture of the Great Silverlake Walk from this weekend, with Amanda and Ernie.



Although Amanda is totally PUNK ROCK, her upper arm wrap here is actually a gift from Rodney, it protects the gnarly shunt that weaves through her veins. We'll get a closer pic of that later on, so everyone can glory in the House/ER/Quincy M.E. medicalness of it, although you can see it a bit better here on their outing to the grocery store.



I think it's cool, that integration of the perfect homey bubble that is currently in place at Willoughby Manor and the unexplored expanse of the Real World, which will all open up to Veronica. Apparently some Bad Word of a stranger came up to Amanda to ask how old V was, and then declared that she was "far too young" to be out. Well, a) that Bad Word is lucky I wasn't there to remind her where to keep her opinions and b) there's no time like the present to teach a baby about the importance of exotic herbs and spices.



As mentioned yesterday, The Dave King came this weekend and I finally got this picture uploaded, which is too good... he said since he was really in town to visit Amanda, then it was Amanda he wanted to hold like a baby. Excellent. God knows the rest of us just shove Amanda to the side in a rush to see V. I mean, I've practically taken her out at the knees before.



And here is a great picture of my FAVORITE new development with Team Gore: the protective instincts of Chester. After initially wondering what was up with the sleeping bump in the living room that got everyone so excited, each day he becomes more protective of Veronica. When Amanda changes her, Chester nuzzles in right at their feet and now he's always aware of where she is and likes to sleep near her. Love it!



Snuggly all over the place...
