We may be breeding vanity by videotaping the little angel's holiday fun.  We decided to drag the camera along, considering we have filmed barely sixty minutes of footage in twenty months.  Yesterday, we hooked up the camera to the television to show my parents the little angel's first steps.

She was immediately transfixed.  She shrieked with delight, crying out her own name and pounding the screen.  She stood directly in front of the screen, despite frequent bodily removal, lovingly caressing her own image.  From then on, every time someone touched the television, she jumped up and called out her name, wanting more than her fifteen minutes of fame.

I'm considering changing her name to Jessica Simpson.
