Big, chubby piggies

Eyes crossed and tongue out

K-dawg helping out with Lily

Lily is growing like crazy.  Hard to say how big she is, but her 6 months baby clothes are getting a little… snug.

At this point, it looks like she’s going to keep those blue eyes, and her red hair is starting to grow in, too.  She will definitely be joining Lil’ M and I at the BJJ school as soon as possible.  The standing rule in my house is no dating until achieving a Blue Belt.  

In many martial arts currently taught, a Black Belt indicates a fundamental understanding of the style.  In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, this is a blue belt.  So, I feel confident that when my daughters achieve this rank, they’ll be competent to defend themselves from… if not 10 ninja in a dark alley, at least an overzealous date who doesn’t understand that no means no.  The other thing is that, regardless of how long they train, a blue belt isn’t typically awarded to anyone under the age of 16.
