Babies. Babies. Babies


For the past few weeks, Chief and I have been living in a baby environment. There was an episode of “NYPD Blues” where Andy Sipowicz’s wife, Detective McDowell gave birth. He gives Theo, his young kid, a pep talk about being a “kuya” or elder brother to the new baby. Even on an episode of “Enterprise”, Trip is injured and in coma and needs a clone so it’s internal organs can be used to save Trip. A baby is born and raised by Dr. Flox until it is old enough for an organ transfer. And on Monday's episode of “Lost,” Charlie Pace, the Aussie rock singer character, is fighting to “save” Claire’s baby!

Of course, for the past few weeks, news of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ baby has been on talk shows even as he promotes “Mission Impossible 3.” Even Ellen de Generes showed 8 baby pictures and asked Tom Cruise which baby looked the closest as his baby.

One afternoon at Seattle’s Best Coffee, right in the middle of Greenbelt 3 while I was busy scribbling some work on my laptop, a baby in a Graco stroller was staring at me. His younger brother was finishing his homework while the mother was keeping watch as she enjoyed her latte. His father was the Duty Manager and probably, just can’t get away from his newborn baby!

Even Lea Salonga gave birth to a baby girl at Asian Hospital!

Of course, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had their own baby born in Namibia!

Guess, it is really a baby environment! Can Christian Gabriel be far behind?
