7 Months: Superstar revisited

We haven't been following-up on the superstar baby model opportunity. Unsurprisingly, tons of people think their babies are cute enough to be photographed and plastered onto billboards (including us). This conviction, however misguided it might be in some cases, leads to competition. Thus, people are willing to put themselves and their babies through rather a lot of time and effortfor not a lot of money. In short... it's competitive, even for the less than desirable jobs.

We'd have been interested in a "you've been discovered" type moment which allowed us and our beautiful baby to bypass the paying-your-dues phase of babies' modeling careers; but we're not willing to become part of the system... it's not worth the money, for one thing. Leave it at that.

So don't look for August in the Gap stores this holiday season, folks... it'll be some other kid instead. Besides, what he really wanted to do was act.

His verbal skills may not yet be developed, but his ability to communicate is advanced. In this photo, for example, August demonstrates his understanding of the connection between the Y chromosome and his own "maleness". He's a smart one.
