A Gentleman and a Scholar

He has no profession. He is a gentleman? -- Sense and Sensibility

You know your wife was recently pregnant when ...

(#1) you have a baby,
(#253) you find it amusing to quote Sense and Sensibility in your blog posts.

Today's question-- is Micah a gentleman and a scholar? Of course! And we have photographic evidence.

First, all gentlemen must have an appreciation for the arts. Here, Micah and I are listening to jazz.


Second, all gentlemen must love their mothers. This is obviously the case for Micah.


Third, gentlemen must uphold decency no matter the circumstances. Here's a picture from his first real bath!


Fourth, the scholar bit. Well, just see for yourself! Has anyone ever concentrated so hard on The Very Hungry Caterpillar?


And lastly? Well, clearly Micah has no profession, not unless sleeping, pooping, and crying count. He does smile occasionally, but he's not being paid for that either (though maybe paying him for smiles would inspire more of them).


The evidence is conclusive! Micah is indeed a gentleman and a scholar.
