Delta Alpha November India Echo Lima

Hey. It's me, Daniel. That title up there is pilot speak for yours truly. Why? Cuz I'm cuter than Tom Cruise and I've got the gear to be the next Top Gun. Mom made me an Aviatrix hat (Ravelry Link and Designer website respectively) :


Don't be calling me "Maverick" or "Iceman" or "Goose" though, k? I wanna be "Heartbreaker". Nobody can resist these baby blues...

Here's my airplane impersonation (or as close as I come at five-months old):

Mom told me she has some really cool airplane buttons for this hat but she can't find 'em so I'm putting up with temps for now. I can't see 'em over there on the side of my head so I don't care just as long as I can pretend I'm in a dogfight when I wear my hat.

When I'm big enough to fly a real plane I need something cool and loud. Making noise is one of my favourite pass-times right now so I think I'd like a plane that I could make sonic booms with. Wouldn't that be cooooool? My mother (silly woman) agrees that I need something loud but she tells me whatever I fly has to be wet too. She wants me riding around in one of those big noisy helicopters that drop water on fires. She thinks I go a little overboard with the drool for a guy with no teeth on the way. Me? I find the drool a good way to mark my stuff as mine. Those sisters don't want my toys once I've made them dripping wet. I drool on the shoulders of all my favourite ladies too. That way they look sort of messy and the other boys don't bother with them. Heh. I've got the dating strategies down pat.


Come over here so I can drool on you too. You know you want me to.

(Mom says I have to give the deets on the hat *sigh*. She made it from Berroco Blackstone Tweed in a colour called "Cape Cod". She really likes the yarn. I caught her rubbing it on her face a few times and heard her talking about how it has angora in it...whatever that is. She wants me to say that she went up a needle size on both the ribbing and main hat to compensate for the heavier yarn. Finally, even though she made the bigger size, the under-chin strap is only on 6 stitches instead of 8 because that goes under my chin better. It is a touch big on me now but I'm gonna be awesome in it once it gets colder.)
