Ultraman Gerry

As a rule, we are very careful in monitoring what Gerry watches on TV. We don't let him watch just any old TV and focus him on watching educational TV shows which we purchased on DVD (or VCD). However, when all is said and done, there is a limit to how much you can control this.

Recently, while Gerry was in the estate clubhouse, one of his friends lent him a VCD of Ultraman Dyna. Ultraman is a long running series of TV shows from Japan generally entailing a being of great power (and size) embodied in a human who fights and defeats numerous monsters who are wreaking havoc on Earth (or in space). If you've watched any Japanese TV shows before involving heroes and monsters, you probably have a pretty good idea of what to expect.

Naturally, the immediate impact is that Gerry now runs around shooting monsters (ie other people) and blasting them with his spacium ray:

If you don't know what the spacium ray is, check out 1:17 on this video.

And to wrap up, some random pictures of Gordon.

Look how happy he is to be stuck in his little jail of a crib!

Gordon is now just over 9 months old and can crawl around on his own pretty well. Here you can see him, not just crawling around, but justifying the title of "big eyed baby" as bestowed to him by the nurses who delivered him.
