98% of the human genome is noncoding DNA. Termed junk DNA, this vast majority of all human DNA has no known biological function. Why would we have so much nonfunctional genetic material? Are these the instructions for superpowers that are waiting to be tapped or are they really just junk left over from millions of years of modification? I don't know about you, but I'm hoping for superpowers.

15 Months
Today, Harper is 15 months old! Can you believe it? I can't. She's not a baby any more - definitely more of a big girl than a baby. She's beginning to appreciate the finer things in life.

Although I'm not sure that she understood that everyone was clapping for the musicians and not for her. Here's a picture of her dancing to one of the tunes.
