Elias is getting more and more active all the time now. He’s now crawling all over the entire first floor of our house if he’s allowed. If not, he can usually get past or through whatever barrier we’ve tried to use. He’s standing more often as well and pulling things down off higher shelves. It’s […]

Well Elias is getting really mobile now. He’s been belly crawling for a while now, but that was slow and he couldn’t get over/around a lot of obstacles. He’s now full on crawling and can pull himself up to standing. He’s even “walked” pushing a footstool across the front room (he was actually trying to […]

Yep, selling my 300 f4. I LOVE this lens, but I use it primarily for sailing and surfing shots where I’m typically pretty restricted in where I can shoot from. So a prime just doesn’t work very well for that. Also, I’ve been using it with the 1.4 TC a lot lately which it take […]

Elias is 8 months old today. Can you believe it? We barely can. He’s also had a few new milestones this week. Last weekend he waved to another baby at a store. Last night he waved to me when I left him with Nikki for his late night feeding right before he’s tucked in. He’s […]

I traded the 50L for a 100-400L… This lens has always been tempting for me, and I’ve realized recently shooting some sailing and surfing shots that the 300 has been limiting at times. I find myself using it as much with a 1.4 TC (420mm f/5.6) as w/o and then at other times 300 is […]

Well, Elias almost really has a tooth now. He’s been getting both his front 2 teeth poking through, but his front left is getting to be apparent now. He’s also climbing a lot more things lately. He can pull himself up onto his knees very well and has actually put 2 feet on the floor […]

Well, tons of pictures this week. What’s going on with us? Well, we got Elias a “cage”. It’s more to be a temporary childproofing technique, but he really seems to like it. We put him in it with all his toys and it keeps him out of trouble, but it also keeps the pets away […]

Elias the puddle pirate (waits to see how many people might get that…)? There’s a story to this, but it’s long and involves internet jokes so just trust me it’s as funny as Elias is cute. This week’s been fun though. Elias licked everything in sight at Ikea last weekend while having a great time. […]

Wow, time flies when you’re changing diapers. Elias turned 7 months on Thursday. He’s really starting to get to the point where he’s fun now. Or I should say where the fun times way outweigh the difficult times. He can sit up on his own, and does all the time now. He’s still scooting, but […]
