Elias is 6 months old already, can you believe it? It’s crazy it’s gone by this fast honestly. He’s getting big. He’s 90% in height, and normal (50%) in head size and weight. He’s still scooting around the house, but he’s getting much better/faster at it. He’ll “chase”/follow Moseley around now and grab onto his […]

Well Elias is almost crawling at this point. He’s up onto his hands and legs, and can move, but not both at the same time. He’ll scoot from one end of his blanket to the other in less than a minute and loves following Mo from one side to the other. He’s also eating more […]

Nikki and I were going through some old slides and I took some time to take some pictures of them to share. These are all from 1999. It’s pretty interesting to see 10 years later all my favorites have Nikki in them. We’ve been to some incredible places.

Elias keeps growing and growing! He’s closer to crawling, and has this scooting thing down pretty well at this point. He’s also starting to push himself up onto all 4s a lot more now. He and Mo are getting to be good friends. Well, maybe I should say Elias LOVES watching/touching Mo, and Mo puts […]

I must admit, I’ve lived in (or very close to) Jamestown since 1991, but I had never been to the Fools Rules Regatta. I knew about it, I knew Chris Powell was the “chief fool” (he runs the regatta) and I knew the basics. I’d just always had other commitments the day of the event […]

Well Elias can officially move himself around now. Not far (yet) but he can scoot on his belly across his blanket on the floor. He’s now chasing down the toys he’s most interested in including Moseley! Mo has been very good with Elias. The only issue so far is he loves to lick Elias including […]

Elias is getting bigger and more coordinated by the minute it seems. He’s not crawling, but we fear that’s around the corner. He can maneuver himself around the floor pulling himself along with his arms if he’s on a blanket, and he can continually roll himself over to get to things. It’s fun to watch, […]

Elias seems to be growing and growing every day lately. We’re working on feeding him real food. He doesn’t seem to love it, but he does it about half of what goes in (the other half comes back out onto his bib). We’ve been doing rice cereal, but this week we’ve tried sweet potatoes and […]

Why fishkabobs? Because it’s a fisheye on a stick! Just having some fun with the camera, Nikki, Elias, and Moseley in the backyard tonight after work. The stick is the tripod because I’m testing an idea for a monopod, but it’s all I have right now. I was basically shooting these shots from ~6′ away […]

Well 20 weeks at least. It’s been another fun, eventful week around the house with Elias. He’s getting more coordinated every day. He can now grab things as he wants. He can take is nuk out and put it back in (upside down most of the time though). He’s rolling over every which way now […]

Another week, another update! (Yes, the third in 2 days, but for those not checking regularly, they won’t know ) This past week Elias has been learning some more new tricks. Over these past 2 updates he’s learned to sleep w/o being swaddled and he’s learned to eat from a spoon… Well his newest trick […]

Well this past Tuesday we had another beercan race. The wind dropped out pretty bad so our little boat didn’t do very well (it’s won’t by design, but our rating hurts as well leaving us over 8 minutes behind the guys in SECOND TO LAST!). We had a GREAT sail though, we played the shifts […]

Yes, this is the second of three updates coming this weekend… I know I know, I’m a terrible father for being so behind. NOT! The website/PAD project has actually been a lot of fun, I just hate doing the photoshop end of the photos because my computer is getting old/tired/slow, so that makes that end […]
