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…

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…

Yeah, I know, it’s been a while. I did a few small updates during my vacation, but I’m just now getting to a full week update and have 3 to do. Read all 3 updates (this and the 2 to come) to know why. Anyway, “this week” I had my vacation week at work so…

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!  The 4th also happens to be Andy’s birthday (60 this year, but don’t tell him I told you!) so it’s always a big party down at their beach cottage.  Unfortunately this year the motorboat was stuck to the trailer (the people who painted the bottom put it down wet apparently) so…

Today was my first “entire day” alone with Elias. I’m on vacation, and Nikki used all hers when Elias was born, (I took a week then too, but this week is mandatory where I work) so I’m on vacation alone. It’s not my first time taking care of Elias alone by any stretch of the…

Well Elias is getting bigger and more fun every day it seems. He’s now rolling over (when he wants) either way. His patterns are much easier to recognize for us which is great. He’s just becoming and awesome little dude that’s just fun to hang out with. Not that he wasn’t before, but the giggle…

OK, I’m a little behind on the updates… sorry! It’s been super busy. We had Lora and Chris’ wedding last weekend with the rehearsal on Sunday and the Wedding on Monday. So with all the other things going on in our life as well as that I’m a little behind. These are most of the…
