Well Elias is really getting moving this week.  He’s been cruising for a while now and stood on his own last week…  But Friday night I got home and Nikki said he’s taken 2 steps to her earlier in the night, so I got the camera out and we tried it again….  Well check below…

Well unfortunately we didn’t catch it on camera, but Elias stood up on his own for a solid 10 seconds this week.  We were all on the floor in the living room when he suddenly put both arms up over his head then stood up and just stood there!  He’s been getting better and better…

Pico?  Yep, PICO!!!  Elias went to his third state this weekend going for his longest car ride yet (~4:30) going up to Pico in VT.  I was very excited when Andy and Debbie suggested it because I grew up skiing at Pico about 20~25 years ago, but hadn’t been back since.  Well it’s alive and…

I’m getting this blog update hammered out today so I can relax and enjoy some foolsball tomorrow as well as go out to lunch/brunch with some friends from NSOP…  So you’ll be a day late because of my day earliness…  Today started out well….  Phone rings this morning with a call about why our checking…

Well it’s really been winter this past week.  It’s been cold, then frigid, then cold again, and now it’s “warm” (~25) and snowing.  I don’t mind the snow in the least, but cold and windy can get old even for me.  Nikki got a bit of cabin fever today when Elias only slept for 30…

Well I got to get out on the snow again this past weekend…  It was a shorter trip to Waterville which was actually awesome because it meant I was home in time to see Elias.  I actually took some shots of him for the PAD, but somehow in the mix with the 2 cameras used…

Wow, can you believe it?  The little (well, not so little) man is 10 months already…  Just 2 more months and we’ll have been at this a year already.  He’s got three teeth now.  He’s pretty much quit eating baby food, and he’s really cruising around the house a lot now.  He’s also walking in…

Well, last year, for my new year resolution, I decided to do a PAD.  A PAD is a photo a day project.  I’ve tried to do them in 2006 and 2007 as well, but failed both times.  This year I knew if I could make it until Elias’ birth, I’d have a good subject and…

Well a new year comes and it’s time to recap 2008.  Obviously it’s been a huge year for us with the birth of Elias.  It’s been a lot of work, but a ton of fun and we’ve really been enjoying everything about parent hood.  He actually is 10 months old TODAY!.  I’ve been on vacation…

Well Elias’ first Xmas is in the books!  He seemed to understand opening presents (read ripping paper) and received a ton of gift.  I’ll try to get a shot of just his loot, but yeah, he’s got enough toys for a while considering how much everyone got him.  Nikki and I also had a wonderful…

for someone else?!  Yep, guess Elias is done with breastfeeding…  Over the last week he’s pretty much given up on it.  Then Wednesday night he bit Nikki and has been having a bottle since.  I guess it’s official, he’s growing up.  He also got another introduction with snow this week.  Friday night we gto ~9″…

2 posts in one day?  Yep.  New cameras have a habit of making me shoot more.  Add to that I love snow, and apparently so does Elias, so you’re getting a double dose this weekend.  We woke up to ~2″ of snow here in RI this morning.  It’s Elias’ first time really seeing snow.  He…

Yeah, so remember how I said I’d do another update last weekend?  I’m guessing you figured out I didn’t get to it by now…..  We ended up having a great weekend and a busy few days this week.  We made another trip to Ikea last Sunday and got a new desk.  I’ll add some pics…
