Swinger


What is this? It's a little big.

Ohhh!

Fun?

Oh.. that was... wierd!

Yes, it's a little big, but he's having fun! For the record, E is the blur on the tire swing in the background. Ray's back there in the first shot as well. He was behind my left shoulder for the last shot, hence the drunken looking baby - he is smiling at Dad.

Four months


T was four months old yesterday.

Yup, buddy, four months!

He's pretty awesome. He's such a mellow kid still, and smiley. He has slept through the night a few nights since early September, although he has yet to get fully into that groove. He likes his peeps and is just a little bit more happy when Dad is home and he has everyone he is supposed to. He is doing well at daycare and he and I are in a production/consumption race, unlike his bottle-strike brother. No real interest in food yet, but he loves to sit with everyone at the dinner table.

Although sit is a loose term.



That outfit? E wore it when he was about 11 months old...we'll get the official info next week, but our back-room measurements put T at 16.4 pounds and 26 inches. Or... way ahead of his brother. He is his own man....

Edited to add: apparently T started rolling from his back to belly last week at daycare. He has done it for me when he wasn't completely flat, so I didn't count it. Punk.
Further edited to add (11-30): Still regarding that as a fluke, since I still haven't seen it three weeks later.
Still further edited to add: At his doctor's appointment on 11-26, T weighed in at 15 lb 12.5 oz, and measured 27". Around 50th percentile for weight and off the scale for height. Well, he's 75th percentile for height - for a six month old. Looooong.

Iphoneography August

There was a lot more going on in August, but here are a few quick looks at what hadn't made the blog yet.

E's favorite new form of interval training:

It's a long slow walk around the lake this way, and a long fast walk if I push the stroller and E is free to run.


I thought this was the cutest gift from Ray's work. Already featured it on T here.

And: I finally managed to drag Ray to a baseball game so I could get a good hot dog (not so much on the beer, Coors field has become very disappointing in their selection). T's first baseball game:

E LOVED the game and was actually pretty focused on it, although his favorite part was probably Dinger. We celebrated the Rockies' win over the Marlins at Breckenridge Brewery. E went for his new favorite menu item (the kids' menu is for coloring!)
