New Jammies

After we took a bunch of photos and played for a while he crashed on our bed. I could not resist.

He is getting so big and somethin' has to give!


His new favorite toy. Cesar! (named after Cesar Milan : Dog Whisperer)

I found these jammies and I'm glad that I put them on today, they are getting small already!

I saw a picture like his online yesterday and I wanted to try out and the sun was just right this morning.

Desire to be Creative

I was thinking last night about the desire to be creative. An author finding just the right twist to invoke emotion, an artist painting, sculpting or drawing in order to paint the bigger picture to tell a story without words, a photographer trying to find just the right angle that speaks about the environment, the mood and the subject all in one click. A chef combining the perfect blend of elements that makes a person's taste buds beg for one more bite. I think we all desire to creative something that speaks about our selves, better than our words, better than our art, better than our portraits, that tells the whole story from the right angle making people beg for one more opportunity to see us as we really are.

I tried some different angles today. Here is what we captured.

Overkill

Okay so I know this is the third post I have had today. I guess I am just making up for lost time. William, Kurt and I just went outside to try out his new sled! It was really cute. William hates the snow in his eyes. We will have to find a time when it is not snowing to go out and take some more pics.

Baby's got teeth

Williams teeth poked through a few weeks ago but we have not gotten a good shot of them until this morning!

Trying out some new things on GIMP

Kurt got me a new computer for my birthday and Christmas so I am trying out some new things in GIMP. I am learning but am enjoying trying new things. Last night I watched a tutorial (by an 8 year old) about how to make parts of your photo colored and other parts black and white. I tried a picture that I took last night of William in the bathtub and made the picture black and white and left the duck yellow. I wanted to try something else so I took a picture of Kurt and the boys and made thier ties red.

I am a bit obsessed with taking pictures now so I figured that I would post them here rather than on Facebook so people don't get sick of seeing my kid!

Bad Blogger

Okay so I am officially a bad Blogger. I will try try try to be better about posting pictures and messages here. It is just not always on my radar screen so I forget.

William is getting BIG. He is 18 pounds now and is in the 90% for weight and the 15% for height. I was right he is going to be a squatty little guy. He has started some solid foods. We started with peas and green beans and now he is exploring pumpkin. I have been making my own baby food and really enjoy doing so after a long day of work. It is just nice to be able to do something that does not require a debate or a lengthy explaination. It just is a process and that is all.

We are looking forward to halloween this weekend. William was going to be a pea pod, then a chilli pepper but neither of the costumes fit. (I bought them last year on clearance!?) He could be a split pea and we may just put him in and take a picture cause he is just busting the seems. So now he is going to wear his snow suit(also getting small) that has moose ears on the hood and feet. Fitting I guess.

We have been so busy with Weddings (Congrats: Nick and Lindsey, Nick and Kate!) Eaglefest, Winetasting parties and bbqs. We are hoping things start to slow down a little bit as fall turns to winter.

I have been sewing as well. I made William two fleece hats and am working on a bag to cart papers back and forth from school. I was planning on making his halloween costume like my Mom did for us but decided too late for this year. Maybe next year! I will post pictures soon!

Last Day of Summer

So today is the last day that I have off before school starts next week. I was hoping to get so much more done this summer but I guess having a baby and getting him chunked up is good enough. It has been so cold this week that I pulled out some of Williams warmer clothes and today he crashed in his carseat (sometimes the only place he sleeps) and I had to take a pic, and one of the hats that Lisa Gross made us matched his outfit so I had to put it on him. Poor kid is just trying to sleep.
