Four Minutes With Elliot
Most folks haven’t seen Elliot awake, or at least not very awake. He’s got this funny habit of sleeping when people visit. So, we thought we’d gather some video evidence proving that, yes, Elliot does in fact open his eyes for more than five seconds at a time!
This is about four minutes of video with [...]

The First Roll Over
Elliot just now rolled over from his tummy to his back for the first time. That’s my boy!

Back To The Dungeons
So yesterday was my first day back at the office. Four weeks have flown by already. Unbelievable. Here’s a sanitized version of what my day looked like:
Arrived at office earlier than almost everyone. This is likely because I don’t know what “early” means anymore.
Harassed the only other member of my team at work that early [...]

The Mirror
The first day Elliot saw himself in the mirror. His face says it all (check out the bigger version). Since then, he loves to see himself in the mirror. He also loves examining the pictures on our living room wall, the (fake) potted plants on one of our shelves, and the books on our living [...]

The Happiest I’ve Ever Been To See A Poop
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been plenty happy to see a poop before, but this was different.
I can’t remember exactly when now, but once during Elliot’s first week he went a full 24 hours without going number two. Now, this was particularly distressing for two main reasons: first, we’re nervous nellie first-time parents, and second, [...]

Bill Cosby On Natural Childbirth
We have Bill Cosby’s “Himself” on VHS at home. I had already considered this 1983 stand-up comedy routine the best ever made. But now, after accompanying Tania through labor and delivery, this show is about eight thousand times funnier. We can relate now–a lot! And I’m sure it’ll continue to get funnier the longer we’re [...]

Sorry about the outages…
Sorry about the blog being down occasionally for short periods of time. The hosting company I’m with, Dreamhost, though normally good, has been a bit less than reliable lately. So, if you try to visit here and find the blog to be unresponsive or unavailable, try again later on that day–it’ll just have been another [...]

My Two Favorite Men
I took this picture a few days ago and I thought I would share it with you all. I just love this picture of my two favorite men: my Husband (love of my life, best friend, confidant, partner in life, my favorite person in the whole world, God’s perfect gift) and my son (my [...]

Random Stuff From Parental Boot Camp
I thought I’d take this bleary-eyed moment between daddy duties to share in an unplanned manner several random thoughts, facts, or happenings. Here goes.
Tania has discovered that Elliot likes the Alphabet Song. Weird, huh? Cool, huh? She couldn’t think of anything else to sing to him one night, so she sang that, and he calmed [...]

Wee Wee Man!
Holy moly, I can’t believe this is a real product! My faith in humanity has been restored!
It’s the WeeBlock, and it comes in a variety of different styles. The Wee Wee Man is my favorite–because Elliot is our little Wee Wee Man–but I get a laugh from the “Lil’ General”.
I’m not sure I’d pay $9.99 [...]
