First camping trip

Since we were headed south for work and a baby shower this past week, we decided to take the opportunity to do a couple of days of beach camping and surfing on the way. Here's a few of the photos, but I'll let C. do the real post later as she is much better than myself.

First afternoon at Trestles in San Clemente. This would be the GQ shot.

Enjoying getting a little sun.

He would prefer if you referred to them as pecs, thank you very much. This one may actually come back to haunt him later.

Lest anyone think he wasn't warm enough at night.

And some European lounge-baby at San Elijo.

The First Christmas

Well, I messed up this post by accidentally erasing all the words. I was so frustrated I had to leave the house. I'll just leave it at that. Hopefully you got to read it before I messed it up.

The Many Faces

Well, a day in the life of a baby, eat, hang out, sleep and then eat again. Doesn't sound like much but R. and I could watch and enjoy his little facial expressions all day. Here's a quick slide show of the progression from feeding to naptime, the many faces of Little Man!

...and it's naptime!

Little Man

Well, here he is. Just went in for his one-month checkup and it looks like all the hiking he's been doing has been paying off. (Here's J. doing some of his warm-up calisthenics prior to heading out) Turns out he's 90th percentile for weight, so he's quite a little chunker.




First Halloween. In case you didn't get that from the photo.




To borrow a line from another blog. Cutest. Thing. Ever.



As you can tell, J. is dubious of my, (R's), usefulness in his life. Currently, my duties do not involve producing milk, so as you can see here, J. is not totally sure that I actually serve much of a purpose.



The stink-eye. He also has the double stink-eye, but he only busts that out on special occasions.



First trip to the beach. Ambiguous beanie. We're trying to get him comfortable with a broad palate of colors in case the early 90's really come back in force. It's never too early to try to be cool vicariously through your child. Which is why we've also enrolled him in soccer camp starting next week.




You can see how much he enjoys this. He was just upset I had him up on the nose, as he could clearly tell that with the way this wave was forming up he needed to be sitting on the fin.
