West LOVES this "new" car that a neighbor friend passed on to us. Beep! Beep!

I hate to keep playing the "where the heck is the time going" record...but SERIOUSLY.

(still loving those lashes...)

I know we've been kind of slack about updating around here...if only there were more hours in the day...

Sometime upcoming:

• highlights from Auntie Nini & Uncle Adam's visit
• video and photos from recent swim lessons
• tender memories

Until tomorrow...

Towers of Babyl

Finally - our computers are both back online. We've had issues with each, but everything is patched (well, mostly patched) for now.

I have a lot - and I really mean A LOT- of pictures and videos that have piled up since the last post. Feel free to pop on over to Flickr or Vimeo (links at far right) to see the full array.

West had his 6 month checkup yesterday. He's up to a whopping 16 pounds and 7 ounces...and is 26.8 inches long. A very healthy baby boy :)

We have also had a couple firsts:

• 1st solid food...a few weeks ago. He's not that into it, but I keep letting him taste things. Faorites so far? Banana with cinnamon and Tagine of butternut squash and chick peas.
  
• 1st swim lesson on 2/27 - his 6 month birthday.
  
• 1st TEETH! The two front, bottom teeth have broke through today. We've only been waiting for that for 3.5 months!

Here's a video from today of him chattering away to Caleb and I. More pictures and videos coming soon...

Well, we knew this was coming...

He still falls over eventually, but he is getting pretty darn good at this sitting thing...

Oh, The Games That We'll Play...

No photos for a bit...at least until I get the bugs with my computer worked out. Luckily for you, I have to use D's computer to process and upload videos (Ah, life with 6yr old machines :)

Here are some clips of us play with the Big Guy...

A New Year...

...a new way to tell our story. Well, West's story anyway.

Since we're starting a brand new year pretty soon I thought this would be a good time to change to a new format for sharing photos and videos of West's adventures. You will still be able to access all of the photos of him (certainly more than will be posted here!) on his Flickr page : http://www.flickr.com/photos/sunpath/sets/72157622052855451

All of the videos will also still be posted on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/user1940340

Let's start with a video that shows of just how cute West is. This one is called "The Baby in the Mirror." Yes, I will admit that I often end up singing "Man in the Mirror" by MJ when I talk to him about his friend, The Baby in the Mirror. You know, "If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and then make a CHANGE."
