my two favorite people

| June 13, 2008

Like duh, you know who they are. You were thinking maybe Trinity & Neo? Turner and Hooch? Clark and Gable? Noo! It’s my awesome wife and the gallon-sized ball of love, drool & clawing fingers that is my son. + some photoshopping. Because although the weather up here may suck, it’s not that weird. Drawing [...]

“wreck that meatbox!” or “they have a black section and a white section”

| May 17, 2008

So we met some friends of ours (hi Webers), and friends of theirs (hi Jason & Dirk) at the Soapbox, err Saucebook, Saucebox. Whatever. That’s right – we took our baby into a bar. And rocked that shit. Married couples & wobblers can still party. Oh yes we can. OK, so we didn’t party. I [...]

I hope he’s teething…

| April 23, 2008

because poor Z has been a bit despondent lately. Not to mention he teased us with a week of good sleeping, and is now back to horrible, multi-waking sleep. We put him in the bed with us last night because he was waking so much, and he proceeded to wake us with him all night. [...]

Z + beef

| April 3, 2008

This is Z’s face after trying Gerber “beef” #2: The weird thing is, he still wants more. But after every bite….unhappy face!  Usually if he doesn’t like something he’ll just turn his face away when you try to feed more to him.  Curiouser and curiouser…

a day in the life

| April 2, 2008

Just in case you wondered what an average weekday is like for a family with a baby (or a particular family with a particular baby….), this is us these days: midnight: z wakes up, comfort him back to sleep 3:30am: z wakes up, attempt to comfort him back to sleep. 70/30 he will refuse to [...]

i love being sick

| March 19, 2008

No really, it’s awesome. And poor Zainy is sick too, and now mommy is getting sick too. It’s a never-ending cycle!  I have to wonder if it would be like this as well in….warmer locales.  California, for instance.  But there’s not much we can do about that (no we can’t move back!). So, in the [...]

book run

| February 26, 2008

So I was so motivated by inventorying all those books that I hit Powell’s downtown this weekend to try and fill in some of the newly discovered holes in my collection. Fred Saberhagen: Broken Lands, Black Mountains, Changeling Earth, Ardneh’s Sword [pics from this site] All prequels (and all except the last actually written before) [...]

Z is on the move

| February 18, 2008

He’s been crawling around for a little while now, and just started sitting himself up inside the last week somewhere.  Fun stuff! He’s right on the cusp of getting into things – he found the new dresser we put together this weekend, and figured out how to pull the drawers open in about 5 seconds.  [...]

something positive (.net)

| January 28, 2008

OK, so Z woke up at 5am this morning.  Which is not awesome. But he went to sleep at 8pm, so it makes sense (normally he’s like 10-730 with several interruptions).  Poor guy was sleeping extra restless, growth spurt we’re thinking?   So I’m feeding him now (555am), and noticed that the post I made last [...]

One of the most wonderful things in the world

| January 22, 2008

is when I carry my son up to bed at night. Yes, oftentimes getting him to sleep is a pain in the ass, and he takes an hour or two to fall asleep. Yes, many nights he wakes up frequently, sending me running up 3 flights of stairs or hopping out of bed, trying to [...]
