Like any adult walking around in the World today, B has about a thousand different looks at four months old. Thank God for digital cameras. We are not trying to document everyone of them but find that have captured a lot of them digitaly. In actuality, we are only trying to capture the cute ones. This sounds a lot easier than it is. I don't have any idea how parents captured cute pictures of babies before there were digital cameras. Maybe this explains why there are so few baby pictures of me. Nope... I'm pretty sure it's because I was a third child. For every 10 to 15 pictures we take, there is 1 photo that is worth keeping. Don't get me wrong... We keep all of them :-). You never know when they might be worth something someday. Either as blackmail or to sell to the tabloids when he becomes famous. For now, I'm finding that the pictures tell a nice story when put all together. This is just one example. I'm going to start posting more of these in the future.

1 year ago today is when we found out that we were going to have a little Buddha. I forgot all about it but Claire reminded me in the way that wives do. "Do you know what tomorrow is?". My heart started racing. My mind started going a mile a minute trying to figure out if I had forgottena date that I should be able to produce before she finishes her sentence. I was drawing blanks and getting real nervous. She just smiled and reminded me. I don't know how I could forget the date that took the World as I knew it and turned it upside down.
After a certain age, years and birthdays fly by. At least for me, they sort of blend into one another. This past year flew by but definitelydid not blend in with the others. I still can't believe all the memories I take from this past year. I'm sure this next year will bring many more.

We've discovered that B is very vain. He loves to look at himself in the mirror. He would probably do it most of the day if he could stand on his own. It's cute to see him react to his own facial expressions. You can also tell he gets confused a little to hear Mommy or Daddy's voice come from behind him yet he sees us right in front of him. From what we read, most babies/toddlers love other babies. Ever notice how little children will almost always look in other strollers? I wonder if those coos and gagas we hear is a universal language that they understand. Probably not as complex as in the movie Look Who's Talking... :-). More evidence are these pictures that were taken a few weeks ago when Nicole came over with Ava (about one year older than B). You can click the picture to see a larger version. It was amazing to see how she looked and interacted with B. Any who, I guess we'll keep putting B in front of the mirror because he seems to like it. I guess everyone will blame us he falls in love with himself.
New photos are also posted here in the 4th month gallery.

Everyone has one. An emergency stash of something that is hidden somewhere. For some people it's junk food in the back of the cabinet, others hide a roll of hundos in an old sock in the sock drawer. And no... if you come to our place looking to rob us, we don't keep our cash in the sock drawer. B is no exception. He keeps a stash of breast milk in the freezer. He's worried that when Mommy is at school, he might go hungry. Well, last weekend I found his stash when cleaning out the freezer. It was hard to miss considering it takes up 3/4 of the space.
Seriously, we figured it was time to organize the stores after a frozen bag of breast milk hit me on the foot 3 times in a row when opening the freezer door. I had to put one of Claire's shoes in the picture to give it some point of reference. I knew we had a lot of milk in the freezer but didn't realize how much until there was a mound of it sitting in the middle of our kitchen. Unbelievable. It's only a matter of time before we have nothing in the freezer except breast milk. When I first went to the store to buy storage bags, I thought a box of 25 bags would last at least a few weeks. Now, it seems like I'm going to Target every week to buy storage bags. Just another cost associated with raising a baby but well worth it.

New pictures have been posted here. I've been getting a lot of requests for updates to the site more often. I know... I know... I need to do a better job. I'm going to shoot for at least 2-3 times a week going forward to keep the public happy.Bye for now.
