Big Finish

Hey everybody. Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving. The Family unit had a nice time at my Mom's place. Nik was very well behaved for the entire meal. By my estimates, that should be the last time that will happen until he's about 40. He's doing really well and starting to demonstrate some new tricks. Like his laser like focus on the mobile above his bed. A fantastic invention, that would be slightly more awesome if it lasted slightly longer than 14 seconds.

I like this one a lot. Really shows you how much his face is filling out and how he's leaving his newborn face behind and on his way to baby stylin'.

This is another favorite. I think he was dreaming about being a mafia don and screaming "Fugeddaboutit".
His neighbor Catherine came by for a visit. I'm not sure what he's reading to her, but she seems pretty engrossed.
Grandma came down from Maine for a visit which allowed us some time to do a bunch of stuff around the house. Despite how Grandma appears to be clutching him, I can assure you she did not stuff him in her luggage before she went home.

Here's the "Big Finish". He just started smiling about a week ago, but it seems to disappear as soon as I get the camera out. This is the best one I got so far, but I can promise there will be more to come!

Sorry for the "brief" interruption in service....

Things got a little hectic here over the past couple of weeks. Not really on the homestead, more for me at work! So, the blog and it's many fans have suffered. My apologies. Here is a new batch of silliness to tide you over.

It's been really tough to get a photo of him smiling, which is his newest trick. Until then, we'll all have to settle for his old standby. Pensive infant.

This thing is called a Bundle Me, which is one of the many items I had never heard of, until we registered at Babies R Us. Now, it's one of the many items I can't imagine us doing without. It should keep him pretty warm all wintah!

Cath has been practicing some baby massage on Nik. Which he seems to enjoy. She also has a song that goes along with the massage. So far the two lyrics, I've made out are "baby" and "massage".
This is Nik, feigning embarrassment. His best trick to date.
Well, that's it for me.....now check out some photos of my folks!

So, there has been some debate on who our little boy looks like. We decided to put it up to the readers out there. Here are baby photos of Cath and I as little ones. Post your vote in the comment section below.

Tricks and Treats

Things are progressing here. Nik is growing more alert with each day and spends a lot of time looking at me with a puzzled face (He obviously got that from mom). We had some recent visits and Halloween to provide us with the chance to get some more shots of him. It's such a chore to photograph babies!

Holding a grandson has to be one of life's great pleasures.

Holding your nephew is up there too.




Psst! Wake up, you've got company over! Your neighbor Catherine won't keep coming over for visits if you keep this up.

What a handsome devil. Not the baby....me!


Wash that big ol' Baby belly.

Squeeky clean and getting ready for bed.
