Separated at Birth?

Natalie loves to hold her right arm up against her head even from the first moment we could identify her arm and head in an ultrasound image. Even when her arm is tucked and swaddled tightly in her blanket it will magically appear after about an hour. It reminds me of a Maneki Neko statue that you'll frequently find in Asian restaurants and shops.

With Moustache Comes Great Responsibility

Last night on Family Guy Peter Griffin decided to grow a moustache to become more debonair and sophisticated. Me? I just figured I could while I was still on paternity leave.



Here's a BEFORE shot with shaggy hair and full goatee and 'stache. Yeah yeah, I know it just looks like dirt on my face...


And here are 2 AFTER shots for fun (after my 'Heil Hitler!' moment it eventually all did come off)

Bébé de l'eau

Project 365

I've decided to commit myself to taking a photo a day for an entire year like my friend Jimmy. It's a pretty good exercise for any shutterbug wanting to take better shots all around. I've added a link to my photoblog on the right side of this blog.

Multitasking

Today I made several observations on fatherhood:
1. Sleep whenever you can.
2. Life is rewarding in so many new ways.
3. You will surely learn to multitask. I can simultaneously burp Natalie and play Scrabulous on Facebook. Sweet! 'OX' word combo for 39 points!

Let There Be Light

The ridiculous rainstorm in the Bay Area knocked out our power for about 24 hours between Friday and Saturday. Diaper duty was no chore with my handy dandy headlight.


Baby Nat says bye to Auntie Bridget as she heads back down to UCLA now that Winter Break is over.


Natalie's umbilical cord stump finally fell off (we actually lost it) and she was able to take her first bath.


Natalie was so amenable after her bath!

Natalie's Up!

I was able to get in a few shots while Natalie was still awake...





yep, she's definitely a Canon baby.



Thanks for stopping by Auntie Jenny!
