'nother batch

here's some more !

quick, gotta get quicker

I need to hire a publicist or something.

here's a new batch, more to come, because I'm uploading them at a smaller resolution so I can do it more often (our internet connection is atrocious)

enjoy!

Uncanny Resemblance

Some days, Caedmon looks like Joanna when she was a baby, and some days Caedmon looks like me when I was a baby. I think maybe some days he doesn't look like either of us. But a couple days ago, he looked so much like me when i was a baby that it was uncanny. At least, I thought so.

you be the judge :

i wish i had a picture of myself when i was a baby for comparison ...

WAAAAY overdue

Hello those of you who have been faithfully pestering me, doggedly nagging me, justifiably harassing me ... I have cruelly deprived all of you from any contact with Caedmon! So I apologize. But here's some good ones, I tell you, some gooood ones!

"Can you believe my dad? Can't he just post my pictures already?"

If Caedmon was on the cover of an action/spy/thriller movie DVD case, he would look like this.

I've got no excuses

sorry it's been so long! I'll post more, I promise ! but hopefully this picture will at least keep you satisfied for a few good laughable minutes.

"every baby is special." -- Max Lucado. (just kidding)

I have noticed that pretty much every parent of a young child that I have talked to is convinced that their child is ahead of the curve in physical growth, intelligence, verbal communication, or something that medical doctors statistically chart. If everyone I talk to says this, this can only mean one of two things. Either the chart is really wrong and outdated and needs to be re-calibrated, or maybe every parent is meant to exist in their own timeframe where everything the baby does seems incredible.

That being said, I thought (somebody told me) that babies aren't supposed to raise their heads until sometime later than how old Caedmon is now. But here he is, ten days ago (sorry for the delay!) holding his own head up like a champ. And apparently looking for something.

Don't worry, he's not mad, but he is excited. In between cries (some of which are on the video) he was also smiling and looking adventurous.

A Big Video Gallery

So I'm making up for lost time by posting TONS of stuff to the blog. These are only for the die hards. Make sure to watch all three, because they get better. (save the best for last)

I have been trying for a long time to catch Caedmon while he is sleeping, because he makes the funniest faces. But whenever he ACTUALLY makes the funny faces, I am either not by the camera, or the card runs out of space, or it's too dark. But here's a tiny sample. And then he startles awake.

unfortunately, it's not all fun and games. In case I have presented too rosy a picture of Caedmon's existence, here he is when all is not well. I'll probably delete this video once he gets older to save him the embarrassment, but for now, I think that it is HILARIOUS! It raises Joanna's blood pressure, though. (As it should) His face just looks so funny! (and don't worry, I comforted him after I was done shooting)

This last video is the grand finale. Unlike all the other videos so far on the blog, I've posted this one in a higher resolution, so it will take a long time to load. But it's totally worth it. Let's just say that Caedmon is getting older ... !!!
