Solid food--first attempt

This morning--moments ago, in fact--we introduced Elijah to his first solid food, just a little rice cereal in some mother's milk. The pictures tell the story in all its glory.

Yo, bro--check out the Bumbo

This first one is for brother Josh, whose own lil' Nico is the proud new owner of her own Bumbo.

These are, well, just too danged cute, right?

Purty pichers

Like potato chips

A boy, a bear, and a Bumbo

Grandma, Grandpa, a Bumbo, and a hoodie

A weekend visit with Grandma and Grandpa


Whoever invented the Bumbo is a genius!


This boy looks so good in a hoodie!

Smile!

Eat, Drink, Man, Woman (with all due deference to Ganda)

EAT--at Hunan Delight, where the waitresses love you

DRINK--from a bottle all by yourself

MAN--yes, Elijah, you ARE the man

WOMAN--here you are flirting with Katie

You are powerless to resist

Don't say I didn't warn you!

15 pounds, eight ounces--and twenty-five inches long

Some penguins

Morning playtime

Four months old today

And such excellent taste in women!

Dimsum, demsum, and New Year's Eve

A little dimsum with Ganda, Godwin, and Dennis

And a spin in the new exersaucer

And then out for a New Year's Eve feast

And a party at Eric and Lumi's house!

What a busy boy you are, Elijah!

The whole famdamily

Chanumas, oh Chanumas!

Here's an assortment of pix from our wonderful stay with Grandma and Grandpa in the country. Aunt Sue and Uncle Dan were there too.
