STICKY POST

Seven months



The morning after getting his 6-month immunization shots. Yes, 6-month shots at 7 months; he had the flu when he was supposed to get them last time.

Donnie was a cranky boy last night. It was a combination of having a slight cold (cough, some sneezing), fever from the vaccinations, and pain and fever from teething. A single sharp tooth is finally budding from his lower gum.

Oh yeah, that thing on his forehead is a cooling pack. Anyone think I should draw a leaf on it and call it a Naruto forehead protector?

growth statistics:
Head circumference: 17.5 inches (75th percentile)
Weight: 20.9 lbs (80th percentile)
Height: 27.75 inches (90th percentile)

Straw

We gave Donnie the chance at a non baby drink, but all he did was chew.

Special Delivery

Turns out that it is not the stork, but the USPS eagle that does these deliveries.

Strolling

Sunday morning stroll with Donovan along for the ride.

Sitting pretty...high

I have not done a Donovan update for a while. This is from three weeks ago when he got the hang of sitting without hands.

Notice the huge bib -- it's absolutely necessary, given the amount that he drools.

Philadelphia Trip

,

Too early in the morning. Just changed and fed my little guy and put him back to sleep, but I don't know how much time I have before he wakes up again. It's been over a week since my trip to Philadelphia for Banner Summit, and if I don't post something about it now, I doubt that I ever will. Donovan blames his parents, and it'd be convenient to blame him, but truth is I've just been lazy (topic for some other time).

Oh, if you're not into incoherent, cynical rambling, check out my trip photos. You can subject yourself to esoteric blurry cell phone shots instead.

I guess the easiest way to do this is to cover one day at a time...

Seattle...quick stop

,

A very quick layover. only had time to get from gate to gate before boarding. Check out my photo album for a pic of Mt. Rainier

edit: here it is


Yeah, didn't have much time to do anything at all. This is from my (luckily) window seat.
