6 weeks.

sweet sweet little otto is 6 weeks old today. nothing but loads of excitement. he’s had a few more firsts along the way. momma took him to happy hour last friday with diane and tiffany. otto got to go bowling with the cool kids on monday night. he;’s consistently getting into bath time these days, the water doesn’t bother him at all (the warm wash cloth on top and the warm water beneath don;t hurt things either.) a nice picture of momma and otto showing their displeasure with daddy taking too many pictures.

enough daddy!

It’s always nice to get some action and some noise from the little baby. The first one is calm and in the crib. The second one is loud and at the bowling alley.

more otto otto erom

otto looks to finish out 5 weeks with a bang. he had a great time with gramma and grandpa miller. he’s finally taking on little piggy characteristics. eating at all hours of the day and supposedly moving beyond the 9lb. mark. otto got to go to mugger’s tiki party on sat. he’s making his wishes known a little more often. no pictures of this but we’ll get them, he had his first bath in a little tub the other day. he’s not 100% on people sponging water over his little butt. tra la la! enjoy. i know i am.

I’ll update as I see fit.

and the beat goes on.

more pictures! the last week and a half saw megan’s sister amy and her daughter cece depart back to Vermont. It was a good visit.

As always, lots of pictures of me. I need to get more shots of momma and Otto. I also need those elusive action shots of Otto. However, he’s not one to go along at the moment. He’s got a few modes of operation - eat, sleep, poop….. He definitely likes momma’s touch.

He’s still a little peanut but our rough estimations have him up in the mid-7s for weight. He’s getting pretty good at craning his neck around when he’s put in such a position. Megan’s got the baby bjorn working and takes him out for walks around the neighborhood during the day.

wordpress 2.6

After 2 years of ignoring all Wordpress releases that have come out, I got adventurous and decided to upgrade from 2.0 -> 2.6. For some reason it was easier this time. Not really much crapped out, I lost my category tags for a while. But this blog allowed me to manually put them back into the database. I’m sure there are some nifty things I’ve been missing out on but nothing I can see right off the bat.

Anyway, if something screwy happens whil you are looking at the site, leave me a comment. I need the frustration!

wedding pt 2

some people pointed out that the wedding post about scott and diane had no pictures of scott and diane and no mention of diane. that should be taken care of with this post. we showed up at scott’s sunday afternoon, enjoyed a light breezy sunny day. some small talk and we were under way. as anyone knows a wedding with tim osumi is a wedding with words ( a wedding with words, who has ever heard of such a thing!) as always we were save from the terrorists and full of good humor. we had dual officiators form the Universal Life Church, which one i’m not quite sure, but I’m sure they are all good.

We were blessed with a quick exchange of vows. I think Tim was nervous, he couldn’t tell Diane and Scott apart. Witness a picture of the happy couple.

let’s thrown out another picture of otto with the three of us on the back porch

we drank some champagne and headed down the street to the local chinese place for some dinner. When we drove by it early - I thought for sure it was called the “Yummy Cake” restaurant. It would have been funnier if that was the case but alas. The food was quite tasty.

…and one final picture of the wedding party at the restaurant.

let's eat!

marriage….

neigh!

edit, more picture fun

week 2

Another wonderful week of all things Otto. His stump fell off on Friday.

Sunday had us all going to see Sharon Jones at the Woodland Park Zoo. It was a little chilly and rain threatened most of the time we were there but it was still a relaxing afternoon to list to soul sister #1.

hello grandma! it's chilly!

Amy and Cece arrived from Vermont on Wed. just in time for my birthday celebration.
