beef

it’s been a little while since i’ve posted any new pictures. I have a few but nothing really entertaining.
Attached are a video and a few action shots.

Overall, Otto is moving along nicely. Lots of random, varied noises escape his milk encrusted lips. His eyes dart around the room, trying to keep them securely fastened on momma’s every movement. Dad’s home all day on the weekends and throws everyone’s schedule out of whack. The pugs protect. The cats lounge. Otto takes his first airplane ride tomorrow to Sacramento to meet his 2 aunts and uncles and his cousin.

maybe you can tell, maybe you can’t. i haven’t decided whether or not i like it. it literally took me days to make the background appear like it was on the other site. i just couldn’t figure it out. of course, in the end, it was a matter of one line of code. firebug helped me visualize but i kept finding ways to change the wrong thing.

i updated from the original WP template – kubrick, to the newer one, K2. it has some interesting toys but i think i managed to capture most of the old site feel.

The last week and a half brought some new added excitement. A few more firsts were accomplished along the way. Otto went on his first ferry ride to Bainbridge Island to attend his first art opening for Karin Schminke. Pease also got his grubby little paws onto Otto on the ferry ride back. He experienced the true joy of a baby having a bowel movement!

Josie, Neel, and Rowan came over for dinner the following night. Tiberious considers himself a baby so he fir right in with the other two. Rowan is on the left, otto is in the middle.

Momma and Otto cuddling on the couch.

Anya and Axel had a party out on Lake Washington last weekend. Momma Pease was at it again. Also a nice full moon rising near dusk.

otto and i getting some quality time watching football together. He’s also giving me a few pointers on how to drink my beer.

after the morning game, we headed out to Deirdre and Patrick’s house on vashon. That was glorious. On the water, mid 70s. So close, yet so far.

Move forward another week. Otto appears to be able to focus on things a little farther out in his field of vision. Highlights for his week were a BBQ at Chard and Ang’s and then an afternoon at Bumbershoot. More cooing and strange odd noises. I’m trying to get him to work out by giving him some more tummy time. He’s ok with it for a little while, then he voices his displeasure. also an action shot of 1 Mr. Hodin. Tra la la, on with the images.
