    Spooky Otto

    2 comments

    Sigh. October rolls along. Otto gets bigger, makes crazy sounds. He likes to hold conversations with the things around him. Good quiet baby for the most part. Although he fights the night and tries to stay up as long as possible.

    sake!

    Megan, Otto, Scott, and Olivia made it down to Blue C Sushi the other day. Here’s to having a good time!

    wheee. Here is a shot of an almost smile. If I would of taken the picture a fraction of a second a later I would have got the real deal. But use your imagination, it’s almost there!

    The video has some changing table action. A little meep, meep, then a few smiles, a few more noises as poppa tries to tickle Otto, and then the sticking out of the tongue in the last 20 seconds.

    Wheeeee! Babies!

    12 weeks

    No comments

    I’m sure all Otto’s adoring fans have been clamoring for more! We reach the 12 week mark in his existence. Quite a lot of happenings in the past few weeks. First off, Otto would like to welcome the new additions in babydom since the last time you saw him – E & Sack got it done with Evelyn and most recently Damon & Nicole welcomed Margot. Otto continues to be one of the few boys in babyland.

    Otto’s got smile to go around for everyone, everyone except the camera. He’s a little giggle monster when he’s wide awake. He doesn’t quite appreciate poppa trying to get him to play around on his stomach, However, it is starting to payoff as he can crane his head up and look all around.

    Cedar River

    I got to take a field trip out to the Cedar River last week. This where a majority of Seattle’s water comes from.

    The first picture shows some salmon hanging out, waiting to make their moves.
    Next, is the masonry pool.
    Which is damned by the Masonry Dam.
    Which is fed by Chester Morse Lake.
    They all flow down Upper Cedar Falls.
    And are all surround by trees.

    We also took a stop by the fish passage and got to see some chinook, coho, and steelhead hanging out waiting to go up the pescalator. Which was installed as a part of Seattle’s Habitat Conservation Plan. If you can hold on (or fast forward) to the last 20 secs, it’s a salmon party!
