Milk coma

Handsome devil. Fist at chin, as per usual.

Eli is 2 months old

Ready for scorching North Carolina summer.

Eli's newest activities: smiling; giggling; cooing; sleeping & sweating in a baby-carrier while mom logs dozens of miles per week walking around Carrboro; crying so hard his face turns purple when put in the carseat, thereby expending so much energy that he drops off to sleep mid-scream.

Stay tuned for Eli's first adventure in an airplane, this coming weekend. Michigan, here we come!

Social smile: mastered!

My mom asked for more videos

They bought us a lovely video camera for Christmas, but I can't figure out the software, so for now it's these dinky 19 second videos shot on our digital camera that I don't have the software to edit. Enough disclaimers, enjoy!

Much easier to put on than pants and a sweatshirt.

Burrito! By which I mean 'little donkey', not 'a flour tortilla folded around a filling'.
