ex machina

the eric update - day 170: off weego, the big boy way!

after almost two months of being forced to sit facing whomever was carrying him in the weego, little odin seemed quite pleased to be able to sit facing forward! yes, indeed - we gave his a test run today and it seems like his head and neck muscles are strong enough to allow him to get a better view of the world while we're going out and about!

it takes a lot of energy on is part to remain sitting up and straight, so we probably won't go on long expeditions with him facing forward anytime soon, but regardless it's still another Big Boy Milestone.

as you can see, he's also discovered is tongue recently.

Just have to delurk to say how beautiful your son is and how happy I am to know that there is a little boy in Michigan whom I have never met who will grow in to a wonderful person. It's clear you and Kris have the magic parenting touch and I'm so, so glad that things have worked out as well as they have. Hugs to Odin, and if I ever have a girl, I hope they date.

"Just have to delurk to say how beautiful your son is and how happy I am to know that there is a little boy in Michigan whom I have never met who will grow in to a wonderful person."whoohooo! a comment! and such a nice one too :-) lots of people visit and (almost) nobody comments, so it's nice to have someone "delurk" every once in awhile.

"It's clear you and Kris have the magic parenting touch..."wow, what a compliment. especially since we seem to have misplaced the manual that came with odin when we left the nicu and often have no idea what we're doing :-)

Cute pic! And, that's a big milestone to be able to hold his head up and look around. Gone are the days of inducing a nap in that carrier, there's too much to see now :)

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
