ex machina

the eric update - day 316: fun with food! a series.

o.k. i realize that probably nobody is interested in a seeminly endless series of photos of odin eating. but it's a new thing for us which makes every feeding fun and exciting.

and beyond just the fact of the newness, i have to admit that he's so expressive that it just blows me away. this is another one of times where i catch myself remembering how different things were as a non-parent; sure, i'd seen pictures of food smeared from one end of an infant to another, but i never really thought beyond the "ha! look at the messy baby!" reaction.

little did i know that there was a whole lot more going on than just a mess being made.

so, today i decided to do my best to look beyond the smeared food to capture just a few of the many faces of odin.

Precious pictures. I personally never get tired of seeing food smeared babies.

My favorite is the "Hey Ladies; would you like some Sweet Potatoes"... I am sure I don't even need to describe the picture any further than that!!!

"How you doin'?" a la Joey Tribiani. He's so stinkin' CUTE!

I'm with everyone else - No. 'V' is the best! I love the last one too - food on his temple!- it always amazes me where i will find remnants of food when I am bathing my daughter!

ha! i think i like the hand-on-cheek-trying-to-look-smooth-with-sweet-potatoes-on-the-face picture the best, but it's hard for me to be an objective editor :-)

“"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.
