ex machina

the eric update - day 328: an adventure in the park! or playing at a neurotically safe distance.

seeking a little change of scenery, we went on an field trip to a local park . i thought that we'd get to spend some quality time playing our new "tackle pops" crawling game, but alas, it seems as if there were far more interesting things to focus on than boring old pops.

i had made the mistake of sitting up on a hill overlooking a expansive play area with lots of kids running around and yelling and making lots of commotion, which odin found endlessly fascinating.

so much for playtime with pops.

even though it's we've said goodbye to rsv season, we're still a little paranoid about him playing with the unwashed masses since we've had a few close calls with the cold/flu/mystery illnesses with friends and family and assume that there are still bugs of various sorts in the wild.

maybe soon we'll let our guard down, but not quite yet.

deborah moroz: "Is Odin still saying "da da"? Any new words? What's the official move date? Inquiring minds want to know..."

of course he's still saying "dada"! no "mamma" yet :-) he likes to test his voice out a lot, but no new discernible words yet. the move date is the same ( and as vague ) as it ever was. sometime in the first or second week of june, depending on how quickly a number of loose ends get tied together.

“"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.
