ex machina

the eric update - day 457: you haven't forgotten how much fun it is to yell into your water glass, have you?

although odin has mastered the fine art of drinking from a sippey cup and a straw, he still enjoys practicing drinking from a big boy cup unencumbered by anything that could prevent him from enjoying the the simple pleasures of gulping and gurgling and occasionally making what sounds suspiciously like a satisfied "ahhhhh" after taking a particularly large swig from the cup.

adding to all the drinking fun - we've recently upgraded his big boy cup from its diminutive predecessor and odin has discovered that it's stupendously entertaining to yell into the cup.

we try to explain to him that unintended dire consequences can result from simultaneously yelling and drinking ( which is what i'm doing when i snapped this picture ), but he just eyes us suspiciously as if we're just out to ruin his new source of fun for no good reason.

“"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.
