Direct to Video

In case you’re curious, there’s a bum-load of new videos up at the PruTube.

Happy 5/6 of a year, Pru!

As a gift, we gave Pru a visit to her new pediatrician.  We even threw in some vaccinations – for free!  We are generous and wonderful parents.  The relevant stats (and a picture or two) are below the fold:

One stick for the road

One stick for the road

Height: 30.25  inches (96th percentile)
Weight:  22 lb 14 oz (89th percentile)
Head circumference: 46 cm (87th percentile)

Pru spent the whole visit trying to pull the cotton ball out from beneath the bandaid.  She succeeded in getting long strands of cotton which she then daintily put into her mouth.  Her father was amused; her mother was disgusted.  I thought I left those things behind in Texas!

And a bonus, just for sitting through that really lame abstracted pun:

Shes a stander

She's a stander

An Apple A Day

Steer clear, pediatricians!

No Country for Old Men

Michael McDonald just performed “America the Beautiful” at the Democratic National Convention’s Barackopolis location.  I was going to make a comment about how odd it is that the convention nominating the candidate of “youth” and “change” would feature almost nothing but music and musicians from before I was born.  Instead, I’m just going to link to this.

Tap, tap, tap

Is this thing on?   Yes?  Good.

Just poking our heads in to say that our Albany relocation plan is thiiiiis close to being complete.  We’ve spent the last couple of days assembling Pru’s new (and first!) nursery.  Don’t worry – pictures and a fully staged room suitable for HGTV filming to come this weekend.

We’re liking things so far.  People are nice and neighborly, there’s a Wal-Mart and a Target right down the street, we have a pool… Nice, nice, nice.   Basically, Albany is a lot like Texas with nice weather and higher taxes.

The Beagles Have Landed

We have arrived in Rensselaer.  At the moment we’re just hanging out, waiting for the movers to catch up to us.  Cal is very fond of having an almost entirely carpeted living space, though his feelings towards the two flights of stairs are somewhat more mixed (as mine will no doubt be soon, once you-know-who really gets crawling).

Next Stop: Albany

We’re (mostly) packed and ready for the big move North.  Unfortunately, this means giving up the cable Internet connection.  Talk to you later!
