hey what’s been going on

not a whole lot really outside of my Daddio visiting for the weekend. They came up on Friday evening and made for the border early Monday morning. We got up to relatively easy shinannigans. We went to IKEA, had some good suppers, my dad went with me to see Flame and I rode for the first time since December 2005. It was… an adventure to say the least. It could have been worse and for Flame not being exercised since sometime around the end of July, he was AMAZINGLY a good boy. Only 2 incidences of yeehaw rodeo time, which I miraculously stayed on for.

Lucien had some portraits done yesterday. He’s just over 4 months old, he’s starting to teeth (we have a few toothy bumps in his mouth), he babbles like nobody’s business. He sat for about 15 seconds unassisted on Christmas Day, and I think he may walk and totally skip crawling. He can stand and support his own weight with no help, we just help him with the balance. He also sleeps through the night. I have to explain however that his sleeping through the night doesn’t equate to other parents/babies sleeping through the night routines. Most parents I know put their kids Lucien’s age to bed bed around 630-7pm. Then they complain when the kid wakes at midnight, at 4am and then at 7am (or more). Lucien goes to bed around 10-1030 and will sleep through until around 5-7a these days. After he eats, he’ll usually go back to sleep till 8ish. So while I do have to wake up for 20 minutes or so early in the morning, I honestly cannot complain because he’s a pretty good nighttime sleeper.

I’ve been contemplating some changes with DIR/Picturing for a few weeks. I’m going to be combining the databases and putting my photoblog here on DIR. I just don’t have the oomph to be updating 5489572043729830584 sites, not to mention the time. As it stands now, I deal with DIR, Flickr, Lucien’s photo album on miaouphoto and trying to keep track of what I send my mom via CVS’ photo site for pictures to print. Once the databases are combined, I’ll be spending some more time figuring out how to make “private” entries private on WordPress and make the switch. Not to mention I can blog photos straight out of Flickr into my blog if I use WordPress.

SO, that’s it really. I’ll stick some pics in this here entry. Enjoy.

    His shennanigans are cruel and tragic.
