That's an amazing bit of camera work!  :showoff:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Is it smart to post that picture where Siege can see it?

She is too old and fat for him anyway.

It's the same with pictures and videos.
My brother has like 1000 pictures of the first three months of his first kid's life.
You'd be hard pressed to find more than a handful for his second kid.

It's all good as long as your baby home videos aren't like this:

My kid was saying "No!" at 18 months.  When he is in a certain mood it doesn't matter what you're offering:

"Timothy, would you like a sucker?"

"No!"

*then show him the sucker and watch him race towards it*




As for obnoxious smug parenting stories... I went through the crawlspace storage looking for some packed-up baby clothes.  I didn't find the clothes, but I found something better.

Teddy.  My teddy.  Hand-made by my mommy back in '75.  Sure, he has mid-70s diaper-pins holding his arms on, and a couple of holes he is slowly losing stuffing out of.  But Baby Number 2 is definitely getting Teddy.  Or rather, excuse me, Ted. E. Bear, to give him his proper name. :wub:  I don't care if baby just chews on him, spits up on him, or whatever - it is what Ted E. Bear would want.

A not-so-smug story:

Little Tim has been getting up earlier and earlier each day.  Today it was 6am.  That's manageable during the week (I was already up), but is going to be intolerable on the weekend.  Any advice on how to get him to sleep just a little bit longer?

But seriously - no idea. Wish I did!

Check to see how much light is being let in at the window. The Sun: nature's damned alarm clock.

As soon as the sunbeam hits him, he'll be up.

In addition to the venetian blinds, we have a couple of sheets draped over his window to make it dark.  It is dark, but not pitch black.  I should give it another try.  Edmonton isn't as far north as Yukon and the perpetual light you'd get this time of year, but it is pretty far north, and the sun is supposed to rise at 5:18 tomorrow.
