The Chinese people view a baby’s 100th day as a special day. Our handy counter on the bottom of our blog says she’s now 346 days old! It was my goal to capture those first 100 days of Kadence’s life and I finally created the last video of her first 3 months. This one is particularly fun because of her first fits of laughter.
When Vernier was promoting the new vision coverage benefit, they handed out gag-gift glasses. I took a picture of myself wearing them with my camera phone and sent it to Jenni. Apparently, it was the funniest picture she had seen of me.
At some point I had noticed Kadence smiling, kicking her feet and making noises when she saw other babies. She spends a lot of time at home by herself, so I decided it was time to get her a little friend.
I’m not normally interested in ornate furniture, but when my cousin Kevin sent me an e-mail asking if I would be interested in a Chinese table, I couldn’t help but be intrigued.
I never paid much attention to the Olympics before but Jennilyn’s excitement got me watching the opening ceremonies. As I thought about it, being in Beijing and hosted by China, the opening ceremonies would be a fantastic party. So I was somewhat excited to see what China had prepared to start off the Olympic games. What a show they pulled off!
Welcome to our new redesign! I had been looking to update our site for over a year but other things in life took priority. After settling in to our new home and doing long stretches of web development at work, I couldn’t stop thinking about web coding. Thankfully, Jenni understood my web itch and allowed me to be a code monkey in the evenings, weekends, and early mornings. Hey, when there’s a baby in the house, everything takes twice as long.
As part of Jennilyn’s birthday party, we took pictures of her and her friends to commemorate the day and also get a little goofy. Thanks to all her friends for being patient while I got my gear set up properly.
Ever since watching Batman Begins, I’ve been eagerly awaiting its sequel because it was a movie so good, I didn’t want it to end. Now, matched against Batman’s most famous nemesis, the Joker, it’s a battle royale for Gotham. And Joker definitely got a smile on my face for his performance. Why so serious? Because this is one seriously dark movie.
For Jenni’s birthday, I asked all the friends invited to our party to share a favorite memory they had of Jennilyn, and I put together a little slideshow as a conversation piece for the party.
