I'm back.

A week later and I am able to post those videos I promised..

Obie Crying

Trying to catch Obie doing something that at the moment cant remember what, but he just got upset and wanted to cry.

/UPDATE/ I remember now. I was trying to catch him do "the look." You know the one. Mom does it all the time. So does Dwayne Johnson.

First Time with the Bottle

This was the first success with the bottle. Now he refuses to even look at them.

Obie with his Grandma

Obie sitting with his grandmother just looking around. We learned early on that night that he likes to be where the talking is. Otherwise he gets upset.

Obie in his Swing

Obie just hanging out. He was sticking out his tongue at this point to signal that he is hungry.

I've got a few more recent ones. Still working at getting them online, so more to come. Also, there are some new pics on his album. Enjoy

My Apologies

I have not kept up with the blog for a few weeks now and I do apologise for that. Life has just been topsey-turvey lately. I've relocated the residence and have changed jobs and both of those have put a serious drain on this family unit. We are just tired and overwhelmed with this change. I think Obie feels it the most though as he is really unsettled and VERY clingy, which was a radical change in persona for him. To make up for it, I have uploaded SEVERAL home movies and will post them all today. Keep in mind these are a bit out-dated, but as soon as I unpack the camera charger (wherever that is), I'll have a fresh video up. In the mean time, if you ever need any of us, you can find us with the provided contact information below:

... and for those of you with Skype, the Skype name is NebsiNsaNe (it's easier to just copy/paste the name).

big updates...

After chasing after the wee one for an extended period of time, I have finally really have time to devote to blogging especially since today is rather momentous to say the least. Obie has finally started crawling with the traditional cross-crawl action, whereas for the past few weeks it's just been him doing "the worm". Earlier this week, he started to pull himself up to a standing position, which has resulted in quite a few bumps and boo-boos. Obie also called from his crib for "Da Da" this morning, he started saying "Ma Ma" a few weeks ago but only associates it with food. Two weeks ago he ate a fortune cookie, he seemed to like it. :) I'm going to try regular cheerios sometime next week!
On the size issue, he went to the doctor last Friday, here are the results:
27in long
18in head circumference
17lbs 11.5oz
I'm fairly sure that he's grown since then however, or at least he feels loads heavier.

Happy Fourth everyone!
P.S. Our plans of wrapping an American flag around Obie whilst naked were foiled by the fact that I wouldn't want him to pee on it :P
