String Bean


This kid is doing as they say, growing like a weed. Our little guy grew 2.5 inches since a month ago and gained only 6 and a half ounces! He's now measuring in at 27.5 inches long and 13lbs 13.5 oz. He's one long, lean string bean.

Pecha Kucha Presentation: How to Make a Baby (in 761 days or less)

Last month Liv and I told the story of our journey to motherhood at the Columbus, Ohio Pecha Kucha event. Footage of the video and a link to the Columbus Dispatch article about the event follow (it was a fluke that we got coverage in the local newspaper...Karsten got his 15 minutes early!)

A to the D

That's A to the D to the O to the R-ABLE...
Oh my god, what are we supposed to do with such a freaking cute kid on our hands? I wanted a girl at first, but I am totally sold on the boy thing right now.
He's a heartbreaker....

Big Day Out




Somehow it seems fitting that for Karsten's first day out of the house, he got to ride in style in this 1985 Chrysler Town and Country. What a lucky little bugger.

P.S. We didn't tell him it was a hooptie!

Long Drink of Water


We have fallen behind in the past 3 weeks, so these posts won't be in chronological order for now.
In any case, yesterday Karsten got a Steif Bear from his friend Monica in Germany. We named her Leona. As my colleague at work said when she saw this picture, "He's a long drink of water."
We're thoroughly enamoured...
