The Easter Bunny Brought Colter a Tooth!

It finally happened. Our little guy sprouted a tooth! Almost nine months in this world and here we thought his food pyramid would consist of mush and Cheerios forever. A tooth and he's testing out his ability to walk all in one week. I might as well be prepared, he'll be heading to college soon.

This is the End, the Only End, My Friend

Here's how 6 of 7 nights end in Huber Haus:
"Wake up, honey, it's time to go to bed."

Spelling with Flickr

Yes, I changed the font. Going with the default allows me to fit more.

Courtesy of one of my old teachers at MCTC (Ok, so Peter's not actually old, he's more of a former teacher), I present to you "Spelling with Flickr." Flickr is a way to post and share photos on the web. When I started this blog for Colter, it was a way to post pics for all the grandparents (isn't weird how nowadays you can have upwards of 6-8 grandparents? Cheaper by the dozen!), but because of the joy and ease of digital photography, we have not only way more pictures than we can print but more than I can post. So three months into this project, I've decided not only will I post updates on Colter and his progress of grasping this big wonderful world, now I'll add my own thoughts whether you want to hear them or not. Hah!

When I figure out how the hell to work with Flickr, I'll let you know the details of how to get to the pics, how to download them for desktop purposes (hi, pop!) and what else you can do with Flickr.

The first trick I learned from Peter was spelling with Flickr. All the details are in the link. If you want to change the look of the letters, just click on them. I'm not sure how this will turn out, but what the hell, some times you just have to roll the potato.

The first try didn't work. Go here.

Baby it's cold outside!

Colter has this annoying habit of acting like a suckerfish in an aquarium. I've been jawing about getting outside on the deck to try to get a photo of him doing his imitation. But, it's been...well, too damn cold! Today I ventured out because he was going at it full throttle. I got out there, just after he felt like he had done all he could do with this medium. An artist can take his art only so far! Froze my toes and only got these three shots.

So cute, so calm...it'll never last!

Ah, if only he'll sit this calm and quietly for four hours on two different planes, our trip to see Gramma Jane in Mississississippippi would go pretty darn smooth. You and I both know he's not going to. He's gonna be one of those babies that comedians make fun of in their routines. (see: "Jeffrey" on Bill Cosby's Himself video)

I'm gummin' it!

We're 8 months along baby boy and still no chompers. I do think you're envious of mama's teeth the way you paw at my mouth and touch each individual tooth with your finger and just stare; trying to figure out how they work. The way you can grab my shoulder with those gums and bite me like you have teeth worries me. Just what will it feel like when you actually do sprout teeth?

Mommy and Daddy have decided that everytime you cry or whine for no apparent reason it's got to be because you're teething. It's actually pretty funny considering there's no physical evidence that it's happening. Your gums are shiny and pink just as the day we brought you home. We're starting to think you'll be graduating college and still, no teeth.

There's No Denying the Power
