17/52: From the feet up

16/52 Stop Go

Since I have been behind, here is one a bit earlier for this week!

The kid is always on the move and my brother jokes that his hands and/or feet are almost always a blur in photos.  I thought it would be fun to do a shot highlighting this.  This is a long exposure (about a second and a half) where I sat still and just let him do his thing.

15/52

Well I missed a couple of weeks. Sad day. Things got a bit busy there for a bit. Had the dissertation defense (passed!!). Did some edits (done!!). Went to Holland, MI to see stuff and try to make some connections (success, I think!).

Here is a picture of the kid flying back from Holland (not bad for a tablet...) - he got his own seat! That is always nice.

photo/video dump

This has been a busy week it seems, so I am pretty late on this.  On Thursday for half of the day there was snow visible on the ground so they closed daycare early and then didn't open at all the next day (despite no snow or ice on the ground).  I am slightly bitter still.

Anyways, here is this week's picture and a bunch of other photos and videos I have around.  Cheers.

I like this one a lot because he fell asleep while eating and just held onto my thumb like that.  Pretty cute.

A few short videos:

He loves standing these days:


We have one of those collapsible colanders and I was collapsing and expanding it. He thought that was great fun.




These two are funny because he was not terribly emotive that day. From a while back.

crazy week

This has been a crazy week.  First full draft of the dissertation is due today.  At the start of the week I hadn't had an intro or conclusion yet.  Still don't have a full conclusions.  Sara has been on service.  Oliver got his first stomach bug, complete with puking, and was home from daycare for a day and a half.  But here is a pic for the week...

Also, here is a funny video of Oliver standing up on his own (with some help balancing). I love his little grunts.

Scooting.

Oliver does not yet crawl, but today he learned that he could scoot across the hardwood floor while sitting.  It was pretty funny.  Here is a pic and video of it.

Oliver loves to read.

Oliver is a voracious reader already. He is super pumped about it, too.

this kid...

Oliver has been pretty funny lately.  He turned 7 months just the other day... crazy.  Here is a photo from the other day and a few videos I took of him this morning when he was just firing on all cylinders.

If he slept pretty good (which is not nearly what I would consider good sleep considering how many time he wakes me up) he will wake up really happy and just play by himself for a bit.



For some reason he loves his changing table sometimes. This is when I was trying to get him dressed today:



Then when we were playing on the floor a bit later (note how stylish he is here - 3 shades of grey and baby leggings!!):
