Road Trip to Bellingham

Posted on April 22, 2007 by Jonathan

Aside from a couple doctor visits and trips to the grocery store, we haven’t really taken Avery more than about fifteen minutes from home. Today as Avery turned one month old we made our first big trip in the car to attend a 1st birthday party for Bjorn. The trip was a success and we had a great time visiting with friends and watching Bjorn and his parents celebrate. We even managed to stop by Mallard Ice Cream Shop before heading home this evening.
Here’s Bjorn enjoying his cake.

The Drunkles Visit

Posted on April 22, 2007 by Jonathan

On Saturday we had Joe, Jake, and Joe’s girlfriend, Ashlee, come up to visit from Vancouver. Joe and Jake are high school buddies of mine, and they’re also Avery’s “Drunkles,” which basically means they’re good friends who like to drink beer with Avery’s Dad.

Four Weeks Old

Posted on April 19, 2007 by Jonathan

The weeks continue to slip by and now Avery is four weeks old. Parenthood is going well for both Lindsey and I. We’ve been getting three to four our stretches of sleep in between diapers and feeding Avery. Based on the stories we’ve heard from some of our friends “we’ve got a pretty good baby.”
Lately I’ve been having fun taking fisheye pictures of Avery.

I love the mischievous look on his face. Just out of the bath.

Bad Venison!

Posted on April 18, 2007 by Jonathan

We found out yesterday that the dog food we’ve been feeding Commodus for the last month has been recalled. The food is a venison and brown rice blend, which the pet store told us “was a higher quality food” compared to what Commodus was eating prior to a month ago. I think this is the first dry dog food that’s been a problem amongst the recent fury of pet food recalls.
So far we don’t think Commodus has been severely impacted by the food, but I took him to the vet this morning just to make sure he’s in good shape. At the vet they collected both a blood and urine sample. We should have the results back in a few days.
[4/20/07 Update] The vet called to let us know that Commodus’ blood and urine were both normal.
Here’s a shot of Commodus sticking his tongue out at Natural Balance Pet Food.

Three Weeks Old

Avery is three weeks old today. Lately he’s been a little less of a sleepy-head and has been more interested in some of his toys. Here are a few shots from this last week.

Are you looking at me?
