Guess Who Figured Out How to Get Cell Phone Pics on His Blog

That's right....me! So, I thought I'd share some of the pictures that I've taken with my cell phone since the lad decided to grace us with his presence. Some of the pics are a bit out of focus, but taking pictures with a cell phone can, as many of you might know, be somewhat challenging. Definitely not Anne Geddess (sp?) material or anything like that, but still...

Here's Christopher an hour or so after his birth (upper left) and some random cute pic I had to get when he was about 3 months (upper right). Cuddling with his wolf teether thing (lower left) and falling asleep after almost an hour of screaming his head off (lower right)...don't worry, he was tired the whole time and couldn't be consoled at the time. So he got some supervised floor time. After long battle with the strong human urges to rest and recooperate, he had to succumb to the gentle beast of human nature.

(left)...we were at a party for the child of one of Colleen's friends. This was Christopher's first visit to Philadelphia since his intrduction to gaseous oxygen. Good times had by all. The pizza was really good I remember. We shared that same expression for much of the party. (right) Christopher at the Gastro-Intenstinal doctor at Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia (not a fun drive if you're wondering). He was, obviously, elated to find out that he was no longer under the weight charts in the dungeon of infant development...jumping from 4th percentile to 10th percentile. We all shared his excitement.

I hate to admit this, but I was at the mall (not an activity I practice often, trust me) and found myself being drawn into Gap Kids or Kid's Gap...whatever. The scary thing is that these pictures were taken almost a week apart...8 days apart to be precise. Regardless, after being drawn into the abyss, if you will, I found some humor in trying on these flap hats (we only tried them on because I refuse to pay over a certain dollar amout for baby clothing...call me irresponsible or Daddy Dearest if it makes you feel better). They made out for pretty decent pictures...and my son has the patience of a saint...a trait that he had to have gotten from his mother (for those of you who know me well).

Also note that Daddy has an uncanny ability to accessorize...brown hat with earth-toned outfit on left, red hat (barely noticeable...sorry) on the right with the red/white/blue athletic outfit...craziness...
