The Boy Likes His Hats

Zack — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 16:07:45 +0000

Josiah’s new thing is hats.

He’ll come running up patting is head and making the ‘Eh! Eh!’ sound, which, roughly translated, means, “Father, it appears that my head is exposed and I would very much like a hat with which to cover it.“

Something like that…

There’s A Reason I Call Him “Mini-Me”

I just gotta figure out what my mom was feeding me.

Look at that little double-chin…

9 Million Words

Zack — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 13:22:21 +0000

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then about 5 minutes of video at about 30 frames per second is about 9 million words.

It’s OK. Go ahead. Roll your eyes. I’m a geek and not ashamed of it.

Anyways, we don’t have a ‘true’ video camera at the Riesland house, but our little Fuji digital camera takes web-grade video and every once in a while we remember that and actually use it.

And even less often, I get around to putting the files on the computer and cleaning them up a little bit.

So, disclaimer: this is the part where 70% of you should probably bail because I’m about to show you a video of my kid and you’re going to say “what is it with people being so ga-ga over their kids” and then you won’t like me anymore and you’ll assume I’m not cool enough to hang out with you… which is probably true. So, there you go: you’ve been warned.

But for our friends and family who don’t get to see our little guy very often, here are 9 million words on what Josiah has been up to these past couple of months:

*And yes, I wear a sombrero when I cut the grass. Deal with it.

Caption Time

Zack — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:17:13 +0000

Every once in a while it’s fun to take a picture out of context, and then guess what would belong in a caption bubble.

This seems like a good candidate.

You go first.

Back Porch Picnic

We had a picnic on the back deck yesterday.

I snapped a couple of pictures….

Video: Toddler Learning To Walk + Mall = FUN

We took this a couple of weeks ago, when Josiah had only been walking for a couple of weeks and was just starting to get confident on his feet.

He had so much fun exploring the mall, and he was perfectly happy to walk away from us and go do his own thing…

He continues to live up to his name…

(low quality because I shot it with my phone)

First Weekend of Spring

Zack — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:02:28 +0000

This weekend was, by far, the most beautiful one of the year so far.

So Steph and I tried to get caught up on some outside work, and Josiah was our official helper/inspector.

He thought it was SO cool to be a ‘big boy’ and help outside. At one point, he found a broom, and held it for at least 30 minutes. He just walked around with his broom, looking very official (and trying not to tip over).

We had a blast:
