Month: August 2008

Highlights from a recent cage match between Conrad and his nemesis, Mister S.

At six months, roughly the same size as Marco

Conrad had his six-month checkup today. He’s a few ounces short of 20 pounds and once again I’ve forgotten his length. “When do we start calling it “height”? Maybe when he’s standing?” The figures put him in the 90th percentile for weight, the 90th percentile for longness and the 50 to 75th percentile for head circumference.

Luckily he’ll be so big and tall that no one will dare make fun of his tiny head.

Here’s the boy with two of his stuffed friends. One is a teddy bear dressed in a dalmation costume. The other is a teddy bear dressed in a bunny costume.

Why, exactly?

Note from Jean: Please also notice the ‘Beary hungry!’ bib. Although this is just a bear, not in any costume. He’s just beary hungry.

Wait a minute!

It’s been how long since they won a series?

Recently Jean’s grandfather Lowell celebrated his 95th birthday, and his great grandson was there to share it with him. Yet another occasion where Conrad was cheated of cake for lack of teeth. Check out the Flickr page for more photos from the event. I shot 343 photos the day we were there and I’ve narrowed the selection down to a reasonable chunk. If you were there and you don’t see a photo of yourself, then you didn’t spend enough time within five feet of the baby.
