Things I want to teach my kid, #5
Clean up along the way, not afterward.
This applies to:
cooking / preparing food
outdoor stewardship
working
relationships
mistakes
your dog while the neighbors are probably peering our their windows.
but especially cooking / preparing food
Things I want to teach my kid, #4
Ski/snowboard.
The best way to get down a giant mountain covered in snow. I mean, just think about that for a moment.
Things I want to teach my kid, #3
Don't take "fake it 'til you make it" too literally. When you hear "fake it 'til you make it," hear "unashamedly imitate the greats and find out why and how they do what they do, until you are some version of great yourself, and you are surprised to find people imitating you, and somewhere along the way you will also become original." So yeah, "fake it 'til you make it."

Things I want to teach my kid, #2
Learn to tie a really good necktie knot, at the perfect length, and make it look easy. (This goes for daughters too, if I ever have one.)
Things i want to teach my kid, #1
Always do what needs to be done, but try to be nice about it. Really try. Event think hard about how you could try harder. But over all, always do what needs to be done.

Smiling Pirate Baby?
Henry is so cute.
You may be asking yourself, "Is this just a picture of a cute baby, smiling?" I would have to answer, "No. This is a picture of a cute baby smiling after getting 11hours and 15 minutes of sleep at 2 months of age."
Boo Yah.
Of course from about 2am on, I woke up about every hour, at every sound I heard him make, thinking that he was finally awake and wanted to eat, but that didn't happen until later. I know now. And hopefully this trend will continue and mommy and daddy will get more sleep and alone time. Happy Half Birthday to me.
Oh, I forgot that I have more to brag about: yesterday was his 2 month check-up and he weighs 12lbs. 12oz (75%ile) 23 1/2" long (75%ile) and has a head circumference of 15 1/2" (45%ile). He had to get 2 shots yesterday and only only cried for a few seconds after each.
