Hale Regrets that He Has But One Nap to Take for His Country.

Second Cup of Coffee... (another video)

Tummy Time Work Ethic...

Grab a Cup of Coffee, This'll Take a Few Minutes

Thought we'd share a little video.

Hale's Been Missing You, Too!

It has been a good while since we've posted any Hale News. Things have been very busy here in the pixel mines--Amy and I have both been running full-speed on documentary projects. 

We've finally got a few minutes scraped together, and so I thought I'd splatter a few of the latest images from the nearly full-time HaleVision cameras we've installed in the NonFiction compound. 

Sometimes ya gotta read your kid some poems. Expecially when you're going away to Africa for a couple weeks. 

Like a bat, this one: Always sleeping upside-downish.

Tres generaciones. (never not sweet, right?)

The blurry close-up. Classic.

Amy thinks Hale looks like Casper the Friendly Ghost. 

At a barbecue--Hale's first--hosted by our neighbor's parents, the Damms. Nice, nice time.

Staring you down, Hale is.

Friends Phil and Catherine and Gabby stopped by to meet Hale. 

Shhh. Sleeping.

Don't forget to support listener powered Radio!

Hale True, I am pretty sure, is the youngest member of KEXP. He really digs the station. I can tell. Especially late nights with DJ Rizz. Don't forget the summer pledge drive is coming up. You too can get a cool KEXP t-shirt and look as cute as Hale.

In This Corner, Weighing In at NINE POUNDS: ChoCho Peligroso!

ChoCho Peligroso is Hale's Mexican Wrestler name. Roughly translated, it means "dangerous corn nut".

ChoCho has recently underwent a growth spurt of fearsome proportions, and tached in at a tick over nine today.

Watch out:



No, seriously. Watch out:

Wish Hale a Happy Zeroth Birthday!

Happy Zero Day!



Yesterday, April 22nd, was Hale's due date. He's now no longer negative years old, having advanced into the zeros.

The blog has been quiet since we brought him home, two and half weeks ago. But the camera hasn't.

Meet Larry Lobster.

Long story about Larry. Couple stories Actually. Hale's wearing a onesie from our friends Michael and Michele who run El El Frijoles, a taqueria in Maine. Michele was a teacher at JMSG with Amy, and Michael a photographer buddy of mine. Then they moved to Maine. We miss them.

Hale's got a buddy over there he'll meet over lobster tacos some summer, name of Jasper Wedgwood.

Ask Hale about Larry Lobster sometime.


Yes, Grandma Patsy, babies sometimes do that. Even in your house!


Thanks Grandpa Don for our latest Family Portrait!


Not falling, not flying; sleeping.


This one goes out to my brother Stevo, whom I think Hale resembles in this picture. And not just because his face is all squishy, either.


In order to take a baby home, you don't have to take classes, or get a licence, or become certified, or pass a test... but you do get a DVD!
