15 Months

Sydney had her 15 month check up this morning. Here are the stats:


Length: 32 1/2" (95th Percentile)


Weight: 22 lbs (40th Percentile)

Head Circumference: 18 1/2" (75th Percentile)


She looked great (even both ears) and is growing right on track. She is keeping us busy and learning new words all the time! Here are a few of her newest words: Hop, Wow, I-pad, Oh yeah!, How 'bout, and still lots of "uh" ' s.

Sydney found the baby!

This morning at breakfast, my growing belly was protruding over Sydney's tray. For a few short seconds she was very interested in it. So, a teaching moment ...

"Sydney, pat the baby!"

23 Weeks

A quote from the latest baby center update: "pretty soon you'll start packing on the pounds." Pretty soon?? Don't they mean "you've already started packing on the pounds?" I guess not. Regardless, my check up today went well and the baby is measuring right on track. I guess I'll keep eating that Buckeyes & Fudge ice cream William bought.

Long time reader, first time blogger. Sarah asked me to write a guest post for the world premiere of my SUP ("standup paddle," for you landlubbers) video “Memorial Day 2011: Pensacola Beach.” Here’s a little behind-the-scenes info about the video. Video equipment: GoPro Surf HD (courtesy of Mike “Whooo Farted” and Karen “Bubbles” McLeod). Director/Producer/Editor/Starring Actor: me. Supporting Actress: Sarah. Location: read the title of the video again. Weather conditions: HOT. SUP equipment: 11’ 6” Oxbow board, 74” Werner Spanker paddle. Corporate sponsorships: too many to name.

The video is probably a bit long for some of our more impatient readers (5 minutes), and I could have done a better job with the camera angles and keeping water off the lens, but overall it has some pretty cool footage of waves, wipeouts, and Sarah. Avid fans of my mountain biking videos will notice that the jamming stock music is missing…I deferred to Mother Nature in this one. Enjoy!

Happy Thursday

Summer in Alabama! It is offically summer in Alabama with a high of 99 degrees. We got out the splash pad today and had our friends over to play. The girls had a great time playing together - as always! Here are a few pictures from the day.
