Technical points AND FREE PHOTO OFFER!!!

That's the free photo above- it's from about 71/2 months of age- he was VERY EXCITED about getting to hold and eat a rice cake after having pureed baby mush only from 4-5 months on. Now he's a bit more jaded and it takes a bit more culinary excitement than a rice cake to get that look....

So, two issues:

1) Yes, aren't those black and whites and pics of Javier and Nolan nice? Javier's mommy Andrea took them and send them after she scanned them (she has a "real" camera and knows how to use it!)

2) I just changed the set up so there are no restrictions on leaving comments. I haven't got around to entering families/friends emails into the restriction list and I haven't told any weirdos the address, so I don't expect any unsolicited comments of significance. If I am wrong I'll switch back! Please do comment if you like a pic or whatever- I'll be sure to tell Nolan, and by the time he's Will or Elise's age he may like to see what people said when he was a baby. I could also use some feedback to help me gauge the "likeability" of what I am doing with this.

Yes, I am awake at a ridiculous hour. Thought I might as well do something with all of that unharnessed alertness so got up to blog. Today may be a long day!
