Born 2:45:10 PM PDT, 28 May 2008, La Jolla, California.

8 pounds, 10.3 ounces (3,920g). 19-1/2" (50 cm).

The technical gobbledygook after each shot is the equipment I used for each photo. Many photographer friends ask.

Katie took this picture of me today at lunch, using a camera even crappier than her vTech 1227:

Dada at Hot Off The Grill

She had me print this and other pictures of the family.

When I brought them home, Katie marked cut lines, and I cut them for her.

She made angels like this out of me and other freinds and family:

When I was doing pushups, I thought it would be more fun with Katie on my back. She obliged, making it more fun for everyone!

We go downstairs today, and each of my kids runs off and starts creating something from scratch all by themselves. As often happens, it was spontaneous creation.

Katie ran off to her table, and asked me for paper, and then some tape, and then lots more times for more paper. Each time, she was specific about what color of paper she needed. LIVE VIDEO: Here she is working away (iPhone 5 video, email quality). Just like any other serious artist, she doesn't want anyone seeing incomplete work. Interesting how kids do this automatically.
